Gerard Pique and Shakira were one of the most famous couples in sports history.

Shakira and Pique met in 2010 as the 45-year-old singer filmed the music video for Waka Waka, the pair fell in love and had sons Milan, nine, and seven-year-old Sasha.

However, following the recent scandal, the pair issued a joint statement in June confirming they had indeed ended their long-term relationship, stating that their children remained their ‘highest priority.

Both superstars have had quite difficult spells following their split, with the Barcelona star’s future up for speculation amid the club’s financial issues, while also being a subject of a wage cut.

However, there now appears to be more heartbreak for Shakira, with reports claiming that her ex has now moved on with a young woman who also works for him.

According to The Sun, the Barcelona star has been dating 23-year-old PR student Clara ‘for months’, with the pair believed to have met while she worked at his production company – Kosmos.

According to a source close to the couple, the pair have been secretly seeing each other for months now, having met at his company.

‘Gerard and Clara have been seeing each other for months.

‘She is a student who also works for him in his office, organizing events.’ the source revealed.

The source adds that the footballer and the student have ‘keeping quiet about their relationship but those around them all know what is happening.’

People close to the pair have done a good job of keeping their relationship private, even going as far as wiping Clara’s social media accounts ‘so people can’t find photos of her.’

The source also added that this action alone has made Pique’s friends believe that he is ‘quite serious about being with her.’

Grammy-winner Shakira has still not spoken publicly about their split, apart from the joint statement the pair issued in June.

However, she is reported to be considering a move to Florida, the USA with her two sons in the meantime.
