Pop star Shakira, 45, and her partner, Spanish soccer player Gerard Piqué, 35, announced on Saturday that they are separating.
The couple was together for a little over 11 years after they began dating in 2011. They met when the Colombian singer was promoting her 2010 World Cup anthem “Waka Waka (This Time for Africa).” The soccer star ended up making an appearance in her music video for the song. Piqué helped lead his home country of Spain to a World Cup title that year.
Although never officially married, the couple shares two children together, Milan (9) and Sasha (7).
