Shakira says it is ‘not true’ that the end of her 11-year relationship with longtime partner Gerard Piqué was spurred on after she discovered a jar of strawberry jam – that only she was partial to in their household – had been opened
The three-time Grammy winner, 47, speaking with The Sunday Times, said that the rumors she learned about Piqué’s alleged cheating after discovering the jam jar were ‘not true.’
The Hips Don’t Lie hitmaker and former soccer player, 37, parted ways in June of 2022; they are parents to two sons, Milan, 11, and Sasha, nine.
In the wake of his split with the South American singer, whose full name is Shakira Isabel Mebarak Ripoll, Piqué began a romance with Clara Chia Marti.
Adding to the speculation about the jam incident was the music video for Colombian singer’s single Te Felicito, a collaboration with Rauw Alejandro, in April of 2022.
The video included a sequence in which Shakira was seen rummaging in her refrigerator, spurring on speculation about potential hints she was dropping ahead of the end of her relationship with Piqué.
The Hips Don’t Lie vocalist faced questions about the sequence in a May 2022 appearance on the U.K. television show This Morning.
According to a translated transcript of the exchange on ShowNews Today, she said that she peered into the fridge in the clip in an effort ‘to find the truth.’
The Whenever, Wherever artist added, ‘It is when I go to the fridge and find the head of Rauw Alejandro.’
According to ShowNews Today, the Spanish TV show Socialite was the first to connect the jam incident, citing an interview with Shakira.
Shakira figured out someone else had been in the house, according to the outlet, leading her to suspect Piqué of two-timing her. The jam theory persisted via legions of the singer’s fans posting on social media about it.
