Gerard Pique breaks silence on controversial split from Shakira
After months of staying quiet, Pique has decided to address the rumors surrounding his split from Shakira. During his conversation with broadcaster Jordi Baste, Pique expressed his frustration with the misinformation circulating about their separation.
He emphasized that people only know a fraction of what actually occurred. He added that much of the information circulating is also inaccurate.
Pique acknowledged that if he had "given importance to everything that was said" about him, he would have found himself consumed by negativity.
He stated, "The only way to get out of all this alive is simply ignore everything."
In the aftermath of the split, Pique has resolved to keep his personal life private, allowing him to maintain a sense of normalcy amidst the media frenzy.
Pique recognizes that the events following his separation from Shakira were akin to "a circus."
However, he acknowledges that this is part of being a public figure and understands the inherent nature of the show business.
