Gerard Pique is reportedly dating a student following his split with Shakira after 12 years together.

The Sun reports that the Barcelona legend has been dating the woman who works for him over the past few months.

PR student Clara Chia Marti is some 12 years the defender’s junior, with Pique at 35 years old. It is thought that the newfound couple met while they were working on events at his production company Kosmos.

Pique split from Shakira, who he has two children with, following reports in Spain their marriage was on the rocks.

A source close to Clara told The Sun: “Gerard and Clara have been seeing each other for months. She is a student who also works for him in his office, organising events.

Do you think Pique has been seeing the girl for longer than he's let on? Let us know in the comments section below.

“They have been keeping quiet about their relationship but those around them all know what is happening.

“People have been helping him keep the romance hush-hush and have wiped Clara’s social media accounts so people can’t find photos of her. That alone makes his mates think he is actually quite serious about being with her.”

Pique and Shakira had a well-publicised split in June, though it’s not clear precisely what the reasons for the breakup were.

The pair met in 2010 when the player featured in the video to her song Waka Waka as part of the World Cup in South Africa that year.

It is believed that the couple had agreed on a temporary custody agreement, though Pique was hoping for the two kids to stay with him in Barcelona and Shakira was hoping that they relocate to Miami with her.

The pop star has recently been working as a judge in US show Dancing With Myself.
