Although few details were known about the relationship between Shakira and Gerard Piqué for 12 years, both on social networks and in the images taken by the paparazzi , the artists always seemed to be the one for each other, until at the beginning of June, they announced their separation through a joint statement.
“We regret to confirm that we are separating. For the well-being of our children, who are our top priority, we ask that you respect their privacy. Thank you for your understanding”, they expressed.
Since then, several versions have emerged regarding the reasons why the couple would have made the decision not to continue together, among them, the alleged infidelities of the player of Barcelona.
However, a new theory suggests that behind the breakup there would be irreconcilable differences of an economic nature. Recently, Roberto García, former partner of one of Shakira’s sisters, revealed to the Spanish media EsDiario that the interpreter of ‘I congratulate you’ and the footballer appeared to have a perfect relationship, but in reality there would be too many problems between them, mainly for money .
García explained to the media that on one occasion Piqué asked an amount to the singer, -without specifying how much-, to carry out some investments and other businesses, but she would have refused when she received a refusal from her parents.
From that moment the relationship would have fractured and they would have started the constant fights that ended up separating them: “According to what a person very close to them has told me, there has been an economic problem between the two. Supposedly, Piqué would have asked Shakira for money for an investment issue and the singer’s family has refused to give it to him. They don’t mix their money and take the family economy to 50%”, he said.
Likewise, she stressed that the singer always knew that her relationship with the athlete would never transcend the marital level, since, supposedly, she would have set her sights on him to be the father of her children: “Shakira He noticed Piqué because he liked him to be the father of his children. She knew she would never marry him, “he added.
So far, neither of them has spoken about their separation, which has been the subject of international media coverage for more than three weeks.
