In the same year, the singer is included in the commission of the President of the United States, which deals with the problems of education of the Latin American population.

In 2012, the wedding of Shakira and Gerard Pique is planned for the summer.

Recently it became known that Shakira and Gerard Pique are no longer together. Shakira's husband is a famous football player who is ten years younger than the singer. The divorce of famous young people greatly upset their fans.

Shakira's husband photo

Shakira's ex-husband, Gerard Pique, whose photo can be seen below, is one of the most famous football players in Spain, he is a wonderful player who has been playing football all his life. His name is known, perhaps, to all football fans.

The footballer's biography begins in 1987, when he was born in Barcelona. His parents are very famous and wealthy people, so he always lived in abundance.
Since 2011, Gerard Pique has been in a relationship with the famous singer Shakira, but recently it became known that the couple had parted ways. In the marriage, Shakira and her husband had children - two sons, Milan and Sasha.

The reason for the divorce of the spouses

The divorce of the famous couple horrified many fans, so they immediately began to get information about what happened to the couple.

Shakira met her husband on the set of one of the singer's videos. It happened in 2010. From that moment on, their romance began. In 2013, the couple had their first child - their son Milan. At that time, Shakira's husband and child were her main assets. And two years later the second son, Sasha, was born. Despite such a strong relationship, the marriage of the lovers was not officially formalized, perhaps they simply did not consider it necessary. Although there were rumors several times that the footballer was going to propose, this never happened.

Shakira and her husband have been happily married for seven whole years. Their personal life was not hidden from journalists, so everyone knew about their relationship. The spouses were always very nice to each other, they even said on camera that the family is the best thing they have. In the photo, Shakira with her husband and children.

According to Shakira, Gerard is a wonderful husband and father. Despite the fact that the age of the football player is less than Shakira, they nevertheless got along well with each other and did not notice any obstacles.

Recently, the news reported that the singer Shakira had a very strong fight with her husband, due to the fact that he was jealous of her for the actor with whom she starred in the video. Afterwards, the journalists found out that Shakira even moved with her children to a country house and no longer lives with the football player.

Shakira herself does not say why she broke up with her husband. One of the reasons, according to many, was the constant and causeless jealousy of a football player, which simply drove the singer crazy. Gerard was against even the fact that she starred in videos with the presence of men. At first, the singer said that she was happy with everything and that she was okay with her husband's jealousy, according to her, he simply protects and protects what belongs to him.

Another reason was that Gerard Pique wanted to see in Shakira the real keeper of the hearth, but she refused to constantly stay at home and recently had a difficult touring schedule. The footballer explained his behavior by the fact that he just wants to be comfortable at home.

And finally, there may be a matter of age, because the singer is older than the young spouse, and this can lead to the fact that they simply have different views on life. In addition, Shakira has recovered in recent years, this might also not please her handsome husband.

A significant role, perhaps, is also played by the political component, since Gerard said that he would leave the national team if Spain would have a significant impact on Catalonia. Such a statement could affect not only the career of the footballer himself, but also influence the attitude of Spain towards Shakira's work.

Today, in 2018, it is not known what is happening in the couple's personal life, since they do not disclose this information. Shakira, on the other hand, tells reporters only about her professional activities.

Shakira is one of the most beautiful models, singer, actress, was born in Colombia on 02/02/1977.

Childhood

Her father was a big businessman, owner of restaurants and jewelry stores. She became his last and most beloved child, who was not denied anything. And with her mother, she was the first and only one. However, the girl was constantly surrounded by her paternal brothers and felt like the real center of the Universe.

The baby turned out to be versatile from birth. By the age of 4, she could read freely and knew the basics of mathematics. Local teachers were amazed at these results and considered the girl a genius. The mother was not surprised at this and predicted a bright future for the baby as a writer or artist.

At the age of 4, Shakira wrote her first poems, which she read to the public with pride and great pleasure. At the age of eight, she masterfully performed oriental dances, and at the age of 10 she became the winner of the children's beauty and talent contest. The girl understood that her vocation was a stage and did everything to become famous.

She even tried to enter the local choir to learn how to sing, but she was not accepted there, considering her voice too harsh. But Shakira continued to perform a lot at concerts and city events, at one of which she met one of the producers of Sonya Music, who offered her to sign a contract.

Career

The girl recorded her first solo album with the intriguing title "Magic" at the age of 14. At the same time, she first went to an international festival with her own song. She did not get the Grand Prix, but the girl's popularity and recognition began to grow rapidly.

A year later, Shakira's second album was released, but, according to the producers, it became almost a failure. Only one song was popular and that did not last long in the charts. Frustrated by the failure, Shakira gives all her strength to work on the third collection, deciding for herself that if it is not successful, she will end her singing career.

Meanwhile, she moves to the capital, where she tries herself as an actress, being invited to a role in the TV series "Oasis". The viewers like a beautiful and charming girl, and now she begins to communicate with journalists and give her own interviews.

And only in 1996 the long-awaited success, which brings her the third solo album "Bare Feet", falls upon her. It is rapidly selling out and gaining popularity not only in Colombia, but also abroad. The girl begins to actively tour and gathers full houses everywhere.

Realizing that she is capable of more, the singer decides that it is time to declare herself on the world music market and includes several songs in English in the fourth album. The calculation was successful, and soon they started talking about it all over the continent. For this album, the singer received her first Grammy. Since then, she has been recording most of her songs in English.

All in all, the singer's music library contains 10 solo albums. She has prepared and conducted 5 major touring tours, each of which totaled more than 10 countries around the world. The girl has proven herself well as an actress. Debuting in 2009, she continues to act to this day.

Personal life

Shakira's first romantic relationship was still in school, but they remained platonic. Then for a long time she had no time for her personal life, since she devoted all of herself to building a musical career. And only, being already popular, she started an affair with the son of the president of the republic.

With Antonio de la Rua

A year later, the couple planned a wedding, but it never took place. However, this relationship lasted almost ten years, since Antonio acted as one of the producers of Shakira.

The reason for the separation was Shakira's romance with the famous football player Gerard Piquet. For a long time, the relationship was hidden from journalists. And only a year after their start, they dared to appear in public for the first time.

With Gerard Pique

Now the couple lives together and brings up two young sons. But the official wedding has not yet taken place.
