The former Barcelona star has seemingly accused his ex of misrepresenting the facts about their break-up.
In a rare and fiery interview, former Barcelona star Gerard Pique has accused his ex and Colombian pop queen Shakira, of being misleading about their high-profile break-up.
Over two years after their dramatic split, Pique, 37, finally opened up about the controversy, addressing the rumours surrounding their relationship and his new romance with 25-year-old Clara Chia Marti.
Pique, who now seems content in his new relationship, emphasized that much of the narrative surrounding his separation from the 47-year-old Colombian star wasn't entirely accurate.
“In the end, the truth or what happens or occurs is not told in the way it was. I cannot control this," the Blaugrana legend stated in a revealing interview with CNN via Dario AS.
The former Spain international hinted that he’s more at peace than ever, despite Shakira’s repeated public jabs, including labeling him ‘Voldemort’ in her songs.
I’m Very Happy’ – Gerard Pique admits he is loving his new relationship with Clara Chia Marti
The ex-Barcelona defender, who shares two sons with Shakira, Milan, 11, and Sasha, 9, didn't shy away from expressing his happiness with his new partner, Clara, a 25-year-old employee at his company, Kosmos.
Despite the 12-year age gap and Shakira’s not-so-subtle criticisms of Clara, Pique insists he's living his best life.
“I am very happy, I have a great time and I feel privileged,” he added, gushing about his life surrounded by his loved ones.
In the interview, Pique reflected on his personal journey, saying:
"The life I have had, being able to play for the club of my life for more than twenty years, wonderful children, an incredible family, lifelong friends... that gives me a lot of peace of mind."
The interview comes amid continued speculation and drama between the former couple, with rumours swirling about how Shakira allegedly discovered his infidelity through a jar of strawberry jam.
While Shakira has since debunked the myth, the drama is far from over.
Pique is also reportedly considering marrying his new girlfriend, who has been out of the spotlight for several months.
