Where It All Started

These two lovebirds met on the set of Shakira's "Waka Waka," which was the official song of the 2010 FIFA World Cup. 

Piqué later revealed that he told her, "I am going to win this World Cup so that we can see each other at the finals." And so he did and that's how it all began.

Sun's Out

"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."

Love for Each Other

"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.
