One thing led to another, and the two were officially a couple by the following year.
Let’s take a deeper look at the relationship between Shakira and Gerard Pique.
And then someone decided to introduce us."
Most notably, the group attempted to learn to shake their hips a la Shakira (viaDaily Mail).
I could have another 9 months like this!
The pair’s son, Milan Pique Mebarak, was born on January 22, 2013.
Just like his father, baby Milan became a member of FC Barcelona at birth" (viaPeople).
Milan weighed in at 6 pounds and 6 ounces and was born in Barcelona, Spain.
Thank you all for your well wishes!"
Like older brother Milan, Sasha was also born in Barcelona, Spain.
Shakira and Pique also issued a statement explaining the reasoning behind the name choice for their second-born.
“Some of [the songs] are like pages from my journal,” she said.
“They’re so descriptive and narrative of my own stories … love stories.”

Shakira appeared to completely support his decision.
It was my identity.
So when I couldn’t sing, that was unbearable.
There were times I couldn’t even get out of bed I was so depressed."
As she put it, she struggled to maintain any positivity.
“I was so pessimistic.
I was a bitter person to be around.
Gerard saw the worst of me” (via The Guardian).
Ultimately, the singer regained her voice and returned to the career she loves so much.
As she said, “His lover, his girlfriend.
It’s like a little forbidden fruit, you know?
I wanna keep him on his toes.
I want him to think that anything’s possible depending on behavior.”
As she put it, “I torture my poor husband.
Well, he’s not really my …
I don’t know what to call him!”
He’s tired of waiting up," she said.
“Cause Colombian time is not the same as Catalonian time, Spanish time.”
Shakira also chalked her boyfriend’s punctuality up to his career as a professional athlete.
They issued a short and pointed statement, saying that “we regret to confirm that we are separating.
We ask for privacy at this moment for the well-being of our children, who are our maximum priority.
Thank you in advance for your understanding and respect” (viaPeople).
As she put it, “I haven’t seen it, I don’t live in Spain.
I still don’t know anything” (viaEl Mundo).
Lucy isn’t the only Mebarak sibling who has been contacted about Shakira and Pique’s separation.
She is going through a separation" (viaTuttosport).
The news broke after another woman shared a photo of Pique and his unknown companion.
As she wrote on social media, “Listen to me you loser @3gerardpique.
Probably most girls at this party want to xxxx you.
I see you and immediately think of my son.
I was clear with you.
I asked you to say hello to my son.
You said ‘no.'”
Zytomierska went on to add that she didn’t know who the woman in the photograph was.
She ultimately made her social media profiles private after the post garnered international attention.
It seems that the two are currently locked in a custody battle.
