Shakira’s devoted fan base recently voiced their opinions when Gerard Piqué, the former footballer and Shakira’s ex-partner, shared a new photo on Instagram featuring his girlfriend, Clara Chía Martí. Instead of showering the couple with congratulations, Shakira’s fans flooded the comment section with gifs and images of the beloved Colombian singer.

The comments on the photo, which was captioned with a heart emoji, were mixed, with some expressing disappointment and others openly mocking Piqué. Many believed that his decision to move on so quickly after his split from Shakira was a sign of disloyalty and betrayal. The comments section became a battleground of emotions as fans defended their idol and criticised Piqué’s actions.

One fan commented “You’ll always be shakira’s ex,” whilst another wrote, “Reading the comments is like watching Netflix 🍿🤓🍿.”

Piqué and Shakira announced their separation in June of 2022, bringing an end to their 11-year relationship. Their split came as a shock to many, as they had been one of the most celebrated celebrity couples who also have two children together.

Following the separation, Piqué found love with Clara Chia Marti, a 23-year-old public relations student from Spain. Clara works at Kosmos, Piqué’s sports and entertainment production company, where she assists with event organizing. It is believed that their paths crossed in a professional capacity, leading to a blossoming romantic relationship.

The news of Piqué’s new relationship with Clara ignited a flurry of discussions and speculations among fans. While some admirers of Shakira supported her ex-partner’s pursuit of happiness, others couldn’t help but express their disappointment and concern for the beloved singer.
