Piqué caught with ‘Shakira’ in his car

Gerard Piqué, Barcelona defender, was spotted leaving training while listening to his ex Shakira in his car. The video was uploaded earlier this week by TikTok user @Carmonaa.23.

A bystander can be heard shouting “¡Vaya temazo!”, meaning “What a great song!”, the song in question is ‘Inevitable’, off Shakira’s fourth album, ‘Dónde Están los Ladrones?’ (‘Where are the Thieves?’).

The song includes the memorable lines: “I can’t find any way to forget you, because to carry on loving you is inevitable.”

Shakira confirmed the couple had split up at the start of June, after rumours Piqué had been been unfaithful and had left the family home.

In her statement Shakira said: “We are sorry to confirm that we are separating. For the well-being of our children, who are our top priority, we ask that our privacy be respected. Thank you for your understanding.”

Shakira and Piqué met in 2010

The couple had been together since 2010, when they started dating after meeting in Madrid just before Piqué helped Spain to win the World Cup in South Africa that summer.

Shakira sang the official World Cup song “Waka Waka (This Time for Africa)”, which she performed before kick-off of Spain’s 1-0 final win over the Netherlands at Johannesburg’s Soccer City Stadium.

Piqué had told her before the tournament that he would make sure Spain got to the final so he could see her there.

“I told her that I’d see her at the final,” he said in an interview in 2016. “She was going to perform in the closing ceremony and I was certain we’d make it that far.”
