LAST MINUTE: Shakira Confirms She’s Divorcing Pique

Shakira has decided to put an end to the rumors of a crisis in the relationship, take a step forward and confirm the break with footballer Gerard Pique. The singer does this via a short statement from her communication agency. †We are sorry to confirm that we are breaking up† For the well-being of our children, who are our highest priority, we ask that you respect their privacy. Thank you for your understanding,” reads the publication.

In recent days, rumors of Piqué’s infidelity had skyrocketed. The journalist Laura Fa revealed that “the singer caught him with another and they’re getting a divorce,” the television employee said bluntly. Apparently, the couple had been in a serious crisis for some time and the footballer had been living alone in his old apartment in Barcelona for a few weeks.

One of Shakira’s latest songs has gained special relevance after they confirmed their breakup. The text of this new theme seems to be addressed to her ex-boyfriend† ‘To make you complete, I broke into pieces. They warned me, but I didn’t listen. I realized yours is fake. It was the drop that overflowed the glass. Don’t tell me you’re sorry. That seems fair, but I know you well and I know you’re lying. I congratulate you on how well you act. I do not doubt that. Continue with your paper. That show suits you. I don’t believe in that cheap philosophy. I’m sorry, I don’t ride that bike anymore. I can’t stand people with two faces. I who put my hands in the fire for you. And you treat me like one of your desires. Your wound has not opened my skin, but my eyes are red from crying for you. And now it turns out you feel it. It sounds sincere, but I know you well and I know you’re lying. I do not need you. You have lost a real person. Something told me why we weren’t streaming. He’s going to stab you if he remembers how we ate each other. As before. You leaning on your back on the handlebars. Burn the anesthetic. I didn’t block you from the networks so you can see the others in the Mercedes. Don’t tell me more stories, I don’t want to know. How come I’ve been so blind and couldn’t see. You should get an Oscar, you did so well.”

The truth is Shakira and Pique’s relationship went through ups and downs and eventually it ended in what appears to be a permanent breakup, ending 12 years of dating. The footballer and the singer got to know each other during the shooting of the music video ‘Waka Waka’, the song that served as the soundtrack for the 2010 World Cup. In May of the same year, the couple fell together at the Rock in Rio celebrated in Madrid. “The first day I told her we would meet in the final, I was always brave. She sang the World Cup song during the ceremony and I assumed we would play that match,” explains Piqué.

Although the relationship ended in a rift at the time, the footballer called the hip-movement queen the love of his life† “I won the biggest title you can win and I met the love of my life. I came back from South Africa a different person and had an unforgettable experience,” confessed a smitten Piqué. Since the beginning of their relationship, the ex-partner went through numerous crises, which the press has repeated. Shakira is joined by her problems with the Treasury when she splits with the footballer. The singer is accused of disk fraud of 14.5 million euros that will bring her to court. The Colombian artist, who has already returned the money demanded by the tax authorities and the associated interest, is being prosecuted following a complaint filed against her by the Barcelona Public Prosecutor’s Office for six crimes against the treasury. It seems that Shakira’s life is about to start one of the most difficult chapters, although the singer has the unconditional support of her parents, who have never separated from her at any time.
