GERARD Pique regretted splitting up with Shakira and desperately tried to win her back, it has been claimed.
The former Barca star had reportedly tried to get back with the singer a month after their breakup.
As the Colombian pop star refused to take him back he started his new life with 23-year-old Clara Chia Marti.
The claim comes by Spanish Univision journalist Jordi Martin cited sources close to Shakira, Marca reports.
The journalist claims that sources close to the star said the footballer decided to end their relationship in April last year.
But a month after he left the family home, he returned to the singer asking her to forget everything and get back together.

Martin said: “Pique regretted leaving Shakira and decided to try again.”
And Pique wasted no time moving on as started dating PR student Clara Chia Marti.
The journalist continued: “From those close to Shakira, they tell me that last April they ended their relationship.
“A month later he regretted it and returned home, but it didn’t work out and they decided to break up completely. Clara already existed by then.”

He also claimed that the Colombian pop star, who had forgiven Gerard for his affairs in the past, didn’t do so this time as she knew Clara “wasn’t just another one.”
In Shakira’s revenge song BZRP Music Sessions #53, which she described as catharsis and release, one of the lyrics says: “I’m not coming back to you, not even if you cry or beg me.”
In the new track, she takes a swipe at Clara’s age with the lyrics: “I’m worth two 22s. You traded a Ferrari for a Twingo, you traded a Rolex for a Casio.”
And Pique responded to the song by turning up to work in an £8,000 Renault Twingo.
He also boasted that his new seven-a-side project the King’s League had landed a sponsorship deal with Casio – adding that the cheaper watch would “last a lifetime”.
It comes as the footballer came face to face with a creepy witch doll at Shakira’s house the singer has placed on her balcony – which is said to overlook her former mother-in-law’s pad.
Neighbours said Shakira has also been blasting out her new song on repeat so Pique’s mum, Montserrat Bernabéu, can hear.
Pique was spotted driving in Barcelona with his sons Milan, nine, and Sasha, over the weekend.
The former Barca defender was previously pictured looking miserable at an NBA game in Paris.
