Cristiano Ronaldo's ex-girlfriend Irina Shayk spotted with Gerard Pique amid Barcelona star's breakup with Shakira

Gerard Pique was recently in the news due to his breakup with singer Shakira, and has now been spotted with Cristiano Ronaldo's ex-girlfriend Irina Shayk.

Following the split, Piqué has been seen with several women, including Clara Chia Marti, which has caused speculation of an affair between them. Nevertheless, recent pictures of Pique with Cristiano Ronaldo's ex-girlfriend Irina Shayk have led to fresh rumors of them dating.

The pictures, obtained by Page Six 9 (via Koimoi), show Pique standing close to Shayk with his arm around her during an NBA game in France. Pique was wearing a casual tan Nike hoodie, while Irina Shayk was in a black turtleneck sweater and black trousers.

These recent photographs and rumors have sparked speculation among fans that Gerard Pique is dating Irina Shayk, although this has not yet been officially confirmed. In addition to the reports of a possible new relationship, Pique and his former partner Shakira have also been in the headlines for other reasons.

The heated arguments over the custody of their two sons Milan and Sasha following their separation have been ongoing. While it remains unclear what will happen with either situation, both are being closely followed by paparazzi and fans alike.

Shayk and Cristiano Ronaldo's relationship was one of the most talked-about celebrity romances, prior to when the power couple broke up. They first met while shooting an Armani Exchange ad in 2009 and began dating shortly after that.

After her split with Cristiano Ronaldo, she moved on to a new relationship with Bradley Cooper in 2015. However, they too ended things four years later in 2019.
