“The Day I Die…” – Gerard Pique Says He Doesn’t Want To Clean Up His Image Amid Girlfriend Clara Chia Marti’s Struggle With Severe Bodyshaming

Ever since his high-profile breakup with Shakira, Spanish soccer superstar Gerard Pique has had to face a lot of backlash from fans. Not only has he been subject to harsh criticism, but his new girlfriend, Clara Chia Marti, has also been through the same.

Whether it’s them making a public appearance or uploading a picture together on social media, the public hate has been nonstop. Things only worsened with the release of Shakira’s diss track on Pique and his current girlfriend, which became a global mega-hit. Despite all this, the ex-Barcelona star looks like he has no regrets and doesn’t want to clean up his image.

Gerard Pique gives out some big statements

Gerard Pique recently sat down in an interview with the Spanish media outlet EL PAÍS. He was questioned on some personal and professional topics. One of these hard-hitting questions was, “And how are you as a person? It seemed that everything had always worked out for him.”

“It is not like that,” Pique replied. “The problem is how people perceive it or how the press sells it. I keep doing what I want. The day I die, I will look back and hope I have always done what I wanted. I want to be true to myself. I’m not going to spend money cleaning up my image”.

I’m very happy”. He then concluded with, “There have been changes in my life and I have known how to preserve happiness”. Pique’s comments come amid girlfriend Clara Chia’s struggle with severe body shaming.
