Gerard Piqué Makes No Apologies For Split From Shakira After Alleged Cheating Scandal: ‘I Keep Doing What I Want’

Former professional soccer player Gerard Piqué said he’s “very happy” and makes no apologies for his breakup with singer Shakira last year.

The couple was together for 11 years and share two children though they were never legally married. They announced their split in June 2022 amid rumors of Piqué cheating on Shakira. The athlete is currently dating Clara Chia Marti, the woman he was accused of cheating with.

“I keep doing what I want,” Piqué told El Pais during an interview via a translation. “The day I die, I will look back and hope I have always done what I wanted,” he added. “I want to be faithful to myself. I’m not going to spend money cleaning up my image.”

The people who know me are the things I love and care about, he continued. The rest doesn’t matter to me at all. I focus all of my power on giving to and being with my loved ones. I’m overjoyed. My life has changed, and I’ve learned how to maintain my love.

The father of two claimed that Milan, 10, and Sasha, 8, are his two most important children.

The 36-year-old football celebrity continued,” It is about protecting them.” ” That is the responsibility of all families. That is what I am concentrating on, and being a dad is my work.

Piqué made similar statements during a radio interview with a Spanish radio station on March 15: “People have a responsibility, especially those of us who are parents, to try to protect our children. I don’t want to say anything more, we each make the decisions that we think are best.”

He continued,” I don’t want to talk about it any longer.” ” I believe that ultimately, the only thing that matters is how well my kids are doing.”

Shakira recently said there’s a “special place in hell” for women who don’t support other women after Piqué posted a photo of himself with Marti on social media.

She said of moving past the infidelity scandal, saying she had to be” stronger than a lion” to endure it.” I feel complete because I feel like I can depend on myself and I have two kids who depends on me ,” she said.

Shakira stated that for that power to be genuine and not just a façade, it must be the outcome of great suffering. There are some things in life that don’t work out the way we want them to, so we must accept that discomfort and put up with the frustration.
