Surprisingly, Roccuzzo disliked the celebrity couple some years ago. That’s because she was a close friend of Nuria Tomas who was dating Pique before he met the Colombian icon. Messi’s wife was reportedly unhappy with how things ended between them. They were almost cut out from their wedding list as well. But Roccuzzo seems to have changed her mind regarding Shakira in recent months.

That’s because the Inter Miami star’s wife has expressed her support for the Colombian singer on multiple occasions. Before her track release with Bizarrap and Karol G, she subtly supported the Latin American star on social media.
