The pop singer met the Spain and Barcelona defender at her official World Cup song set. They spent 11 years of their lives together before splitting.
Reportedly, Shakira divorced Gerard Pique after news of him cheating on her emerged. However, that wasn't the only factor why she decided to split from her ex-husband.
Apparently, she had to slow down her career and make sacrifices for her children, but the father of her children did not wish to do the same. In fact, when her older son, Milan, started school, she had to truly put the brakes on her career.
She opened up about the situation during an exclusive interview with Elle.
“I put my career in second gear and I came to Spain, to support him so he could play football and win titles. And it was a sacrifice of love. Thanks to that, my kids were able to have a present mom, and I have this amazing bond with them that is unbreakable and that sustains us. You know, that is it. That’s all I can say.”
