A real earthquake sounded throughout Barcelona last Saturday when Shakira and Gerard Pique announced their split in a joint statement, after around twelve years of relationship. “We regret to confirm that we are in the process of separating“they had expressed themselves, leaving everyone in shock. However, the smiling Shakira seen at the Cannes Film Festival on May 25 in a little golden dress did not let anything show. Maybe she -even would never have imagined such a scenario.
The couple was first weakened by rumors of infidelity targeting Gerard Pique. Some Spanish newspapers thus revealing that the couple had been going through a marital crisis for several weeks. A photo of the Colombian in the hospital posted on the networks also caused trouble, but the singer restored the truth about it, with a photo in support, explaining that she was accompanying her father with a facial injury.
“Respecting our privacy”
Anyway, regardless of the exact origin of their separation, it has indeed been formalized by the two protagonists. And despite their differences, they made a point of making their sons Milan and Sasha their top priority, asking everyone to be kind to them. “For the well-being of our children, who are our greatest priority.ity, we request respect for our privacy. Thank you for your understanding” they continued through their press release.
The two lovebirds met in 2010 on the set of the clip “Waka Waka”, one of the singer’s flagship hits. They formalized their relationship a year later on the networks, before announcing the birth of Milan, their first child, in January 2013. A family that grew two years later with the arrival of their second child, Sasha. A beautiful love story, of course, but which now belongs to the past, according to the latest revelations of the two stars.
