‘Most stupid man of the year’: Social media reacts to Shakira and Piqué split rumours

Reports surfaced that the Barcelona defender was kicked out by Shakira after he was allegedly caught cheating.


The rumour mill is in overdrive in Spain and Europe due to the allegations that super couple, Spanish footballer Gerard Piqué and pop icon Shakira have spilt. 

The reports surfaced after a Spanish publication El Peridico claimed that the Barcelona defender had moved out of their family home and was staying in a bachelor pad since the breakup. 

Piqué was allegedly kicked out of their home after he was caught cheating, with further claims suggesting he has been partying up a storm ever since. 

Shakira and Piqué have been together since 2011. Shakira is 45 years old whilst Pique is 35, and they are not married. They have two children together, sons, Milan and Sasha. 

The last time the Whenever, Wherever hitmaker shared a picture of her family was on Mother’s Day, a photo of her boys kissing her on the cheek.   

She captioned her post: “With one kiss they can cure it all and make it worth your while to keep fighting for them. Happy Mother’s Day!”

Both Piqué and Shakira have not commented on the rumours of their split, as the singer’s last post on her social media account was her thanking her fans for her classic single, Hips Don’t Lie reaching one billion streams on Spotify. 

Twitter users had a field day with the cheating and spilt rumours, with many baffled how the footballer could allegedly cheat on a woman considered one of the sexiest in the world.
