Gerard Pique's mom reportedly helped the Spanish football legend hide his affair with Clara Chia Marti from Shakira.

According to The Sun, sources said Pique's mom Montserrat Bernabeu knew that her son was cheating on Shakira.

El Popular reported that Bernabeu even helped Pique cover up the affair, which is one of the reasons why the Colombian pop star did not like her ex-boyfriend's mother.

"It's all because when the relationship between Piqué and Clara Chia began, they took refuge in a house that Piqué's parents have in Cabrils, Spain," Spanish journalist Laura Fa claimed.

While Shakira was crying on Pique's mom's shoulder, Fa noted that Bernabéu "was an accomplice in hiding this new relationship," which really hurt Shakira.

Spanish media also reported that someone close to the Pique-Mebarak family witnessed a physical fight between Shakira and Pique's mom.

The witness said, as the two had a serious argument, "Bernabeu punched Shakira in the face in front of Gerard and his children." However, this incident remained a rumor as no one from both camps has verified that it happened.

These rumors came after the former Manchester United and Barcelona star recently made a remark that he was "very happy" after his split with Shakira and has since moved on with his new girlfriend, Clara Chia.

He also said he was not concerned about his public image. Gerard Pique and Shakira ended their 11-year relationship last June before he went official with his Clara Chia.

Before their bitter breakup, Shakira allegedly hired a private investigator to spy on her ex and confirm her suspicions.

The detective frequently spotted the soccer star hanging out at the club where Clara Chia worked. Shakira first became suspicious after checking her refrigerator at their five-story Barcelona home.

The Colombian singer allegedly came home to find that her strawberry jam, which Pique did not like, had been eaten.

She said she and her husband had made sacrifices for Shakira, adding that they were "open for dialogue" with her. She noted that her relationship with her grandchildren was already fractured.
