In a shocking twist to the highly publicized separation of renowned singer Shakira and footballer Gerard Piqué, new reports suggest that they were involved in an open relationship prior to their bitter breakup. The former couple officially announced the end of their 11-year partnership in June 2022. They found themselves amidst a storm of infidelity accusations that ultimately led to their separation.
The scandal erupted when Piqué, 36, was accused of cheating on the 46-year-old songstress, shortly before their split. However, the former FC Barcelona and Spain footballer vehemently denied the allegations. He had asserted heavily that there was no infidelity on his part. Instead, reports claimed that the estranged couple had an unconventional arrangement. This arrangement allowed them to pursue their romantic interests while presenting a united front to the media.
Spanish broadcaster José Antonio Avilés shed light on the alleged open relationship. He stated that Shakira and Piqué had mutually agreed to a “you do what you want and I do what I want” arrangement for three years before their separation. Avilés’s statements were reported by El Nacional de Catalunya. The statements suggested that despite their understanding, the public image of their relationship remained intact.
The revelation of an open relationship reportedly came as a shock to Piqué’s inner circle.
Many of them were taken aback by Shakira’s references to infidelity. The footballer himself was reportedly annoyed to learn about the allegations through the press. This would further indicate that the reason for their breakup was not solely related to fidelity issues. Journalist Pilar Vidal added that Piqué was surprised by Shakira’s initiative in making the statement about infidelity. Particularly as he did not want speculation to overshadow their separation.
Following the split, Shakira relocated to Miami with their two children, Milan and Sasha, after being awarded full custody. The singer has since been romantically linked to Formula One racing driver Lewis Hamilton, sparking further interest in her personal life.
As the truth behind Shakira and Gerard Piqué’s alleged open relationship emerges, the public remains captivated by the unravelling of their once-envied romance. With accusations of infidelity and revelations about their unconventional arrangement, the aftermath of their breakup continues to capture the attention of fans worldwide.
