The high-profile breakup between Colombian pop star Shakira and FC Barcelona defender Gerard Pique was reportedly not due to alleged infidelity from the Spaniard, according to El Nacional.

According to the aforementioned source, however, the 35-year-old defender told Shakira that he no longer had feelings towards her. This happened back in January, a month after the couple visited Orlando in the United States for a vacation.

El Nacional said the following in their report regarding the couple's open relationship:

"She proposed couples therapy, but he refused because he didn't want to fix anything, he didn't want to continue with her."

Shakira tried to save the relationship, but Pique wanted to make the breakup official a lot earlier and continue life as a bachelor. According to reports, the 35-year-old defender's new partner is a 22-year-old blonde woman. The mystery woman's name begins with the letter "C." However, there is not much knowledge available regarding her at the time of writing.

According to MARCA, Shakira has complained to the police about harassment following her breakup with Gerard Pique. According to the source, the pop star is attracting unwanted attention following her split, with several fans sending her mails for marriage and trespassing on her property.

According to recent reports, the split between the two celebrities could involve a legal battle involving their children. The pair have two kids and neither of them are ready to part ways with them following their breakup.

The Colombian pop star wants to take their children on a two-month vacation to Miami. Gerard Pique, on the other hand, wants them to stay with him in Spain for the summer. He fears that the bond between his parents and children might be affected if the latter are away for a very long time. The 45-year-old pop star needs signed consent from her ex-partner to take the kids away on holiday.

Gerard Pique could also have a difficult time securing regular game time at Barcelona. According to 90 Min, the Catalan giants are expected to announce the signing of Andreas Christensen on a free transfer soon. This could drop the 35-year-old defender further down the pecking order under Xavi Hernandez.
