GERARD Pique makes a splash paddleboarding off a luxury yacht on a romantic getaway with his new lover Clara Chia.
The football icon, 36, swam on the Croatia coast alongside his stunning 24-year-old girlfriend after she moved into his and Shakira’s old mansion last month.
Photos of the pair show Pique decked in blue and white swimming trunks and goggles as Clara showed off her toned figure in a tiny olive green bikini.
The couple were seen splashing around in the waters near beach Sunj on Lopund Island as they climbed onto a blue paddleboard.
One photo shows Pique standing on the back of the board with a paddle in hand as Clara kicks back and soaks up the sun.
Another shows Clara taking the lead as Pique perches off the end of the paddleboard, staring into the distance.

The pair also took a swim in the sea as Clara climbed onto Pique’s back while they both donned a pair of goggles.
After the couple’s diving and paddle-boarding fun, Pique and Clara were spotted stepping onto the deck of a luxury yacht wrapped up in towels.
Images show the loved-up pair enjoying a meal as the footie star took in the views from the yacht.
It comes after the former Spanish centre-back moved his new girlfriend into the mansion that was also his ex Shakira’s first home in Spain.

“Shakira lived in that house in 2012 when she arrived in Barcelona, journalist Pepe del Real told El Programa de Ana Rosa.
“What’s more, the images of Shakira leaving the hospital, of her pregnant and arriving at the house were in that house, which is in the town of Cambrils.
“It’s quite secure, it’s not next to the sea but it does have a lot of privacy.”
He added: “It is an old Piqué house, I imagine that he would have rented it or used it on a weekend.
“It is not a new love nest, it is a house that they are going to use to go live or settle for summer with Clara Chía.”
The couple will leave Piqué’s Barcelona city centre apartment and move into the mansion, located just a few metres away from the beach.
Pique was then later filmed demanding “nobody” fans to “shut up” at a Madrid nightclub after partygoers began chanting Shakira’s name.
This led to Pique reportedly biting back to the trolling by saying: “What’s wrong? I am the world champion and you are nobody.”
Former Real Madrid goalkeeper Iker Casillas then appeared on the scene and seemed to make matters worse as he asked the DJ to play Waka Waka – which of course was sung by Shakira.
But following the awkward encounter, Shakira took to Instagram to take a swipe at her ex as she lip-synced her song Copa Vacia while sporting a strappy orange tank top and skintight jeans.
The 46-year-old showed off her stunning figure and iconic dance moves while mouthing the chorus to her song which translates to “Empty Cup”.
While the post racked up over nine million views, eagle-eyed fans spotted the secret message and flocked to the comments to leave their thoughts.
One wrote: “Pique crying right now”.
