Not many expected a split between Gerard Pique and Shakira. Having moved on, the former soccer star is with Clara Chia Marti, and the two have been together for around 12 months. The Pique family recently traveled to Croatia for a vacation. Interestingly, a certain detail from their holiday struck the fanbase’s attention. Within this brief span of time, Pique’s new girlfriend seems to have accomplished something that Shakira couldn’t achieve in her 12-year relationship with the Spanish star.

Following their breakup, both Pique and Shakira have been involved in numerous public disputes. Even today, they can’t seem to catch a break as their feud continues to keep them in the limelight.

Clara Chia Marti hasn’t garnered a favorable reputation in the eyes of the public. She has been portrayed as the cause of Pique’s separation from Shakira. The former defender left the mother of his two kids to pursue a relationship with the PR student. Despite not being too popular with the fanbase, the PR student seems to have left an indelible mark on Pique’s mother, Montserrat Bernabeu.

As per Prensa Libre, the strong bond between them became apparent during the Pique family’s recent trip to Croatia, where they spent several days relaxing on the Adriatic Sea beaches. A few images surfaced where Pique’s new girlfriend was seen spending quality time with the veteran’s family. Joan and Marc Pique, father and younger brother of the former Catalan star, were also spotted chilling with Clara Chia.

Indeed, it’s quite interesting to see Clara Chia quickly adapting to Pique’s family. Remarkably, she has accomplished the acceptance and affection of Pique’s mother, something that Shakira never could do. Over the years, Shakira had a challenging relationship with the mother of the former Spanish soccer player. In fact, there were multiple instances of conflicts between them, which even led to physical altercations!
