They were spotted in the Czech Republic watching their son Milan, 8, play in an international baseball tournament.

Shakira smiled happily while chatting to the youngsters, while Barcelona star Pique was snapped walking with his head down.

Sources told El Periodico that relations between the pair are strained, but they are trying to stay friends for the sake of their children.
