Rumours began to spread as Shakira’s mode of posting on social media changed recently after she stopped sharing anything that has to Pique on Instagram.

On Mother’s Day, her post didn’t feature him despite that they have two sons together Sasha, 7, and Milan, 9.

She shared a photo of her kids on Mother’s day and never mentioned the footballer in the caption.

Her cryptic note reads:

“With one kiss they can cure it all and make it worth your while to keep fighting for them.”

Fans have even linked the lyrics in Shakira’s latest single Te Felicito with Rauw Alejandro with the situation happening in her home.

The song includes lines like:

“To complete you, I broke into pieces. They warned me, but I didn't listen.”

And, then it went like this:

“Don't tell me you're sorry. That seems sincere but I know you well and I know you lie.”

They have been together for 12 years having met at the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa. She sang the tournament theme song ‘Waka Waka' which became a global rage.

Shakira recently showered praises on Pique

Meanwhile, Sports Brief earlier reported that Colombian singer and songwriter Shakira raved about the performance of Gerard Pique in the El Classico.

Shakira waxed lyrical about the lanky central defender for his showstopping performance against Real Madrid.

Pique rolled back the years when he partnered Eric Garcia in defence for Barcelona to put up a defensive masterclass in the Blaugrana's heavy win over Real Madrid at the famous Bernabeu.
