Ex-Barcelona star, Gerard Pique, 'splits' from 26-year-old lady he dumped Shakira for

Gerard Pique and his girlfriend Clara Chia have reportedly broken up after three years together.  

The former Spain and Barcelona star, who retired from football in 2022, started dating Clara after ending a 10-year relationship with Shakira, with whom he shares two children. 

According to the Spanish TV show Vamos a ver (Let's See), reported via Marca, journalist Adriana Dorronsoro confirmed that Pique and Chia have split up. 

Dorronoro went on to say the cause of the split is not yet known, but that she has heard that third parties may be involved. 

Chia, 26, is 12 years younger than Pique and Dorronoro said: 'I have confirmation that Gerard Piqué and Clara Chía have broken up and I am investigating a little into the reasons, because I am hearing from third parties, although it is still not very clear.'

She said the source of the information was 'very close to the couple' and did not confirm whether Pique being seen recently in Miami with a redheaded woman was the cause of the breakup. 

Chia reportedly works for a sports entertainment production company, and the couple previously posted numerous pictures together on social media. 

Pique divides his life between Barcelona and Miam,i where his children live.

Spanish press also report than the 'double life' was a point of contention in his relationship. 

In June 2022 amid rumours of him cheating after 11 years and two children together (Milan, 11 and Sasha, nine), Shakira announced she and Pique were breaking up.
