Shakira reportedly ended her more than ten-year relationship with Gerard Pique after learning that he cheated on her with another woman.

The couple, who met right here in South Africa during the 2010 FIFA World Cup, announced their seperation in a short statement released by the Colombian singer on social media. They share two sons, Sasha (7) and Milan (9).

“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,” the statement reads.

GERARD PIQUE AND SHAKIRA BREAK-UP: CHEATING RUMOURS EMERGE

According to the Spanish media outlet El Periodico, Shakira sent Gerard Pique packing after he was caught in bed with another woman. The couple has been living seperately after the Hips Don’t Lie hitmaker kicked him out of their marital home in Barcelona. Pique has reportedly been staying in a bachelor pad and has been living a “party lifestyle” since the break-up.

The Barcelona footballer has been frequenting night clubs with his team mates, often returning home in the wee hours.

For some, the cheating rumours come as no surprise as Shakira apparently hinted at there being trouble in paradise in her latest hit ‘Te Felicito’ with Rauw Alejandro. Lyrics of the song include:  “To complete you I broke into pieces; I was warned, but I didn’t listen; I realised that yours is false; it was the drop that overflowed the glass; Don’t tell me you’re sorry, that sounds sincere, but I know you well and I know you’re lying.”
