Even though singerShakira of Colombia and Barcelona defenderGerard Piqueof Spain are no longer an item, their fanbase remained loyal for over a decade. The separationcame after 12 years together during which time they had two boys.

However, the couple announced their split in June of this year.“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,” they announced in a joint statement.
