The controversies about Gerard Pique and Shakira have become incessant despite their separation taking place almost a year ago. Pique’s infidelity with Clara Chia Marti was highlighted to be the main reason for his split with Shakira. However, as per reports, Pique had suspected Shakira of cheating on him years before the ex-couple decided to separate.
Spanish journalist Jordi Martin recently reported that Gerard Pique once suspected Shakira of cheating with the Colombian star Maluma. The two Latin-American artists collaborated on the song ‘Clandestino’ and ‘Chantaje’ back in 2018 and 2016 respectively. During the shooting of ‘Clandestino’ which took place in 2017, Pique’s suspicion about Shakira’s alleged affair with Maluma arose.
The song demanded the two stars burning the midnight oil that often ended with Shakira returning home late in the morning. Apparently, this made Gerard Pique insecure and jealous, which is why he once gatecrashed to check in on Shakira and Maluma. However, Jordi Martin did clarify that Pique‘s suspicion was proved wrong and nothing happened between his ex-girlfriend and Maluma.
Despite Pique’s insecurities, Shakira has only good things to say about Maluma. Shakira described her experience of working with Maluma, who’s reportedly worth $22 million, as “absolute chemistry.” Even Maluma admitted that he feels a deep artistic connection with Shakira. Although they haven’t worked together since ‘Clandestino’, the Colombian duo continues to remain good friends.
Shakira’s alleged affair with tennis legend Rafa Nadal
Jordi Martin also revealed details about Shakira’s alleged affair with Spanish tennis legend Rafael Nadal. Martin recently appeared on a TV show where he hinted at Shakira’s affair with Rafa Nadal. However, he refused to outright mention Nadal’s name. Martin said, “She (Shakira) got involved with someone equally or more famous. He is a world-renowned person and a top sportsman. He’s not a footballer, he’s a tennis player.”
He further said, “I say that there was something in a video clip with a top athlete in Spain, among the three best athletes in the history of the country. That’s where I leave it, I can’t name names.” The clip that Martin referred to was the music video of Shakira’s 2010 hit ‘Gitana’ which starred Rafael Nadal alongside the Colombian songwriter.
The host further asked whether Shakira’s affair was with someone who had won the most Grand Slam titles in history. To which, Jordi replied “Yes,” and therefore, confirmed the rumors since Nadal is currently the player with the most Grand Slam titles in the history of men’s tennis. However, Jordi Martin did assert that the affair took place before Shakira started dating Pique.
