However, after announcing their separation in June 2022, their relationship has hit a rough patch. The custody of their children has been a sensitive and critical issue in their separation agreement.

Following a separation meeting, both agreed that the children would live with the singer in Miami in early 2023. However, Shakira has reportedly made it challenging for a footballer to meet his kids, who have flown to the US as per their custody agreement following their heartbreaking separation.

As per their custody agreement, Pique can meet the kids for ten days every month, with his traveling expenses being covered by the songwriter. However, Shakira is not allowing the 36-year-old to stay with the kids for ten days as per the recent reports.

According to Lorena Vazquez on the Mamarazzi podcast.

“Gerard Pique will finally not be able to spend those 10 days with his children, as stipulated in the agreement, because Shakira has made things difficult enough for him to do so.”

The reason behind this, as explained by Vazquez, is that athlete was with his children until April 2, and hence, he can only spend eight more days with his children.

Shakira parted ways with Pique last year following a 12-year romance, and she moved to Miami with her kids in search of a peaceful life.

The couple met in 2010 on the set of Shakira’s World Cup song Waka Waka, and Spanish media reported that Pique had been unfaithful to the singer, which was the reason for their breakup.

The sports player went public about his relationship with Clara Chia Marti shortly after the split. Recently emerged footage has also suggested that he was already dating the 24-year-old when Shakira was traveling with their children.

While the mother of two and Pique never revealed the reason for their separation, in an interview with Elle for the October issue, Shakira finally opened up and addressed the situation, saying.

“Oh, this is hard to talk about personally, especially as this is the first time I’ve ever addressed this situation in an interview. I’ve remained quiet and just tried to process it all. Um, and yeah, it’s hard to talk about it, especially because I’m still going through it, and because I’m in the public eye, and because our separation is not like a regular separation. And so it’s been tough not only for me but also for my kids. Incredibly difficult.”

In another interview with Spanish media, Roberto Garcia, an ex-boyfriend of one of the singers’ sisters, claimed that their relationship had problems for months before their separation, and the real reason behind it was money.

Garcia alleged that Pique was not only caught cheating but also asked Shakira for a significant investment in one of his businesses, which she denied, leading to the ruin of their relationship.

Although the former couple never married, their separation was a shock for fans.
