Shakira And Piqué: The Complete Story

The singer Shakira and the soccer player Gerard Piqué have decided to put an end to their 12-year relationship, of which two children remain. Due to the relevance that this couple had, it is important that you know in detail the timeline of this scandal to find out the full story.

Love story

It was around June 2010 when Shakira and the Spanish soccer player met. At that time, the Colombian singer was recording the official song of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa "Waka Waka (This is Africa)."

The relationship becomes official through the social networks Facebook and Twitter, once the two share a photo with the description "I present my sun", this occurs in March 2011. But it was not until May of that same year while Shakira was on her tour “The Sun Comes Out World Tour” which had a presentation in Barcelona, in which some players from the FC Barcelona team took the stage. This is where Shakira and Piqué shared their first kiss in public.

In 2012, the relationship became more formal when the two celebrities attended the red carpet of the FIFA Ballon d'Or gala as a couple, which took place in Switzerland in January. The surprise would be for September of the same year when Shakira and Piqué released the news together about their first child. 

The couple happily welcomes their first-born Milan, whose birth occurred on January 22, 2013, and everything seemed like happiness, fame, and success. However, in June 2014 Shakira tells the public that a wedding with the Spanish soccer player is not included in her future plans. A couple of months later, in August, both celebrities announced that they would receive their second child. 

Rumors of a separation

Although everything was going normally in September 2017, rumors arose about the possible end of the relationship and Piqué denied it by sharing a photograph of his entire family with the title "Family time". In January 2018 Shakira won the Grammy Award for Best Latin Pop Album, and the couple was caught singing the song "Me enamoré", whose lyrics tell how their romance began.

In November 2019, the Colombian singer reports that she suffered from depression and that the Spanish soccer player had seen her in her worst moments. Shakira herself in January 2020 confessed her fear of the commitment of marriage and affirmed that she did not want to be seen by her partner as a wife. She also stated that she prefers to always be seen as the bride.

After the rumors of the breakup, many funny images related to this news were shown on social networks.

By February 2020, Shakira made world news for appearing in the company of Jennifer López at the Super Bowl halftime show on February 2, precisely on Piqué's birthday. This already raised doubts in the followers of the famous couple and in February 2022 the reason for Piqué and Shakira's frequent discussions was revealed to the public, something supposedly related to punctuality and being late.

Things begin to show their true face and in April 2022 Shakira released the song "Te felicito" with the singer Rauw Alejandro and it begins to spread among her fans that the lyrics of the song are directly dedicated to Gerard Piqué. Then, in May, the newspaper "El Periódico" revealed that Piqué was unfaithful to Shakira. In addition, he has left home and has moved to a single apartment on his property, located on Muntaner street in Barcelona.

Finally, through a statement dated June 4, 2022, Shakira confirmed that she separated from the soccer player Gerard Piqué.
