Shakira and Piqué have their birthday today, but there are no plans for any family celebration with their children

Namesakes for more than a decade, February 2 is an incredible coincidence for the world of show business:

and

have their birthday on that day .

It is understood?

The former couple share a birthday.

The difference is that Shakira was born ten years earlier.

When she was already modulating, the future soccer player was having his diapers changed.

In 1997, at the age of ten, the footballer started in the lower divisions of Barca, a club where he played until his retirement.

In '97, a young girl named Shakira performed successfully at the Viña del Mar Festival. 

At that time, the interpreter was 20 years old and was in full promotion of her work on the album

.

ten years apart

Shakira and Gerard were born

, but ten years apart: the Colombian in 1977, and the former Barcelona soccer player in 1987.

The couple's relationship reached 12 years together, and together they extinguished candles for more than a decade.

and under the cloak of the sung, spiteful and hitera denunciation of the little song that has been drilling our heads for about a month.

Right now, the singer-songwriter/choreographer/dancer and record producer will be turning 46 agile, while her ex will blow out 36 candles. 

They met in 2010. Before the news was an open secret during the World Cup in South Africa, both met in Madrid, where they would have been intimate for the first time, as they later acknowledged in various interviews.

The World Cup of that year was almost inevitable for romance: Piqué was one of the great protagonists of the Spanish soccer team that kissed the Cup, while the most famous Colombian took charge of putting on the incidental music of the championship with (in )forgettable

“It all started when we were in South Africa and I wrote to him.

She was there because she sang at the opening ceremony.

I remember that I asked him how the weather was", Piqué smiled when remembering the anecdote.

Going back exactly ten years, 2013 was special for both of them: Shakira and Piqué received the best gift of their lives in the form of a child, with the arrival of Milan Piqué in the world, a few days before their joint birthday, on January 22.

In 2013, with the birth of their first child, Shakira and Piqué left behind the curses due to the decade difference: she was 36 years old;

The 26.

On that occasion, Shakira and Piqué celebrated their birthday with a private party at their home in Barcelona.

Family and friends of the couple and not much else in an evening marked by the recent arrival of little Milan.

While this was happening, hundreds of thousands of fans of the couple congratulated them on the networks.

"Happy Birthday Shakira" was more than "Happy Birthday Gerard" and became a trending topic on Twitter.

Throughout their media relationship, the super couple was surrounded by impact and loud posts.

The last interesting images prior to the shipwreck date from 2021, a pandemic year in which they strove to show their attachment through an Instagram post on December 31.

That year, Shakira -if her publications are reviewed- shared countless moments with the children she has with Piqué, Milan and Sasha, but not so much with the former soccer player.

no party plans

Now, little is known about Piqué's birthday plans for this 2023. Shakira, on the other hand, plans to publish a new song with Karol G, a promise that sounds like a threat and has not yet been ratified.

A few days ago, Karol G -also Colombian- went to an NBA game with a Sorora shirt that went viral on networks: "It was big on you", could be read on the compact front of the trapera.

The legend was a clear allusion to his support for Shakira.

The gossip assures that the new opus of Shakira and Karol G will come out just on the day of their birthday to ruin Piqué's cake.

Another song of spite and revenge?!

We will see.

It is known: Shakira made a rash with her new single produced by the DJ and composer Bizarrap.

The spite made a hit (the proclaimed session #53) left no doubt: in its first 24 hours on YouTube, the video had 64 million views, a number that no song in Spanish had achieved.

Such a record dethroned

, by Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee.

The Colombian launched her song with explicit mentions of Piqué and her current partner, the pretty Clara Chía.

The song topped all the charts and even Piqué himself ironically used the lyrics to promote his new Twitch show, The Kings League, arriving at the studio in a Twingo and changing his usual watch for a Casio.

"I'm worth two out of 22 / You traded a Ferrari for a Twingo / You traded a Rolex for a Casio."
