Gerard Piqué and “Waka Waka” singer Shakira, sadly announced their breakup after over 10 years of courting, through a joint statement released by their public relations firm.
The couple chose to never get married because they felt their relationship, much like Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodríguez, was fine as it is.
“We regret to confirm that we are separating,” confirmed the statement.
The two went ahead to ask for privacy during this period to protect their two young children, Sasha and Milan Piqué, from getting involved in the situation.

“For the well-being of our children, who are our highest priority, we ask that you respect our privacy. Thank you for your understanding.” The statement concluded.
Reasons behind their breakup still being unclear and rumor yet to be confirmed, that the Spanish professional footballer Gerard cheated on the Columbian songstress.
However, it was claimed the relationship ended the day the footballer suddenly moved out of their family home in Barcelona, and decided to live by himself, some weeks ago.
The two met in 2010 after the singers’ breakup with Antonio de la Ra, the son of Argentina’s former president.
Moving from one relationship to another was however difficult for the musician as she had lost hope coming from her past relationship.
“When he (Gerard Piqué) came into my life I was hopeless, I felt a sense of hopelessness. My life, I had no faith that I could be happy again and he came to rescue me from all that,” expressed the musician.
