Barcelona defender Gerard Pique has been pictured with a new woman just two months after his split from Hips Don’t Lie singer Shakira.
The couple, who had been together for 12 years, announced their split back in June after rumours circulated that the footballer was cheating on the popstar.
Gerard first met the singer in 2010 on the set of her music video for Waka Waka (This Time For Africa), which was the official theme tune for the World Cup that year.
The pair, who have two children together, confirmed the split via a statement as they asked people to “respect their privacy” for the “wellbeing of their children, who are their highest priority”.
Now, Gerard has been pictured moving on from the relationship with a new woman.
But who is Gerard Pique’s new girlfriend and did the footballer have a post-relationship pact with his ex Shakira?
Here’s everything you need to know.

The footballer is said to be dating student Clara Chia Marti.
The pair were pictured together recently as they shared a passionate kiss at the Summerfest Cerdanya festival in Catalonia.
Clara is a 23-year-old PR student who is thought to work for Gerard’s company Kosmos in the PR office.
A source told The Sun: “Gerard and Clara have been seeing each other for months. She is a student who also works for him in his office, organising events.

“They have been keeping quiet about their relationship but those around them all know what is happening.”
They added: “People have been helping him keep the romance hush-hush and have wiped Clara’s social media accounts so people can’t find photos of her. That alone makes his mates think he is actually quite serious about being with her.”
Shakira and Gerard’s post-relationship pact
Shakira, who is said to be furious about her ex going public with his new relationship, allegedly had a post-relationship pact with the footballer.
Spanish media outlet Socialite, who first published the images of Gerard and his new girlfriend, reported that a family confidant of Shakira said the popstar was “very angry to see the father of her children with [his] girlfriend in public”.
The website added that the former couple had an agreement in which “they could not appear in public with their partners during their first year of breakup”.

The images of Gerard and his new girlfriend are another blow for superstar Shakira as she is also currently embroiled in a legal drama where she has been accused of failing to pay her taxes.
The Waka Waka singer has allegedly failed to pay the Spanish government millions in taxes between 2012 and 2014, with Spanish prosecutors calling for the star to receive an eight-year prison sentence if she is found guilty.
Shakira has denied the claims and insisted she was living overseas for the financial period in question.
