Gerard Piqué (36) speaks in more detail for the first time about the separation from his former partner Shakira (46). In an interview with the Catalan radio station “RAC1”, the former professional footballer says he only survived all of it because he shielded himself from the accusations. After the celebrity couple separated in the summer of 2022, Shakira, among other things, took a sharp shot at Piqué in a song.

“I can’t go out every day and deny things that aren’t real,” Piqué said in an interview. “People don’t even know ten percent of everything that happened,” he emphasizes. The 36-year-old did not want to talk about details.

Gerard Piqué and Shakira were a couple for around twelve years. According to media reports, Piqué was repeatedly seen with the much younger student Clara Chia Marti (24) after the separation. The two are now a couple. At the beginning of the year he posted a photo together on Instagram for the first time.

Shortly before, Shakira had recorded the song “BZRP Music Sessions” with the producer and DJ Bizarrap (25).

In the conversation, Piqué indicated that the time after the separation from the singer was obviously not easy: “If I had attached importance to what was said about me, I would be locked in an apartment right now or would have been on the sixth floor overthrown.”

Shakira and Piqué met while filming the music video for her song “Waka Waka (This Time for Africa)”, the official song of the 2010 World Cup. They got together a little later. Their first son, Milan, was born in early 2013, and their second son, Sasha, was born in 2015. The couple finally announced their separation in the summer of 2022.
