Life hasn’t been easy for Gerard Pique or Shakira since the breakup. While Shakira eventually decided to move out of the country, Pique continued to live in the toxic-paparazzi environment. Along with constantly being in the limelight, he is trying to start a new but private life with his new partner. While Clara Chia Marti doesn’t really speak to the media, the soccer veteran has done all he could to shield her.

While the journalist was ‘legally’ doing his job, Pique almost ran over him.

The popular Spanish journalist in the limelight is none other than Jordi Martin. In the last year, he has become an ever-shinning presence in the Shakira – Pique controversy. Along with unveiling the first picture of Pique and Chia Marti together, he has also broken a few major news pieces. Quite a few times, Martin has also interacted with the infamous couple.

But recent reports suggest that Martin might need to put this controversy on the back burner. That is simply because the FC Barcelona legend has taken legal action against him. After chasing them for months, the retired defender has asked for a restraining order. If the request is granted, the popular journalist will not be able to go within 3000 meters of them.
