“There Was a Lot of Insecurity” – Despite Breaking Up With Ex-Argentina President’s Son, Shakira Experienced ‘Jealousy’ From Gerard Pique During the Start of Relationship

Before her breakup in 2022, Shakira was in a decade-long relationship with Gerard Pique. While the fanbase considered them to be the perfect couple, their relationship had a few flaws. In a recent interview, the Latin American singer speaks about the ‘jealousy’ that she faced at the beginning of her relationship. While the two of them share a dream love story, the FC Barcelona legend wasn’t best pleased during the inaugural phase.

Before dating Pique, the Colombian icon was in a relationship with the Argentine President’s son. Despite parting ways with him, he was still present in some way or the other in their lives.

How did Antonio de la Rua affect Shakira’s relationship with Pique?

Before Pique entered her life, Shakira was in a relationship with Antonio de la Rua. Antonio had heavy political connections due to his father. ‘Political pressure’ was one of the problems that they faced quite often. The two of them had a house in Nassau where they had created a lot of memories. But even after their breakup, he kept visiting the place.

During the 2010 era, the Latin American singer was also quite busy with her career. After gaining immense popularity at the FIFA World Cup, she used to travel around the world for work purposes. Recently, she revealed that she preferred going to Spain and visiting Pique during her free time rather than trying to address anything with her ex-boyfriend.

In an exclusive interview with El Pais, she said, “I start dating him and if I have a little free time, I’d rather go see him than go to the Bahamas to meet my ex. It was a situation that Gerard did not like at all. So, to appease Gerard’s jealousy a bit, which was natural because we didn’t have a consolidated relationship”.

“There was a lot of insecurity on both sides and the wounds with my previous partner were open,” as translated by Google Translate.

Apart from Pique’s jealousy, things were quite complicated between the Waka–Waka singer and Antonio de la Rua.

Shakira dated Antonio de la Rua for 11 years

Before meeting Pique, the two of them dated from 2000 to 2011. By profession, Antonio is a lawyer but was mainly popular for being Fernando de la Rua’s son. But the celebrity couple had to face a lot of problems due to his political links during their eleven-year relationship. After their split, he continued to legally represent the Colombian icon. But years later, he played his trump card.

The former Argentine President’s son sued Shakira for $250 million. He accused the Grammy Award winner of not paying his legal team. He claimed that there were too many unpaid settlements. But the court immediately dismissed his case because the work that Antonio did for Shakira was not contractual, as in there was no legal agreement for the same.
