“Shakira Is Giving Us a Great Gift” – Tourism President Expresses Gratitude to Gerard Pique’s Ex for Drawing Eyes Towards Costa Rica With Real Madrid Legend’s Reference

Since her split with Gerard Pique, Shakira has constantly been a news headline. In the current context, she lives in Miami with her kids and parents. Recently, her dad underwent major brain surgery in Colombia. Earlier this month, she made a trip back to Spain and then to her hometown. After spending some time with her father, she unexpectedly traveled to Costa Rica.

The reason for her sudden trip to Costa Rica is still not very clear. But the President of the Tourism Commission was quite happy with her sudden appearance. The Central American country is thankful to the singer for drawing some eyes toward them.

Shakira is appreciated for her trip to Costa Rica with a soccer star reference!

Costa Rica was one such place that used to be extremely tourism-rich. But the COVID pandemic had severely impacted their tourist numbers. In 2022, they managed to recover some of their losses. That is because more than 2.3 million tourists visited Costa Rica in 2022. But everyone’s focus is now currently on the Central American country. That’s because the Colombian icon has gone there.

Deputy Carolina Delgado, Tourism Commission President was quite happy to welcome her. Along with her kind words for the singer, she also made an interesting reference to a former Real Madrid legend. She said, “Shakira is giving us a great gift. It’s like when Keylor Navas tackles any ball in any country, everyone thinks of Costa Rica”, as compiled by La Teja and translated by Google Translate.

“It’s news that Shakira is here, as many other artists who come have done, it makes everyone wonder. ‘Why are they going there? I want to know”. Apart from that, the paparazzi spotted the Latin American singer in a restaurant by the Intercontinental Hotel in Escazu. Quite a few pictures of the singer posing with fans have surfaced on social media too.

From the looks of it, Shakira just recently landed in Costa Rica with her kids. Just days ago, her ex-boyfriend dropped their kids back to America after a two-week vacation.

Gerard Pique and Shakira’s current scenario

Before her trip to Colombia and Costa Rica, Shakira was in Barcelona. She had traveled to Spain with both her children. She handed them over to their father and then enjoyed life by making various public appearances at the Spanish Grand Prix, and many more. After a two-week period, Pique flew back to Miami with her kids. While everyone expected that they would stay longer, the singer dropped a hard NO.

The retired defender’s brother will be tying the knot on June 24. On that day, Pique is reportedly looking to announce his engagement date with Clara Chia Marti. The entire paternal side wanted Milan and Sasha to be a part of the celebrations but she straightaway said NO. While Pique’s marriage with Chia Marti is still in dicey territory, Shakira wants nothing to do with Chia Marti and her future with the soccer legend.
