Things have turned quite sour between Colombian singer Shakira and soccer veteran Gerard Pique. What was once a much-revered couple in the eyes of the public met its doom unexpectedly after Pique’s infidelity. A few months before their messy breakup, the singer had revealed how important punctuality was to the La Masia graduate. Further, Shakira admitted that most of the couple’s fights would happen if her former partner was asked to stay up late at night.

While being a man of his word and time, Pique’s public reputation has taken quite a hit after Shakira released a series of diss tracks targeting the Barcelona veteran.

Shakira reveals Pique’s relationship with time

In 2021, the Colombian singer made an appearance on a podcast, Planet Weirdo. During the interview, Shakira stressed the importance of time management in the lives of stars. She also admitted that Pique is very strict and particular about time management. Much of his punctuality could be attributed to his life as a soccer star and his pre-set schedule at FC Barcelona.

On Planet Weirdo, Shakira stated, “My poor husband, slash boyfriend, slash baby daddy, whatever you want to call him, he has to wait up for me so long. He’s tired of waiting up. Cause Colombian time is not the same as Catalonian time or Spanish time,”  as reported by ET Canada.

Talking about Pique’s thought process, the 46-year-old reiterated, “He’s very strict, very punctual. He’s been brought up in a football team where he’s a team player and he has to be [punctual]. It’s like the army,”
