For the last few months, Shakira has always been in the news for something or the other. It is either because of her diss tracks or her epic replies to Gerard Pique on the internet. During the entire diss track controversy, quite a few celebrities lauded the Colombian singer for her music. They appreciated the singer’s efforts to compose music based on ‘reality’.

While Lionel Messi’s wife has subtly appreciated Shakira throughout the controversy, Carles Puyol’s wife was quite critical of her character. Even though Puyol and Pique are close friends, Puyol’s wife didn’t shy away from letting the fanbase know a few facts about the Latin American singer.

What did Puyol’s wife say about Shakira?

In November 2022, Puyol’s wife, Vanesa Lorenzo, was very critical of Pique’s ex-partner’s behavior with the wives of other soccer stars. She shockingly revealed that the singer was quite distant from all wives of Pique’s teammates. She appeared to have a very ‘cold’ relationship with everyone around her.

In an exclusive interview with People En Espanol, she said, “I know Carles has spoken to him because they are very close friends. I get along very well with her, although it has been said that she had no relationship with the wives of the footballers. I have always thought she was a great woman”, translated by Google Translate.

On the contrary, the cameras have always captured Shakira smiling whenever she has turned up for any of Pique’s soccer games. At one time, Shakira used to attend several soccer games with her mother-in-law and Milan, her elder son. Even though Lorenzo’s statements were an eye-opener for many, it’s hard to believe it because of Shakira’s broken–fixed relationship with Lionel Messi’s wife.

On several occasions, Antonella Roccuzzo has supported Shakira on social media without saying a single word.

Shakira’s complicated relationship with Roccuzzo

Lionel Messi’s wife supporting the Grammy Award winner was firstly a surprise in itself. This was simply because Roccuzzo never approved of Pique’s relationship with the 46-year-old in its initial stages. But she has seemingly put that phase of life behind her and moved on. She commented on the announcement posts of both tracks on Instagram.

During her collaboration with Bizarrap, she left five ‘fire’ emojis in the comments section. A month later, she dropped ‘seven’ fire emojis when the iconic Colombian duo came together for TQG. Like Roccuzzo, tons of other celebrities, especially Chiquis Rivera expressed their solidarity and support for the Grammy Award winner and her diss tracks.
