Footballer Gerard Pique has publicly talked about his split with singer Shakira for the first time. In a new interview, Gerard refused to comment on how the separation affected him but spoke about the responsibility of his children – Milan and Sasha.
As quoted by Billboard, Gerard told El Pais, ‘Everyone has their responsibility to do what’s best for their kids. It’s about protecting them. That’s the job of all parents with their kids. That’s what I’m focused on and that’s my role as a father.’
Talking about his relationship with Clara Chia Marti and the media, he said, ‘The problem is how people perceive things or how the press packages it. I’m still doing what I want. I want to be faithful to myself. I’m not gonna waste money on cleaning up my image. The people that I love and worry about are the people that know me. The rest, I don’t care. I’m putting my energy on the people that are closest to me and giving them what I have. I’m very happy. There’s been changes in my life and I’ve known how to preserve that happiness.’
Shakira and Gerard were together for over a decade but they didn't get married. They parted ways last year. In January this year, Gerard went Instagram-official with Clara Chia Marti. The duo reportedly started dating while he was still with Shakira.
