Months after the breakup, Shakira is overcoming the crisis, while Piqué is still suffering the consequences of the betrayal
Shakira and Piqué announced the end of their relationship in June last year after the singer discovered she had been cheated on by the former player. Since then, the artist has shown that she has gotten over the breakup. Not only did she earn millions, but she also received awards for her songs at several events and is still enjoying life with new affairs. Meanwhile, Piqué continues to be “persecuted” by his exwife’s fans and continues to suffer the consequences of the betrayal to this day. Check out what life was like in the two months after the breakup below. Shortly after the breakup, Shakira and Piqué exchanged several taunts. After the singer released the song “BZRP Music Sessions #53” in which she bashes the former player and Clara Chía, the woman with whom he cheated on her, his life began to become difficult. Shakira’s song even reached number 1 on Spotify worldwide. Just a few days after its release, the artist had already earned more than R$115 million. In addition, she broke 14 world records with the album in which the song is included. Meanwhile, Piqué had to suffer all the consequences of betraying the artist. The former athlete and Clara Chía were thrown out of a restaurant because the owner of the restaurant declared himself a Shakira fan
Piqué was also asked about Shakira in virtually every interview he gave after the breakup. In one of them, he even said that he wasn’t worried about what others thought of him: “The day I die, I will look back and hope that I always did what I wanted to do.” I want to stay true to that. “Myself. No, I will spend money to clean up my image.” The former player was also accused of xenophobia in one of the interviews. He spoke about the issue of mental health due to the criticism he received on social media, especially after the release of BZRP Music Sessions #53. “I can give you an example of the problem that occurred last year. My exwife is from Latin America. They don’t know what I’ve received on social media from people who are their fans. A lot of barbarism,” he said. The athlete’s reaction caused such a huge response online that it even reached Shakira herself. The Colombian singer responded to her exhusband’s comment via Twitter. “Proud to be Latin American,” she wrote, adding flags of Latin American countries including Brazil. In May, it was revealed that Piqué had exchanged blows with Tonino Mebarak, Shakira’s brother, following a tense argument between the excouple. Tonino would have attacked the former athlete to defend his sister. While Piqué continued to be embroiled in controversy, Shakira was making millions and enjoying life. In addition to breaking 114 world records, the artist also enjoyed time with her children and posted several photos of superproduced looks on social media. In July, the artist won eight of the nine awards for which she was nominated in the 2023 edition of “Premios Juventud”. The singer was very touched and made a strong statement as she accepted the honor during the event. “My greatest happiness is to have the fans that I have. Every day you inspire me to improve and not give up. The truth is, when I had doubts about myself, you made me believe in myself again. When I felt fragile, you fulfilled them.” You gave me strength, accompanied me, protected me, showed me loyalty. They celebrate my joys with me and accompany me in all my struggles,” they explained. In the same month, People magazine announced that the artist was dating Lewis Hamilton. Because she went behind the scenes of Formula 1 several times. When she was at the Miami GP, she appeared on television with Tom Cruise shortly before the start. Many people suspected that there could be a romance brewing with the actor, but this was denied by the singer. That same weekend, the Colombian was spotted having dinner with Hamilton at a restaurant in the American city after the race. However, the romance doesn’t seem to have lasted long. In July, Shakira was spotted having dinner with NBA star Jimmy Butler. The singer and the athlete started following each other on social media after she watched the NBA Finals game between the Miami Heat (the star’s team) and the Denver Nuggets in June. According to Chron, the two stars avoided arousing the interest of the paparazzi by arriving at the restaurant separately and found themselves there in a very pleasant atmosphere. Recently, Shakira had a scare while recording the video for her new song “Copa Vacía.” In the recent video, the singer’s team caught a mouse on the sets and the diva panicked when she saw the animal was near her. On social media, it was left to Piqué. The Colombian’s fans said the rat was the artist’s ex. “Piqué penetrated behind the scenes of the video,” said one internet user. “Piqué shows up unannounced,” joked another. “Piqué wants to be a protagonist,” said another. Also, last week, Piqué was about to speak at a final event for his soccer league when the audience started chanting Shakira’s name. The former player was extremely angry and replied to the spectators: “At least I am world champion and you are nobody.” Waka Waka, a Colombian song, was played to mark the occasion
