In 1997, when he was just 10 years old, Gerard began to take his first steps in the lower divisions of Barca, a club in which he still plays. By then, Shakira was already quite a figure.
While the then anonymous teenager dreamed of debuting in the first team, in the other corner of the world she, already in her twenties, edited Where are the thieves?, her second studio album, her catapult to fame. He sold more than 10 million records all over the world and songs like “Tú”, “Ciega, sordomuda”, “Inevitable” and “Ojos Así” quickly climbed -and positioned themselves very high- in the different music rankings.
In 2010 the World Cup was played in South Africa, with the defender as a starter in the champion team. The singer had been summoned to compose the official theme of the competition. The song was titled “Waka Waka” and several soccer players participated in the video clip, including Piqué. Those who were on the set say that the crush was immediate.
On June 11 they crossed paths at the opening ceremony. He knew that this might be his last chance that he had to get close to her. Some time later, with the relationship established, Piqué would give details about those days: “It all started when we were in South Africa and I wrote to him. She was there because she sang at the opening ceremony. I remember asking him how the weather was.”
However, in 2010 the romance did not begin, beyond the fact that they exchanged phone numbers and began to talk. At least that’s what they say, because at that time the Colombian was still in a relationship with Antonio De la Rúa. There was even another meeting at a recital in Madrid to which they arrived separately. He saw her and invited her to have a mojito. That would have been the start of everything.
Today the relationship remains strong, both are parents of Milan, born in 2012 and Sasha in 2015 and beyond the occasional crisis rumor, they managed to overcome and make up one of the most established couples among all celebrities.
