It appears the whirlwind romance between former Spanish football icon Gerard Piqué and Clara Chia Marti has reportedly come to an end after approximately three years.
This development, which follows Piqué’s highly publicized split from global music superstar Shakira in 2022, has once again thrust his personal life into the media spotlight. Piqué, who concluded his illustrious career with FC Barcelona in 2022, reportedly began his relationship with Chia shortly after his decade-long partnership with Shakira dissolved, a relationship that produced two children, Milan and Sasha.
The news of this alleged breakup surfaced on the Spanish television program “Vamos a ver” (Let’s See), as reported by the prominent Spanish sports news outlet Marca. According to the show’s journalist, Adriana Dorronsoro, sources have confirmed the separation between Piqué and Chia. While the precise reasons behind this reported split remain unclear, Dorronsoro indicated that her inquiries suggest the potential involvement of other individuals.
Clara Chia Marti, who is 26 years old – twelve years Piqué’s junior – has maintained a relatively lower public profile compared to her former partner and his ex-wife. Dorronsoro stated, “I have confirmation that Gerard Piqué and Clara Chía have broken up, and I am investigating a little into the reasons, because I am hearing from third parties, although it is still not very clear.” She emphasized the credibility of her source, describing them as “very close to the couple.
Interestingly, Dorronsoro refrained from directly linking the reported breakup to recent sightings of Piqué in Miami accompanied by a woman with red hair. Piqué’s life is currently divided between Barcelona, where he has strong ties and business ventures, and Miami, the current residence of his two children with Shakira.
Adding another layer of complexity to the narrative, Spanish media outlets have previously suggested that Piqué’s “double life” – presumably alluding to his commitments and time spent in different locations – had become a point of contention within his relationship with Chia. This speculation hints at the potential challenges of maintaining a relationship across geographical distances and differing lifestyles.
The backdrop to this reported separation is, of course, Piqué’s acrimonious split from Shakira in June 2022. The Colombian singer announced their separation amidst swirling rumors of infidelity on Piqué’s part, bringing an end to their eleven-year relationship and co-parenting journey with their two sons, Milan, now eleven, and Sasha, now nine. The breakup between Shakira and Piqué was highly publicized and emotionally charged, with Shakira subsequently releasing several songs that alluded to the circumstances of their split, further fueling public interest in their personal lives.
Clara Chia Marti reportedly works for a sports entertainment production company, adding another dimension to her connection with Piqué, given his background in professional football and his ongoing involvement in various business ventures within the sports and entertainment industries. The couple had previously shared numerous photographs of themselves together on social media platforms, offering glimpses into their relationship. However, these public displays of affection have seemingly ceased, further fueling speculation about the state of their relationship in recent times.
As Adriana Dorronsoro continues her investigation into the precise reasons for the reported breakup, the public and media alike will undoubtedly be keen to learn more about the circumstances surrounding the end of Gerard Piqué and Clara Chia Marti’s relationship and the potential involvement of any “third parties.” This latest development adds another chapter to the ongoing saga of Piqué’s personal life, which has remained a subject of intense scrutiny since his separation from Shakira.
