Why the crowed booed Gerard Pique

The romantic union between popular musician Shakira and Gerard Pique came to an end after the Barcelona legend was allegedly caught cheating.

The couple has been leading separate lives for quite a while now. They have been together since 2010 and their union was blessed with two children, Milan and Sasha.

According to Marca, Shakira has offered to take full responsibility of the couple’s kids as she plans to take them to Miami afterwards.

The singer has also proposed to absorb Pique from any financial responsibilities towards the children as she would even pay for him to travel first class to Miami five times per year to visit.
