The Barcelona defender and the singer from Barranquilla were lauded as one of the strongest couples in the entertainment world. Though the couple were not married, fans dreamed of seeing them together for much longer.

According to the journalists, Pique's alleged new girlfriend deleted her social media accounts, and sources close to the duo confirmed she had more than 300 posts on Instagram. "She's 22 years old, she's blonde, she's a student and an event model," they claimed earlier.

Now, Fa and Vazquez have claimed Pique's alleged new girlfriend's name begins with the letter C. "She has very defined cheekbones," Fa claims, describing the physique of Pique's apparent new partner. "She has a very defined face, she's not one of those girls with a doll's face. She's very childlike when she's wearing a basic t-shirt, but when she's dressed up she is very glamorous."

"The relationship with her is important enough to end a marriage," Fa said. "I would bet that this girl has not set foot in Shakira's house, but she has been in Pique's bachelor pad." Earlier, Spanish media house Marca, quoting journalist Antonio Aviles, claimed the decision to release the joint statement was a unilateral one on the part of Shakira. The move is said to have taken the Barcelona star by surprise.

Aviles, who appeared on 'Viva la Vida' show, further claimed that people close to the Pique assured him that there was 'no infidelity' on the part of the footballer. He also claimed that the Spaniard and singer had had an 'open relationship' over the past few years.

In May, Shakira travelled to Ibiza twice, with their children, Milan and Sasha, and a friend, but without Pique, who was injured and unavailable for his club Barcelona. The 45-year-old Colombian singer met the Barcelona defender while promoting her 2010 World Cup anthem, "Waka Waka (This Time for Africa)." While Shakira is one of the world's premier musical artists for her songs and live performances, Pique is one of European soccer's top defenders.
