Barcelona soccer star Gerard Piqué allegedly cheated on his pop star girlfriend Shakira — but she may get the last laugh by having his soccer team wear a jersey along with her name on it.
A Spanish newspaper is reporting that the “Hips Don’t Lie” crooner could possibly be about to sign a licensing cope with Barcelona FC which might have her name emblazoned on the jersey of the soccer club which incorporates her estranged ex.
The web site for the Spanish every day “El Español” cited Barcelona-based sports reporter Moises Llorens as claiming that Shakira and Barca are nearing an agreement.
“Barcelona is planning the ‘reunion’ of Gerard Piqué with Shakira,” based on a report in “El Español.”
The team has not commented on the report.
Earlier this 12 months, fans of the singer and her famous soccer star partner were shocked to learn that that they had separated attributable to his alleged infidelity.

Piqué, 35, is alleged to have began a fling with 23-year-old public relations student Clara Chia Marti. Photos of the 2 in public were said to have angered Shakira, who shares two children with the Barca defender.
During last Sunday’s 3-1 loss to rival Real Madrid within the “El Clásico” series on the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium within the Spanish capital, Barca players were outfitted with jerseys bearing the “OVO” owl logo, which is the symbol representing the brand marketed by pop star Drake.

The brand is a component of a licensing deal that Barcelona signed with Spotify. The soccer club wore the Drake logo to have fun the artist surpassing 50 billion streams on Spotify — the primary musician to achieve the milestone.
Shakira’s drama-filled personal life was further thrown into turmoil last month when a Spanish judge ruled that she needed to stand trial for allegedly failing to pay $13.9 million in taxes on income that she earned between 2012 and 2014.

Prosecutors will seek an eight-year prison sentence and a stiff positive in the event that they manage to win a conviction of the “Hips Don’t Lie” singer, who has denied any wrongdoing.
The 45-year-old performer has insisted that she only lived lower than half of the time in Spain throughout the two-year period. She has rejected a plea agreement with prosecutors that might have spared her a trial.
Her public relations firm has said she has already paid all that she owed and a further 3 million euros — or $2.8 million — in interest.
