Barcelona’s Gerard Pique recently made headlines when he mentioned the name of his former partner, Shakira, for the first time in an interview with TikToker John Nellis. The sports star candidly discussed why he needed a break from football and intense public limelight due to complicated circumstances. During the interview, it was asked who most famous person in his contact list was, and Pique simply replied with “Shakira”. Shakira has been making waves lately with her latest song which some have interpreted as lashing out at Gerard Pique. However, this did not stop Cristina Tarrega from praising him for being respectful towards his former lover despite her current musical efforts. Pique is no stranger to controversy and being in the spotlight but it seems that in this instance things were handled very professionally – a testament to how much respect he still has for his former partner.
It is refreshing to see that even highly successful celebrity couples such as Shakira and Pique can remain civil and have no bad blood after their split. Fans of both Shakira’s music and Pique’s football skills are delighted at the prospect of them potentially having a positive post-relationship dynamic; something that usually fails to happen between celebrities who had a tumultuous split. Gerard Pique is not only praised for his on-field talents, but also now off-field management of one of the most talked about celebrity relationships ever seen. He showed immense restraint when dealing with publicity around his past relationship while maintaining a peaceful rapport with Shakira. It’s clear that there is still mutual admiration between them both, proving it is possible for exes everywhere to coexist without long lasting bitterness or animosity between each other afterwards.
With all of this being said, it seems that Shakira and Gerard Pique have managed to achieve something extraordinary – a friendly relationship after their split. One can only hope that fans of both superstars will get to see the two stars collaborate together in the future! Only time will tell.
