The alleged betrayal committed by Piqué and caught by Shakira stirred up sports and celebrity news this week. Following the revelation, Spanish newspaper El Períodico added details on who would be the pivot who could end the couple’s more than decadelong relationship.
According to journalists Laura Fa and Lorena Vázquez, Piqué’s alleged lover is “a young blonde in her twenties” who studies and works with events. The information contradicts rumors that the Barcelona defender cheated on the singer with Gavi’s mother, a 17year promise by the Catalan club.
“The appearance of this young woman in Piqué’s life may have caused the couple to live temporarily apart,” the journalists explained. They report that the player has been living alone in his old apartment for a month and is “out of control” at nightclubs.
“The reality is that Piqué and Shakira hardly speak to each other these days,” the journalists added. Although they brought more information about the alleged lover, she has not yet been identified.
According to the newspaper, Piqué and Shakira are considering making a statement about the player’s alleged infidelity after the news broke.
More than 11 years of relationship
Piqué and Shakira met during the 2010 World Cup, which Spain won. They have been together ever since, one of the most famous couples in the world and have two children: Milan and Sasha.
However, they never married. In March of this year, the 45yearold singer justified the decision by saying that she was afraid of the “idea of marriage”.
“The idea of marriage scares me. I don’t want him to stop seeing me as his ‘girl’. It’s like that forbidden fruit, I prefer to keep him alert and think that anything is possible depending on his behavior,” the singer revealed to the Planet Weirdo podcast.
Over the years, the couple has consistently posted passionate notes on social media. On Instagram and Twitter, Shakira last mentioned Piqué in a post in late March, praising the defender after the El Clásico defeat.
In addition, Shakira’s new song “Te Felicito” is pointed out as a possible indirect connection to Piqué. The song, released at the end of April, tells in its lyrics the case of a discovery of treason.
“To complete you I tore you to pieces, they warned me but I wasn’t listening” and “Don’t tell me you’re sorry, that sounds sincere but I know you well and I know that.” you lie” are some of the lyrics of the track.
