Since becoming famous, Shakira has shown a strong commitment to protecting her personal life from the constant scrutiny of the public.
In 2022, everyone was talking about the Colombian superstar who captured worldwide attention with her separation from football sensation Gerard Piqué. Speculations ran wild about the cause of their split, with even Piqué’s brother, Roberto García, chiming in with his own theories.
García, who used to be in a relationship with Lucy Mebarak, Shakira’s sister, opened up to a Spanish media outlet ‘Es Diario’ regarding the reasons for their split. He shared that financial troubles were a key factor in their relationship coming to an end. It was revealed that Shakira and Lucy didn’t merge their finances, leading to discrepancies in their family’s financial situation. Ultimately, disagreements arose when Shakira expressed her interest in investing in construction businesses in the Bahamas and Colombia.
It was reported that Piqué had approached Shakira for financial support in a business venture, but her family turned down the request. There were rumors that Shakira was open to providing a sizable amount to her ex-brother-in-law. According to journalist Kike Calleja from ‘Sálvame’, Shakira was able to convince Roberto García to keep quiet about a certain matter by offering him a substantial sum of cash.
Curious to learn more about the details of Shakira and Piqué’s breakup, and how they navigated their separation? The individual who sought to spill the beans on their situation was cleverly silenced by the pop star to safeguard her personal life and loved ones.
The journalist shared that he had the responsibility of handing over the documents that linked Shakira and her family to a legal case, stirring discussions and supporting his earlier allegations. In the end, Calleja disclosed that the arrangement had been made several years ago in the Canary Islands. Although many specifics are still vague, it is confirmed that Shakira did not personally attend to finalize the deal.
