And Shakira, 45, confirmed their separation in a statement through her publicist – although she did not mention Pique’s alleged infidelity.
It read: “We are sorry to confirm that we are separating.
“For the well-being of our children, who are our highest priority, we ask you to respect their privacy.
“Thanks for understanding.”
Pique, 35, has not yet issued a statement on the separation, nor has he commented on his alleged infidelity.
Reports in Spain claim that the ex-husband of Manchester United “stays alone in his own apartment for weeks” after Shakira revealed his alleged infidelity.
The World Cup winner is said to have enjoyed Barcelona’s famous nightlife with his friends and teammate Ricky Puig.
And according to Marca, his party was “out of control.”

Pique met Shakira when he trained in Madrid before the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.
The hit of the Colombian singer Waka Waka was the official song for the tournament and the defender appeared in the video.
Pique recalls: “It all started when we were in South Africa and I wrote to her.”
They confirmed that they have a relationship a year later.
Their first child, a boy named Milan, was born in January 2013.
The former couple welcomed their second child, a boy named Sasha, in January 2015.
Prior to their separation, Pique was questioned about his failure to tie the knot with the singer of Whenever, Wherever.
While playing for The Overlap, the central defender told his former team-mate Gary Neville: “No, I’m not married. This is her mentality.
“I like the way we are now. We have two children, nine and seven at the moment. We work well as a couple.”
