Shakira ‘tried to get back with Gerard Pique twice’ before confirming split as Barcelona ace moves into £4m bachelor pad
BARCELONA star Gerard Pique has moved into his near £4million bachelor pad after reports claimed he TWICE snubbed Shakira’s attempts to get back together.
The couple, who have two children together, Milan, 9, and Sasha, 7, announced their separation last week after 11 years together.
The revelation came after reports that the footballer had strayed.
Pique, 35, has yet to release a statement on the separation, nor has he addressed his alleged cheating.
Meanwhile popstar Shakira, 45, has broken her social media silence – although she failed to address the breakup.
Despite the split, the pair were both seen watching their son's baseball game over the weekend.

However, fresh reports from Spain have provided a further update on their current situation.
According to 20minutos, the definitive decision to confirm the split was made after Shakira twice tried to mend the relationship.
They state the couple had grown apart for some time – but the Colombian had still held on to the hope of a reconciliation with the Spanish World Cup winner.
Journalist Lorena Vazquez told Ya es Mediodia: “Pique had wanted to separate for a while, but not Shakira.

“I can't say exactly what relationship Pique has with this girl, but I do know that it made Shakira feel bad.”
And have claimed that former Manchester United defender Pique has moved out of their family mansion in Esplugues de Llobregat and back into his luxury bachelor pad.
They state that he bought the property over a decade ago before he met Shakira and is based on the sixth floor of a plush building in the centre of Barcelona.
Vanity Fair states that the apartment, which boasts three floors, a terrace and a swimming pool, has been frequented previously by ex-Barcelona team-mate Cesc Fabresgas and his wife Daniella Semaan, and is worth around £3.85m.
