Gerard Pique, the former Barcelona and Spain defender, has faced a series of challenges since his split from pop star Shakira last summer. The 36-year-old retired from professional football after slipping down the pecking order at the Nou Camp and has also encountered difficulties in his business ventures. Coincidentally, Shakira has been enjoying success, further fueling speculation about a potential curse.

Pique and Shakira had been in a relationship for 11 years and have two children together. After their split, Pique struggled both personally and professionally. His new partner, 24-year-old Clara Chia Marti, has been a subject of trolling by Shakira, who released a song called 'Shakira: Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 53', which was perceived as a 'diss track' towards Pique. The lyrics took jabs at Pique's choices and compared Chia Marti unfavorably to him. To add insult to injury, the Latin Grammy Awards where the song won Best Pop Song were hosted by Pique's former Spanish teammate, Sergio Ramos, who posed with Shakira for a picture.

Additionally, Pique faced embarrassment when he fell down a hole during the launch event of his Kings League Americas competition. The seven-a-side tournament saw initial success in Spain, but Pique's other business ventures have suffered setbacks. His implementation of a new model for the Kings League was met with resistance from traditional fans, and major sponsors withdrew their support. Attendance at the new format was low, and several prominent players declined to participate. Pique's company, Kosmos, reportedly lost tens of millions of dollars on the 2019 event alone.

Fans have begun speculating whether there is a curse surrounding Pique since his split with Shakira. During the 2022 World Cup, the Spanish team underperformed and suffered an embarrassing defeat to Morocco, leading a psychic to claim that Shakira had paid for a ritual targeting the Spanish team's performance. Furthermore, reports emerged that a doll resembling a witch was placed on Shakira's balcony facing Pique's mother's house, sparking fears of a curse.

Despite these alleged curses and struggles, Shakira continues to thrive both professionally and personally. With decades in the industry, numerous awards, and chart-topping hits, the 'Queen of Latin Music' remains at the top of her game. While Pique's business ventures falter, Shakira's success only seems to grow.

The alleged curse of Shakira on Pique has become a topic of intrigue among fans, who question whether there is any truth to it. As Pique navigates post-retirement life and business challenges, it remains to be seen if this curse will lift or persist. Meanwhile, Shakira remains resilient, focusing on her music and her family as she continues to be an icon in the music industry.
