10 Football Stars Who Dated Celebrities

7. Gerard Pique

Gerard Pique is a skilled center-back who currently plays for hometown club FC Barcelona, and on occasion, the Catalonia national team. Back in 2010, Pique played a major role in helping Spain capture the World Cup. The Barcelona standout is known for his stellar defensive and passing skills.

From 2009 to 2011, the World Cup winner was in a relationship with a lesser-known Spanish actress by the name of Nuria Tomas. Following the breakup, the football star would go on to date a very well known entertainer, the Colombian-born singer, Shakira.

The fact that Shakira is roughly ten years Pique's senior hasn't been an issue, as the two have been going strong since 2011. They met on the set of the singer's music video for her song "Waka Waka." They have been an item for nearly a decade and have two children together.
