Although she spoke more and more about the reasons why her love story with the former soccer player ended, she didn’t speak openly about the role that Clara Chía Martí played between them.
According to the likes of El Periódico de Catalunya and El Gordo and La Flaca collaborator Jordi Martin, the 24-year-old was “the third party in the fray” in the relationship.
According to La Vanguardia, the composer found out that the Spaniard was unfaithful to her when they were still living together thanks to a bottle of jam in her fridge at home.
However, after several months of completing the breakup, she would have unexpectedly found out with whom he had cheated.
How did Shakira find out about Clara Chía and the connection to Piqué?
It was Lorena Vázquez, owner of the Mamarazzis podcast, who shared the date, in 2022, that Shakira allegedly knew who Clara was.
“They (the Colombian and Piqué) broke up in March, but they only made it public in June,” said the journalist while participating in the show “Aquí Catalunya” this Friday, June 30.
“Shakira didn’t know who Clara Chía was until August, when she gave her a name and saw her face,” she later said.
Vázquez also revealed the alleged way Shakira identified the woman who had been in a relationship with the athlete for some time, even though he had a partner.
“Chía went to his parents’ house one day, accompanied by Gerard. A person who was at the singer’s villa at the time took pictures of the girl,” the communicator said.
It is worth remembering that both residences, that of the parents of the founder of the Kings League and that of the performer of “I congratulate you”, are connected.
“The paintings ended up in Shakira’s hands. Eventually she saw the connections and finally knew who Clara Chía was,” Lorena said.
Shakira would have seen Clara Chía earlier
Even though Shakira apparently found out in August 2022 that Clara was Piqué’s conqueror, she would have seen her sooner.
Last February, speaking to Juan Etchegoyen of Miter live, journalist Roberto Antolín explained that the singer-songwriter had met Clara at Kosmos Global Holding SL
“Because when I visited Gerard at his company, I saw her there as an intern,” she said.
However, Antolín pointed out that at the time, the music superstar did not expect his children’s father to be unfaithful to Chía.
“It was a total surprise. That’s why it hurt her so much because she already knew her and called her a ‘dead fly,'” she commented.
