Despite the drama, Shakira and Piqué might be trying to control the narrative and stay on good terms for the sake of their sons Shasha and Milan. The former couple is reportedly working things out to avoid a custody battle in court.

As reported by Vanitatis, Piqué has always wanted to protect his and his family’s privacy. “He doesn’t want the information to be leaking, and there are a lot of things out there that are not true,” an insider told the publication. “Piqué projects an image that he doesn’t care what people say about him, be he does care. It affects him a lot, and he’s having a hard time. We have seen him cry. He feels passion for his children and would be able to give up anything as long as they don’t have a bad time. He loves to make plans with them.”

While they figure things out, Gerard Piqué is continuing with his life after the split. The soccer player recently went public with his new girl, 23-year-old Clara Chía Martí. The new couple was seen at the Summerfest Cerdanya very affectionate.

Gerard and Clara were also spotted together in June but were not linked until now. According to Marca, the athlete and Chía Martí might have met at Kosmos, Piqué’s company where she works in Public Relations. The publication reported she is still studying.
