Shakira is one of the most famous pop stars all around the world. She sang Waka-Waka for the 2010 World Cup and became the favorite of soccer fans. However, her connection with soccer didn’t stop at Waka-Waka. In the same tournament, she met the Spanish star soccer player Gerard Pique. He was a key defensive piece for not only his country but also the soccer-ruling Barcelona. While Shakira might have been new in the soccer community, she was well-known all around the world.
Pique and Shakira would start dating and soon became one of the most influential couples in the soccer world. In 2022, the fairy tale would turn bitter. Both publically announced their separation after 12 years of being together. Shakira would talk about dealing with the breakup alone and how she felt.
This progression would end as the soccer world witnessed a war of words between the two in 2023. The Columbian pop star dropped a bombshell of a diss track on Pique, which led fans to witness an unbelievable series of events. The Latin pop star created headlines along similar lines by purchasing a home in 2003.
