After rumours of Gerard Piqué’s alleged cheating scandal got out, the world went into a frenzy. Soon after, former partner Shakira dropped Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 53 confirming the story. What ensued was absolute chaos of back and forth between the former couple. Shakira did not hesitate from dissing Pique with lyrics like, “You traded a Ferrari for a Twingo, you traded a Rolex for a Casio.” From a jar of jam as proof of cheating to becoming the official ambassador for Casio, the entire spectacle is one for the history books. So, are Gerard Piqué and Clara Chia Marti still together after going through all the media scrutiny? Well, they seem to be braving all the havoc and going strong, as Pique revealed in a recent interview with a Spanish newspaper.

The now 24-year-old was spotted by eagle-eyed fans celebrating a birthday getaway recently in Abu Dhabi alongside her former Spanish footballer boyfriend, Piqué. While the paparazzi did not spot them, the fans grabbed a few clicks and videos of their trip together.

In the video, Clara is seen wearing a black kaftan at the poolside of a hotel, walking hand in hand with Piqué while holding two roses in the other.

In a recent interview, the 36-year-old said he is “very happy”, alluding to going public with his relationship this January and his separation from the Colombian singer last year. Piqué recently refused to discuss Shakira on a Spanish radio station, sharing that he “didn’t feel like it,” however he told newspaper El Pais that “each parent has the responsibility to try to do the best for their children… It’s about protecting them. That’s the work of all parents with their children. That’s what I’m focused on and that’s my job as a father.”

The ex-footballer also declared that he did not care about his public image, “I’m not going to spend money on cleaning up my image. The people I worry about and love are the ones that know me. I don’t care about the rest.” Can we assume that Clara is one of the people he worries about and loves?

“I channel my energy into being with my people and giving them what I have. I am very happy,” he also shared.

Since the split, Shakira moved to Miami along with their kids, ten-year-old Milan and eight-year-old Sasha. She is also set to receive Billboard’s Latin Woman of the Year award on May 7th as a tribute to her long and impressive career in Latin music at the first-ever Latin Women In Music celebrations.
