Gerard Piqué is a football icon, known as much for his defensive skills as he is for his relationship with the pop sensation, Shakira. The two of them represented the best of both worlds and came together to set relationship goals for many.
Unfortunately, their story did not get a fairytale ending, as the couple went their separate ways after 11 years. It came down to the footballer’s infidelity, and the pop star has received overwhelming support from her fans and colleagues alike. Meanwhile, the Spaniard has been ridiculed and jeered at, and even Ozuna took a jab at him recently.

Support still pouring in for Shakira years after her breakup with Gerard Piqué
Shakira and Gerard Piqué are both remarkable in their respective fields. The singer has won numerous awards and accolades, including 3 Grammys. The footballer, on the other hand, won the FIFA World Cup with Spain in 2010 and several trophies with his club, FC Barcelona.
It was the official song of the 2010 World Cup, Waka Waka, that brought them together after they met backstage while shooting for its music video. The singer did not know him at the time but found him cute, and the center-back took a chance on Shakira after lifting the World Cup.

What followed was a whirlwind romance. They were together for over a decade before they announced their separation in 2022.
Since the news of their split surfaced, support has poured in for the Hips Don’t Lie singer. It doubled once the reason came to light—that Piqué had cheated on her.

It has been two years since the incident came to light. Both parties have eventually moved on from the episode; at least the footballer has. The FC Barcelona star is now dating Clara Chia Marti. The singer, on the other hand, does not harbor hope of finding love again.
Shakira finds support from her colleague, Ozuna
The Whenever, Wherever star has garnered support from her fans and colleagues alike, which has helped her through the dark times in her life. Ozuna, who starred in the music video for Monotonía, alongside the pop singer, was the latest to extend his support to her.
He took to social media to share a photo of himself with the singer and took a jab at the Barcelona player in the caption. “I don’t know what Piqué was thinking. Look at this goddess,” he wrote.
Fans supported the artist’s sentiments, understandably. Users also flocked to the comments to bash the footballer.
He's so real for that

The singer is one of the most beloved stars globally, and the support she still receives is a testament to that. Hopefully, the Latina will take heart from it.
