Shakira had a particularly rocky relationship with ex-Barcelona superstar Lionel Messi's wife Antonella: Reports

Ever since Shakira's well-publicized breakup with Barcelona star Gerard Pique, many reports and rumors have cropped up about how the pop star interacted with the defender's teammates and partners. The latest reports coming in from Spain say that Shakira did not get along well with the wives and girlfriends of Pique's teammates, especially Lionel Messi's wife, Antonella Roccuzzo.

Speaking on the program It's Already Noon (via El Spectador), journalist Lorena Vasquez claimed that Pique's former girlfriend never got along well with Pique's friends because of her bossy personality. The reporter also stated that Shakira did not have the best of relationships with Lionel Messi's wife, Antonella, in particular.

All this led to Pique's friends reportedly calling the Colombian popstar by the nickname 'La Patrona'.

Colombian singer Carlos Vives, when asked about Shakira by the Cadena 100 radio station, said:

"She's going through a very difficult time. She has to be sad; I've been through that too. I definitely felt sad; it's a very difficult time and well, when you have such a beautiful family."

Gerard Pique's close friend and streamer Ibai Llanos, on the other hand, has said that the Barcelona defender is fine and is preparing for next season. Llanos was quoted as saying:

"The press has talked a lot, but now he's preparing for the season with FC Barcelona and he's doing well. Everything's fine."
