Gerard Pique and Clara Marti are now officially an item after Shakira split. No more speculation. The former football player introduced her as his woman via an Instagram update, seven months post-break up with Shakira.

Gerard Pique and Shakira’s split was unexpected as these former lovebirds who cherished their privacy had been inseparable for more than a decade. Though never married, their relationship was as solid as rock, and it did not matter whether the Columbian singer was ten years older.

The duo, who met on the set of Shakira’s World Cup hymn “Waka Waka” (2010), confirmed their relationship the following year, and in 2013, they welcomed their first child. Soon, baby number two followed, yet they did not think about getting married, as the singer often shared that they had the essential: love, already and would not be defined by a union.

It seemed that love was just not enough. Gerard Pique and Shakira’s split happened in June 2022. The couple shared a statement asking for privacy while they continue to co-parent. Before fans of their love story digested the horror, the Spanish football star had already moved on. Gerard Pique and Clara Marti, his younger lover are now official, following a post from Shakira’s ex.
