What happened to Shakira’s affair with ex-Barcelona defender Pique? Shakira “completely broke up” with Pique, and Pique was scathing of Shakira’s fans. Shakira then issued another statement.
Shakira completely breaks up with cheating boyfriend Pique.
Singer Shakira, 46, and former Spanish footballer Gerard Pique, 36, announced their break-up in a joint statement in June 2022. Although Shakira and Pique were not officially married, they have been together for almost 11 years and have two sons aged 10 and 8. It is also known that the reason for the break-up was Piqué’s infidelity, and Piqué is currently dating Clara Chia Marti, who is in her twenties.
In January 2023, Shakira released a diss song, ‘Shakira: Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 53’, aimed at Pique and his affair partner, Clara. In the song, Shakira asserts that she is “worth two young 22-year-olds”. She also likened Pique’s switch from her to another woman as being like trading “a Ferrari for a Twingo” or “a Rolex for a Casio”, and in the chorus, she says: “I was a high point for you. So now you’re with someone who is your equal”, in a scathing diss.
Shakira is known to have put her own career second in order to support Pique’s football career and moved to Barcelona, where his club was at the time, and continued to live in the house where she and Pique lived after the break-up, but in April 2023, she decided to leave Spain to say goodbye to Pique completely. The move was to Miami, Florida, USA, where Shakira used to live, and where she has a new life with her children in a property she owned as a holiday home after moving to Spain.
Former Barcelona defender Pique scathingly criticises Shakira’s fans.
Appearing on sports journalist Gerardo Romero’s YouTube channel just as it became clear that Shakira was leaving Spain, Pique said, “This has been going on for about a year, my ex-girlfriend is Latin American, and I’ve received a lot of messages from her fans on my You have no way of knowing what has arrived on social media. It’s barbaric. But I don’t mind it at all. Because I don’t know them (i.e. the commenters). They are as if they don’t exist. I will never meet them. They are like robots,” he said, suggesting that he was being slandered on social media by Shakira’s fans and “declaring war” that he had no intention of dealing with them.
Pique’s stance is that he “doesn’t pay attention to things he can’t control” and that “it’s become a sort of trend to start fights, but I don’t think about what that does to the mental state of the other person. （’If I care too much about (other people’s) comments, it will kill me’; ‘I am really happy now. I try to have the best time with people who love me and my friends. This is essential for me”.
In this interview, Piqué emphasised that Shakira is “Latin American”, to which some people responded, “Why do you have to say you are Latin American? Some people have accused Shakira of racism, saying, “Why do you have to say she’s Latin American?” and “Are you trying to say that Latin Americans are the kind of people who attack people on social media?
Shakira also seemed to fall for this statement by Pique and later tweeted that she was “proud to be Latino”.
Orgullosa de ser Latinoamericana.

Below is a full translation of Shakira’s statement.
In this period of change in my life as a public figure, it’s understandable that there is a permanent curiosity on behalf of the press around me and my family. However, my children, Milan and Sasha, have endured a very difficult year, suffering incessant harassment and persecution without relief by the paparazzi and several media outlets in Barcelona.
Now that they are beginning a new life I implore the media on behalf on my children to please respect their right to privacy. I beg you to abstain from following them to the entrance and exit of their school, wait for them at the door of our home, or follow them to their extracurricular and recreational activities as the media did in Barcelona with the intent of capturing photos or boosting ratings.
I trust that the journalist and photographers here will be sensitive to the situation that Milan and Sasha are facing and can behave in the most humane way possible with them, keeping in mind that this is about the physical and emotional health and safety of two minor just 8 and 10 years of age, who only want to be able to go out in public and attend school feeling safe and tranquil that they aren’t being followed or subjected to the constant scrutiny of cameras. I extend this petition not as an artist, but as a mother who wishes to protect and care for the psychological and emotional well-being of my children so they may live a happy and healthy life, as all children deserve to do.
Thanking you in advance for your understanding and support,
Shakira
Incidentally, Shakira has custody of the children, but the arrangement is that she spends time with Pique during long holidays.
