Gerard Piqué Breaks Silence on Shakira Breakup: ‘The Truth Hasn’t Been Told’
The F.C. Barcelona player assures that he has always been "calm" after their high-profile divorce
More than two years after announcing their breakup, and after many digs between them, Gerard Piqué has broken his silence in an interview with CNN en Español, stating that «in the end, the truth or what happened hasn’t been told the way it really was.»
Despite wanting to keep it private, the soccer player was also part of the media spectacle, driving a Twingo and wearing a Casio watch after Shakira’s song with Bizarrap, where the singer expressed her truth and took shots at the athlete.
«I can’t control this. The best thing is to stay surrounded by my loved ones, my family, my friends, the people who really know you. They know who you are and what you do, and that gives me a lot of peace,» the Catalan added.
Despite the attacks from his ex and the media pressure, Piqué, with his usual calm tone and apparent nonchalance, said he is «very happy» and feels «privileged.» «The life I’ve had, being able to play for the club of my life for more than 20 years, having wonderful kids, an incredible family, lifelong friends, the ones from school that I still keep in touch with…” he listed.
Additionally, he pointed to the media for «controlling a narrative» and each outlet saying «what they want to sell.» «Everyone likes to give their opinion and have their point of view on things,» the businessman said, trying to downplay the situation.
Shakira, ‘Soltera’ and on Tour
On the other hand, the Colombian singer is preparing for her Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour. She recently released new dates, with which she’ll travel to various countries in Latin America and North America.
The artist continues to champion female empowerment after heartbreak with her latest song ‘Soltera‘ released on October 11, where she still throws a jab at who might be her ex, with the final line: “So that jerk, when he sees me, it hurts, living the single life is great.”
