“The Most Romantic Thing I’ve Ever Done” – Shakira Admits Stopping Nearly 1600-Mile Flight Just to Give Ex Gerard Pique a Kiss

The fans still cannot believe that Gerard Pique and Shakira are no longer a couple. The two of them sadly parted ways a little over a year ago. The Waka–Waka singer decided to walk away with Milan and Sasha after her better half’s infidelity came to light. But the two of them definitely spent some quality time together. In a recent interview, the singer spoke about her most romantic gesture.

She once requested the pilot to make a stop in Barcelona so that she could just give her boyfriend a kiss! The beginning of their relationship wasn’t easy for them. This is mainly due to both of them having totally different careers with different hours of commitment.

All about Shakira’s most romantic gesture

Shakira always wanted to make time for her better half who lived in Spain. But she was struggling to do so. At that time, the singer was at the peak of her career. She became even more of a global presence after Waka – Waka at the 2010 FIFA World Cup. After that, she endlessly traveled from one part of the world to another for work purposes. That severely had an impact on her family time.

In a recent exclusive interview with El Pais, she said, “I was delighted with him. I remember flying from Marrakesh to Croatia. We were flying over Barcelona and I asked the pilot of the plane if he could land briefly just to give Gerard a kiss. It’s the most romantic thing I’ve ever done in my life”. The Waka–Waka singer had halted a 1600 km flight to just briefly meet her partner.

She then confessed, “I wanted to be close to Gerard”, as translated by Google Translate. But situations were tough. Honestly, both of them were quite busy at that time. Pique was an important part of Pep Guardiola’s team at FC Barcelona. On the international stage, he had also just won the World Cup alongside Carles Puyol. The soccer veteran was turning into more significant roles on and off the pitch.

But it just wasn’t meant to be forever for the ever-shining celebrity couple. In 2022, they publicly announced their breakup. Let’s dive deeper.

Why and how did Shakira break up with Gerard Pique?

The fanbase always thought that everything was going right between Shakira and Pique. Honestly, it always seemed like that. After giving birth to two children, the Colombian icon still continued to occasionally travel for work purposes. Similarly, she had returned from a trip last year. That’s when she came across an empty jar of jam in the kitchen.

While the FC Barcelona legend never touched jam, the kids never liked it too, she knew something was wrong and then got to know about the infidelity of Pique. In current times, she herself takes care of the kids at their new base in Miami. On the other hand, the retired defender is looking to start afresh and tie the knot with Clara Chia Marti his new partner.
