    Pique, 36, and Shakira, 46, called time on their 11-year romance last June before he went official with his new girlfriend Clara Chia, 23.
    The Hips Don’t Lie singer then penned a scathing diss track with multiple references to Pique and his new girlfriend.
    Shakira fans believe she may have had another dig at the pair in her latest post on social media.
    The selfie shows half of her face lit up while the rest is shadowed.

    She is not smiling in the photo, and is instead looking down at the camera.
    Alongside the snap, Shakira wrote: “Chiaroscuro.”
    Chiaroscuro is an Italian word which translates to light-dark.
    It is most commonly used to describe the balance of light and dark in artwork.

    Web sleuths claim the use of the word could be a swipe at Pique’s new girlfriend, and it contains part of her name – Chia.
    It comes after Spanish press claimed the pop star has been moving on with a man based in Miami.
    Shakira is due to move Florida after signing a child custody agreement with former Barcelona star Pique.
    Fans had been left guessing whether she will leave Spain with her sons Milan, ten, and Sasha, eight, in June at the end of their school year, or sooner.
    But Spanish news website OK Diario says Shakira may have another reason to accelerate her move to Miami – a “mystery man”.
    It claims to have been told she met him several months ago before she penned her latest diss song targeting Pique and Clara.
    A representative for Shakira denied reports.
    Meanwhile, sources claim Pique’s mum Montserrat Bernabéu helped him hide his reported affair from Shakira.
    It was reported that Shakira recruited a team of professionals to snoop on her ex before their messy break-up.
    She is said to have hired a private investigator to trail Pique to confirm her suspicions.
    The super sleuth spotted the Spaniard frequently visiting the nightclub where his now girlfriend worked, Marca reported.
    Rumours had also swirled that Shakira first smelt a rat after taking a look in her fridge at their five-storey Barcelona property.
    The songstress is said to have returned home from a period of travelling to find her strawberry jam had been eaten, which Pique didn’t like.

    Journalist Laura Fa claimed: “Everything is because when the relationship between Piqué and Clara Chía began, they took refuge in a house that Piqué’s parents have in Cabrils (Spain).
    “While Shakira cried on her mother-in-law’s shoulder, she was an accomplice in hiding this new relationship.”

    Various reasons have been touted behind his sudden sacking by Bayern, such as a lack of player development and “negative sporting development”.
    Reports suggest the 35-year-old and Wurzenberger’s affair was also among the causes.
    That is because it created distrust in the dressing room at the Allianz Arena as she was working for one of Germany’s biggest publications.
    That is despite the fact the top newspaper axed her from their Bayern coverage last year to avoid a conflict of interest.

    But Bild confirmed the 30-year-old will leave her position and assume a role at BMW on April 1.
    Wurzenberger will become the car manufacturers’ “spokeswoman for the supplier network and sustainability”.
    Nagelsmann found out he was dismissed by Bayern during a skiing trip with his girlfriend.
    He was promptly replaced by former Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel.

    Now the former RB Leipzig boss has been linked with a move to Tottenham to replace Antonio Conte, who was recently dismissed as well.
    Reports also suggest the ex-Hoffenheim head coach is open to talks with Spurs.
    But the North Londoners are in no hurry to find Conte’s replacement, which is why they replaced him with his assistant Cristian Stellini until the end of the season.
    Tottenham are also keeping tabs on other free agents, such as Luis Enrique and former manager Mauricio Pochettino. More

    The son of Klopp’s wife Ulla Sandrock, 35-year-old Dennis, is set to become a father.
    Speaking on Viaplay Sport Polska, a jubilant Klopp said: “I’m going to be a grandpa!”
    Klopp and Ulla got married in 2005 after meeting at a pub during the Munich Oktoberfest.
    The pair do not have any children together, but have sons from each of their first respective managers.

    Klopp’s son, 34-year-old Marc, gets along well with Dennis according to Bild.

    In an interview with the club’s website, he said: “The most important contract I signed in my life was the one with Ulla.
    “That’s where it started again. We sat in the kitchen at the table and Ulla said, ‘I can’t see us leaving in 2024.’ And I was like, ‘What?’
    “That’s how it all started and when that started I thought ‘let’s have a think’.”
    Klopp then added: “Ulla, she just loves it here.
    “If she would say, ‘Honestly, I love the football and I love watching it but I actually want to go home’, then we would go, that’s the truth. She started it and here we are.” More

    She wrote: “The reality is that a while ago, after a lot of reflection, the father of my children and I made the decision to end our relationship, long before the recent media events that have involved me, which are totally external.”
    Abouk also referenced the “pain” and “grief” she experienced due to the separation and the “failure of a family project to which [she] had given [her] body and soul.”
    She added she did not imagine in addition to facing the “usual pain that comes with a separation,” she would also have to confront “this shame” as well.
    Abouk said: “I needed time to digest this shock.”

    Earlier this month, French prosecutors confirmed the World Cup ace, 24, has been placed under judicial supervision on preliminary charges of rape.
    He is accused of raping a woman after inviting her to his home while his wife was on holiday with their kids.
    Reports in her native Spain claim TV actress Hiba had already been estranged from him for weeks.
    They have not been seen together in public for months.

    And following the rape allegation she is “accelerating” proceedings to separate for good, according to Cierre Digital.
    A previous Instagram post shows Abouk walking on a Dubai beach with her two young sons.
    She captioned it “adding moments”, and included the hashtags “family first” and one translating as “I’d die for mine”.
    Madrid-born Hakimi – who plays for Morocco – is known as the north African nation’s answer to David Beckham.

    In October the A-list couple posed together in a stunning photoshoot in Vogue Arabia.
    Hakimi “strongly denies” the rape allegation, his lawyer Fanny Colin said.
    Ms Colin added the decision to investigate Hakimi would give him the opportunity to defend himself.
    According to Le Parisien, Hakimi had been talking to the alleged victim on Instagram since January 16.
    He allegedly paid for an Uber to drive her to his home in a Paris suburb.
    She claimed he assaulted her before she was able to free herself by kicking him then texted a friend to pick her up.

    The woman went to a police station on Sunday, but reportedly said she did not want to press charges.
    Prosecutors launched an investigation due to the seriousness of the allegations.
