Shakira and Gerard Piqué's love story lasted more than a decade before they called it quits.
The "Hips Don't Lie" singer and soccer player, parents to sons Milan, 9, and Sasha, 7, first met in 2010 while filming her "Waka Waka (This Time for Africa)" music video. They went public with their relationship in 2011.
Over the years, Shakira, 45, and Gerard, 45, occasionally made public appearances at celebrity events, sometimes with their sons. The former pair often posted photos of their family on Instagram. This past Valentine's Day, the singer paid tribute to her partner with a couple's selfie.
But on June 4, Shakira and Gerard announced their breakup, saying in a joint statement to E! News, "We regret to confirm that we are parting ways. For the well-being of our children, who are our highest priority, we ask that you respect their privacy. Thank you for your understanding."

By 2011, Shakira and Gerard were publically an item and fans couldn't get enough of this couple.
In 2012, the Colombian singer and Spanish soccer star announced that they were expecting their first child.

"I think, if you can prove the existence of God, it can only be proven through love," Shakira told ELLE in 2013. "I even had lost my faith for a while...I started to think that there was no God. And suddenly I meet Gerard, and the sun comes out."
"We already have what's essential, you know? We have a union, a love for each other, and a baby. I think that those aspects of our relationship are already established, and marriage is not going to change them. But if I'm ever going to get married, he's the one," Shakira said to Glamour magazine in 2014.
