Gerard Pique had to leave his kids at home and only brought his girlfriend Clara Chia Marti to his brother’s wedding because his ex-girlfriend Shakira wouldn’t let him bring his kids.

Because the PR student was going to be at the wedding, the Waka Waka singer wouldn’t let her boys, Sasha and Milan, go. Marc Pique is Gerard’s brother and their uncle.

Now, it is said that the ex-Barcelona player did everything he could to come to a deal with Shakira, but she was adamant that he had to choose between their kids and Clara.

When Gerard saw that no one was listening to him, he took his new girlfriend to the wedding and left his boys at home.

Marca Magazine said that Shakira made it clear on El programa de Ana Rosa that she won’t let Clara near her kids because she doesn’t want to risk their safety for a girl who may only be in their father’s life for a short time.

“Pique made every effort to reach an agreement with Shakira so that she would allow it, but the problem is that she informed him that the agreement states that his current partner unless it is agreed upon by both parties, cannot share the same space with the children,” journalist Pepe del Real said.

“In fact, on this occasion, when Pique arrived with the children, his current partner Clara Chia moved to her parent’s house. Instead of sharing the same house, she stayed at her parent’s place,” he said.

The journalist said that, according to a quote from the former athlete, Pique said, “If [Shakira] leaves the children with me, I cannot bring my current partner.”
