Piqué: "People don't even know ten percent"
After twelve years, the marriage between Colombian pop-rock icon Shakira and ex-footballer Gerard Piqué has come to an end. Pictures of the 36-year-old with a much younger student are doing the rounds and a diss track by his ex-partner has surfaced. Now Piqué has spoken out in more detail for the first time.
For the first time, Gerard Piqué has spoken in more detail about his break-up with his former partner Shakira. In an interview with the Catalan radio station "RAC1", the 36-year-old former professional footballer says that he only got through it all because he shielded himself from the accusations. After the celebrity couple split in the summer of 2022, the 46-year-old took sharp shots at Piqué in a song, among other things.
"I can't go out every day and deny things that aren't real," said Piqué in the interview. "People don't even know ten percent of everything that has happened," he emphasizes. However, the 36-year-old does not want to talk about the 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 after the break-up. The former FC Barcelona player and the 24-year-old are now a couple. At the beginning of the year, he posted a photo together on Instagram for the first time.
Piqué: "Would have thrown myself from the sixth floor"
Shortly before, Shakira had released the song "BZRP Music Sessions #53" with producer and DJ Bizarrap. "You swapped a Ferrari for a Twingo. You swapped a Rolex for a Casio", she hurled in the direction of her ex-partner and Marti, among others.
Piqué hinted in the interview that the time after the break-up with the singer was obviously not easy: "If I had attached any importance to what was said about me, I would now be locked up in an apartment or have thrown myself from the sixth floor."
Shakira and Piqué met while filming the music video for her song "Waka Waka (This Time for Africa)", the official song of the 2010 FIFA World Cup. They got together shortly afterwards. 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.
Despite the public scrutiny and the bold lyrics in Shakira's song "BZRP Music Sessions #53", Gerard Piqué managed to endure the challenges post-breakup. He shared in an interview that he avoided focusing on the rumors, preventing himself from falling into a state of despair, potentially even considering suicide.
