Throughout Shakira’s rise to fame, one thing has become evident – she is willing to go to great lengths to maintain her privacy and keep her personal life out of the public spotlight.
In 2022, the Colombian celebrity stole the spotlight in international headlines when news broke of her split from footballer Gerard Piqué. Various explanations circulated about the reasons behind their separation, including a specific account provided by Piqué’s brother, Roberto García.
García, previously in a relationship with Lucy Mebarak, Shakira’s sister, revealed to the Spanish media ‘Es Diario’ the reasons behind their separation. According to his account, financial difficulties played a major role in their breakup. He mentioned how they didn’t combine their finances and divided their family’s economy, leading to disagreements. Shakira had ambitious investment plans in construction companies in the Bahamas and Colombia, which created tensions between them.
The man mentioned that there were rumors circulating that Piqué requested financial assistance from Shakira for an investment, but her family turned down the request. Shakira reportedly offered a large sum of money to her ex-brother-in-law, Roberto García, in order to persuade him not to disclose any information as reported by journalist Kike Calleja from the show ‘Sálvame’.
