Saed News: Gerard Piqué revealed an interesting account of the beginning of his relationship with Shakira, saying that their acquaintance began during the 2010 World Cup with a simple message about South Africa’s weather—a message that, according to him, was a sign of Shakira’s interest.
According to SAEDNEWS, Gerard Piqué said about how he met his former wife Shakira: The first time I saw Shakira was in Madrid during the filming of the song “Waka Waka” for the 2010 World Cup.
I asked for her number. She arrived in South Africa before us (before the Spanish national team) because she was supposed to perform at the opening ceremony. I sent her a message asking her to check the weather because we would arrive a few days later.
Usually, when you ask a silly question, you get a reply like: “It’s cold, bring a jacket!”
But she wrote a long paragraph, with details about temperature changes during the day, and I thought: “Oh my God, this is not normal!” The level of detail showed there was interest.
We started texting each other during the World Cup. But the only chance I had to see her was if I reached the final, because she was also performing at the closing ceremony. I told her I would try my best to reach the final so I could see her again—and I made it to the final.
