Latin superstar Shakira's split with longtime beau Gerard Pique was apparently catalyzed by strawberry jam, according to various reports.
The duo announced their uncoupling in June 2022, amidst rumors that the latter cheated on her with Clara Chia Marti.
Reportedly, the Hips Don't Lie singer suspected her partner's infidelity after returning to their family home to find that some strawberry jam had been eaten from the refrigerator. Allegedly, she is the only member of the household who ate this jam. Hence, for the Colombian singer, the proof was in the pudding, or jam in this case.
A music video for Shakira's song Te Felicito with Puerto-Rican singer Rauw Alejandro, released in April 2022, shows the former opening a refrigerator door to find Alejandro's head, surrounded by strawberries and their products. Fans at the time speculated that the scene was a hint at how the truth came out.
Shakira and Pique share two sons, Milan (9) and Sasha (7) together. The former Barcelona footballer has been openly dating Clara Chia Marti since the split.
