What was the real reason behind Shakira, Gerard Pique's split?

The news of singer Shakira being stunned after spotting Gerard Pique’s new partner Clara Chia Marti in an old video interview makes us wonder if infidelity was the main factor behind them going separate ways so let's find out.  

Not too long ago, the former couple jolted fans with the sudden news of their parting after 12 years of togetherness. 

In fact on June 4, 2022, both gave an official statement to Reuters saying, "We regret to confirm that we are separating." They added, "For the wellbeing of our children, who are our highest priority, we ask that you respect their privacy." 

While Pique went public about the fact that he is dating Clara, 23, shortly after his split with the Hips Don't Lie, singer. The recently emerged footage insinuates the footballer was already dating Clara while Shakira was traveling with their kids. 

This only proves that Pique's cheating might have been the staunch reason behind their separation. 

 In fact, right from the end of their relationship, the soccer star was linked to the 23-year-old student Clara Chia Marti. A Spanish media outlet even released photos of the two kissing at the Summerfest Cerdanya festival in Catalonia. 

In yet another chat EsDiario, Roberto Garcia, who’s an ex-boyfriend of one of the pop star's sisters, revealed that while Pique's and Gerard’s relationship appeared perfect to the fans, they had problems from months before calling it quits. He also went ahead and revealed that money could have contributed to it. 

Pique was not only caught cheating, but also asked the Columbian singer for a huge investment in one of the businesses as claimed by Garcia. However, the Waka Waka singer denied which somehow fractured their relationship.

Although they never got married but shared a long bond which was unforgettable.
