Shakira holds up Barcelona shirt as she poses with staff from Pique's ex-club

SHAKIRA has left fans intrigued as she held up a Barcelona shirt while posing with staff from her ex Gerard Pique's former club.

It comes more than one year after the Colombian superstar and the Barça centre-back announced their separation.

The snap was taken as Shakira launched her educational centre in her native Barranquilla, Colombia.

Fundación Pies Descalzos has been in the drafts since 2018 btu was finally inaugurated thanks to the partnership between Fundació FC Barcelona and the “la Caixa” Foundation.

The foundation is set to benefit around 1,000 students each year, who will be able to carry out their primary and secondary basic education studies.

It will also provide community service by opening development spaces for fathers, mothers and other members of the 53,000-resident neighbourhood.

“On behalf of myself and my Pies Descalzos Foundation, I express my immense gratitude and pride in having allies and friends such as the Mayor's Office of Barranquilla, the La Caixa Banking Foundation, the FC Barcelona Foundation, and the Educational Foundation LCI for fulfilling a new dream: building a new school in Barranquilla and continuing to support girls, boys and young people in the city," Shakira said at the opening ceremony.

It comes after the Hips Don't Lie singer revealed the name of her latest track - and it's seemingly another blast at her ex-Gerard Pique.

And as she was honoured with the ceremony's coveted Video Vanguard award, Shakira made sure her ex, Spanish footballer, Gerard Pique, knew what he was missing.

The Colombian, 46, revealed to The Sun on the pink carpet that her latest single is called The Boss.

It is an apparent nod to the alleged nickname she was given by Pique's pals after they said she failed to hang out with them during their 11-year relationship.

Shakira allegedly never hit it off with the footballer's friends, who gave her the nickname due to her "bad character" - dubbing her "La Patron" or "The Boss".

She later performed her song BZRP MUSIC SESSIONS, VOL. 53, the diss track which took aim at Pique's relationship with his younger new partner, Clara Chia Marti.

In June 2022, the Colombian singer and the Barcelona defender announced their separation.

A statement released via Shakira's publicist read: “We regret to confirm that we are parting ways.

"For the well-being of our children, who are our highest priority, we ask that you respect their privacy. Thank you for your understanding."

Pique wasted no time from moving on as the Spaniard is currently dating a student who works for him.

Clara, 23, is a PR student who is employed by Pique's events production company, Kosmos.

he Sun can reveal that the couple met through the organisation and sources close to them claim that they have been dating for some time.

A source close to Clara said: “Gerard and Clara have been seeing each other for months.

“She is a student who also works for him in his office, organising events.
