Shakira and Gerard Piqué met in South Africa in 2010
Colombian singer Shakira spoke to the newspaper “El País” this Friday the 16th and spoke to the press about his relationship with the former Barcelona player. Gerard Pique. According to the singer, the beginning of her love life with the athlete was magical, with a series of romantic acts so that both could be together. However, the time they were in a relationship was not easy. “I was excited about him. I remember flying from Marrakech to Croatia. We were flying over Barcelona and I asked the pilot of the plane if I could land just to kiss Gerard. It’s the most romantic thing I’ve ever done in my life. (…) I wanted to be close to Gerard,” he said. One of the issues the singer raised at odds with Gerard was the two’s agendas, which were wildly different.
“When I started dating him in 2011, we hardly saw each other. [Ele] he was 23 years old, 10 years younger than me. Football player, handsome, with a playboy reputation… He was crazy back then. He’s a nice guy right now, but he was crazy back then and I had no guarantee that it would continue or that we would start a family. I didn’t make any sacrifices for him at that moment, I didn’t know what this boy wanted with me, suddenly he wanted to have fun and not for long. A year into his relationship with Piqué, Shakira revealed she wasn’t happy and described their life as a roller coaster. “Our relationship was very problematic, I was a Dragon Khan [famosa montanharussa na Espanha], because our professional lives didn’t go together, it was like mixing oil and water. I was a world traveler and he had to stick to a schedule. We didn’t get along very well.”
