New details have emerged in the crisis that led to the separation of Barcelona defender Gerard Pique from Colombian singer Shakira.
After allegations that Pique had an affair with another woman who appeared with him in a photo at a party, it was confirmed that Pique had severed his relationship with his new girlfriend, a waitress, with whom he was believed to have been recently engaged, according to the Spanish sports newspaper Marca.
It was also revealed that the Barcelona player is currently seeking to reach an agreement with Shakira, to establish a common ground that determines the shape of the relationship between them in the next stage, especially with regard to the future of their two children.

It turns out that the main dispute between them is the place of residence, as Pique wants Shakira to stay with their two children in Barcelona, while the singer plans to leave for the United States with their two sons.
The relationship between Pique and Shakira was among the most famous relationships that brought together sports and art stars globally, and the news of their separation was a great shock among celebrities.
The separation was announced after a relationship that lasted more than 11 years and resulted in two children.
Weeks ago, Pique was photographed with another woman he believes to be his new girlfriend, during a party in Stockholm.
Marca also reported that Shakira’s brother Tonino was one of the first people to notice that Pique's behaviour wasn't quite right given the seriousness of their relationship, and he was less than impressed by the footballer's habits of spending nights out and living a life completely removed from his long-term partner.
