Gerard Piqué is proving he's a hands-on dad, even if he's not exactly radiating joy about it. The retired Spanish footballer was spotted in a Miami soccer practice kicking the ball around with his sons, Sasha and Milan, while their mom Shakira is busy lighting up stages on her world tour. 

Despite showing off some classic soccer skills, Piqué barely cracked a smile during the family outing.

According to reports, Piqué recently relocated to Miami to be closer to his kids while Shakira tours. His girlfriend, Clara Chia, has reportedly been "devastated" about the sudden shift. "She arrived devastated at Kosmos, the company where she works," said Martin in Spanish. "If I were Clara Chia, I would be worried." Martin said that the paparazzi who sent her the images of Clara Chia told him that she looked "very very sad." 

 "I'm not happy to see Clara Chia in this state, but we have to show these exclusive images," he said. "Shakira called Gerard Pique and said: 'Gerard, I need you to come to Miami and stay with the kids," said Martin. "It was a positive reaction from his part. He said, 'Wow, this is a gift that life has given me, nothing would make me happier than spending more time with my kids,' so he goes and packs his bags and leaves for Miami. He leaves alone, without Clara Chia."

Piqué feels 'attacked' during Shakira's Tour

According to Jordi Martín from "El Gordo y la Flaca," the retired athlete is not thrilled with how Shakira is pouring her heart out on stage, and throwing some not-so-subtle shade. According to the gossip guru, they're feeling the heat and aren't thrilled about being the subjects of Shakira's lyrical darts. 

Reportedly, Piqué confronted Shakira, asking her to dial down the disses for the sake of their co-parenting relationship. According to Jordi, it got so tense that Shakira ended up in the hospital due to stress from their argument.

 Piqué has been spotted in Miami, hanging out with their kids, Milan and Sasha. He's been chilling in a hotel, and is reportedly house hunting in a swanky Miami neighborhood.

Will this Saga End

It's been nearly three years since Shakira and Piqué called it quits, but their drama still feels fresh. After seven years without a solo tour, Shakira returned to the stage for her highly anticipated "Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran" world tour at Rio de Janeiro's Nilton Santos Stadium. "The reflection in the mirror shows me a woman who has given her all in every rehearsal, every chord, every step," she wrote ahead of the first night. "I know perfection doesn't exist, but tonight, I will give myself to you just as I am—with a voice sharpened by experience and skin marked by every battle won and lost."

Shakira addressed her challenges, speaking in Portuguese about resilience. "We women, after every fall, rise stronger and tougher. If we want to cry, we cry. And if we don't, we hustle," she declared.

A viral moment shows fans insulting Gerard Piqué. She responded with a knowing smirk, cupping her ear to encourage even louder cheers.
