After twelve years of love in which they have formed a beautiful family, Shakira and Gerard Piqué have decided to go their separate ways. As per Reuters, following weeks of speculations, the singer and the FC Barcelona soccer player have announced the end of their relationship via their PR agency.
“We regret to confirm that we are parting ways. For the well-being of our children, who are our highest priority, we ask that you respect their privacy. Thank you for your understanding.”
Although their situation from now on will be different, both will always remain united by the two children they have in common, Milan and Sasha, who came into the world in 2013 and 2015, respectively.
