Gerard Pique Regretted Cheating on Shakira [RUMOR]
Spanish football legend Gerard Pique reportedly may have tried to get back with Shakira after he regretted cheating on her.
In the Colombian pop star's new song "BZRP Music Sessions #53," which many considered a diss track targeting her ex-boyfriend, Shakira hinted that Pique tried to win her back, singing this line, "I'm not coming back to you, not even if you cry or beg me."
According to Marca, the line may or may not be referring to an alleged real-life attempt by Pique to reconcile. However, Univision journalist Jordi Martin's report added further fuel to this rumor.
Martin said sources close to Shakira have said it was Pique who decided to end the relationship in April 2022.
However, a month after leaving, he tried to convince Shakira to forget everything that had happened and get back to normal.
"Pique regretted leaving Shakira and decided to try again," the journalist said in his report.
However, it seemed that Shakira did not agree to this, and the former FC Barcelona star set off to begin his new life with Clara Chia Marti.
To this day, Pique is still dating Marti, the woman he reportedly cheated on Shakira with.

Casio Did Not Tweet About Shakira's Diss Song
While Casio enjoyed getting millions in value due to the free advertising, it also sparked a lot of fake news, particularly from parody accounts on Twitter.
A tweet from "Casio Official" reads, "Shakira, you may not be a Rolex, but clearly, our customers are loyal to us."
It also defended Casio's watches by saying that their battery life lasted longer than her relationship with Gerard Pique.
However, an official Spanish-language Casio Twitter account refuted these tweets saying that these are false accounts.
