In recent times, Shakira moved to Miami with her children. The Colombian singer wanted to get away from the toxic environment in Spain. Life hasn’t been easy for the former celebrity couple after their breakup. Earlier this year, the singer lit the music industry on fire with her diss tracks. Since then, Gerard Pique’s life has seemingly become a nuisance.

However, there was once a time when both of them were quite happy with each other.

Back in 2021, Shakira’s ex-manager who lost $600 million in a cryptocurrency scandal once spoke about the unbreakable bond between the two of them.

Gerard Pique brought out the best in Shakira!

The Waka–Waka singer parted ways with Pique in 2022. Shakira came back from a work trip and got to know about his infidelity in quite an unusual manner. While the two of them do not look at each other anymore, there was once a time when they were the ‘perfect celebrity couple’. In today’s context, both of them are ever-ready to criticize one another.

However, this always wasn’t the case. Just months before their tragic split, the singer’s ex-manager, Jairo Martinez thoroughly praised the soccer veteran. He said, “My opinion of Gerard is this, when a person brings out the best in you, he has to be a good human being. The Shakira who’s with Gerard is the best Shakira I’ve ever seen” as compiled by Infobae. [translated by Google Translate]

While both of them had their respective careers, Shakira and Pique were both there to support each other. For example, Shakira turned up at numerous FC Barcelona games while they were together. In the same way, Pique also visited the singer’s shoots quite frequently. Interestingly, co-singer Maluma once revealed that he was extremely intimated by the soccer veteran’s presence at the shoot.

While life isn’t going too smoothly for the former celebrity couple, it’s pretty much the same for Jairo Martinez. He is currently going through a major financial crisis after the cryptocurrency scam.

What happened to Jairo Martinez?

Some months ago, Martinez revealed that he was in major debt. That was simply because he naively lost $600 million in a scam. Martinez revealed that he was quite overconfident about investing in cryptocurrencies. But he then described the cunning nature of everyone around him. He said, “You think you know them all, but there’s always someone more cunning than you”.

“You never finish getting to know people”. Martinez shockingly revealed that he can currently only afford to live on a ‘rice and egg’ diet. Even after having such a successful career managing personalities like Shakira and Ricky Martin, Martinez still needs to account for every penny he spends after the major scam.
