    The former Barcelona defender visited Mexico over the weekend as he moves towards a possible Latin American instalment of his seven-a-side project the Kings League.
    But the reporters eagerly waiting at the airport had something else on their minds.
    Footage from the incident shows the pack of journalists began bombarding Pique, 36, with questions about his former relationship with the Colombian songstress, Shakira, 45.
    The TikTok clip shows it all kicked off when one local reporter, Claudia Maldonado, refused to accept his silence.

    She shouted loudly in his face: “Everyone hates you for what you did to Shakira, and now you’re behaving like that with the press?”
    The Spanish football star looked simultaneously baffled and furious at the remark as he managed to get away from the rabble and into a car.
    Pique has repeatedly come under fire from both Shakira’s loyal fans and press across the world since rumours began to swirl that he cheated on the Hips Don’t Lie singer.
    In June 2022, the bombshell news broke that the superstar couple would be splitting up following speculation of the Barcelona ace’s alleged infidelity.

    It marked the end of their 12-year romance and the start of a vicious feud.
    The footie star then revealed he was dating 24-year-old Clara Chia Marti soon after the high-profile separation, fuelling further rumours of a possible affair.
    Now, once one of the world’s most glamorous showbiz couples are now arch rivals who only speak for the sake of their two sons – and there is still no sign of a truce.
    Diss tracks, witch dolls, empty jam jars and sponsorship deals have been at the centre of the ongoing war between the former lovers.
    This week, Shakira took to Instagram to take a swipe at her ex Gerard Pique calling herself “The Boss” in a horseback photo.
    The singing superstar shared a snap of her new music video for her latest track El Jefe, seemingly taking another swipe at Pique.
    The new hit is an apparent nod to the alleged nickname she was given by Pique’s pals, “El Jefe” (The Boss).
    Other musical digs have included the iconic lines: “You traded a Ferrari for a Twingo” and “a Rolex for a Casio” in her epic diss track, BZRP Music Session #53″.
    Another lyric goes: “Sorry baby, I should have thrown you out a while ago. A she-wolf like me is not for rookies.
    “A she-wolf like me is not for guys like you. I’m too good for you, and that’s why you’re with someone just like you.
    “No hard feelings baby, I wish you the best with my supposed replacement.”
    Earlier this month, Shakira gave a tell-all interview in which she admitted she “believed in ’till death do us part'”, until she caught wind of the alleged affair.
    The now Miami -based singer said that it was once her “dream” to have a life-long relationship with the father of her two children.
    “It’s what I wanted for myself and my children, but it didn’t happen.”
    But the former Barcelona centre-back has also done his fair share of poking the bear, while flaunting his new relationship with Clara to the world.

    In September, the football icon was pictured on a romantic getaway with his stunning girlfriend after she moved into his and Shakira’s old mansion in August.
    The loved-up pair was seen splashing on the Croatia coast alongside before returning to their luxury yacht.

    Buffon popped the question in 2017, with the couple delaying their wedding until he retired.
    After hanging up his boots aged 45 back in August, they are now set to tie the knot next summer.
    Italian presenter Ilaria initially studied to be a lawyer before embarking on a media career, most notably with Sky Sports Italy.
    She worked as both a presenter and commentator for the broadcaster before leaving in 2018.

    In the years since, Ilaria has continued to work in the industry and even had her own talk show called What’s New.
    Meanwhile, the 50-year-old has also worked as an actress, playing herself in an Italian comedy film back in 2008.
    Ilaria even appeared alongside Buffon in Amazon Prime’s All or Nothing: Juventus series before he left the club two years ago.
    INSTAGRAM HIT
    As for her Instagram, Ilaria has over 55,000 followers on the platform, where she shares an insight into all aspects of her life.

    Ilaria’s relationship with Buffon dates back almost a decade, having got together following the former goalkeeper’s split from his ex-wife.

    He and Ilaria have since had a son together and her Instagram is filled with family snaps.
    However, Ilaria admitted earlier this year that she thought she could never love Buffon.
    Asked if she imagined their life together when she first met him, she told Corriere: “No, first of all because I would never have imagined that I could fall in love with him…
    “I was a bit prejudiced, I thought stupidly about the roles: the footballer, the journalist who covers sports.
    “Then, at a charity event, I started talking to him in depth and everything became very fast.
    “Things happened naturally, we were in the same emotional moment, with a great need to listen to each other about the crises we had experienced, the solitudes that had passed.
    “After a month it was as if we had known each other for years and the projects came naturally. There was immediately the desire to merge our two worlds, to join the pieces.”
    Ilaria and Buffon are now planning to tie the knot next summer, though, six years after first announcing their engagement.

    Their wedding plans could be affected by the Euros, however, with Buffon now part of Italy’s coaching staff.
    The defending European champions are currently on course to qualify for the tournament in Germany, which is set to run from June 14 to July 14.

    Has Brazil icon Ronaldo finally mellowed after rocky marriages, parties with ‘buses of girls’ & ‘3 prostitutes’ scandal?

    BRAZIL legend Ronaldo Nazario is planning a huge wedding Ibiza party on Friday with 400 guests – but it should be more sedate than what the football wildman got up to in the past.The 47-year-old World Cup winner was known as the “president of the parties” and once took three prostitutes back to a hotel room – only for it to become a global scandal.
    Brazil legend Ronaldo announced his engagement to model Celina Locks earlier this yearCredit: Instagram @celinalocks
    Ronaldo, though, insists he has settled down since meeting model and businesswoman Celina Locks, 33, seven years ago.
    Celina became his second wife when they tied the knot on the Spanish island in an intimate ceremony this week.
    It was a very traditional ceremony, with the bride and and groom dressed in white and being showered by petals as they left the church. 
    They are reportedly going to follow it with a star-studded celebration at his holiday villa in Ibiza.

    Before his proposal Ronaldo joked: “I was also the president of the parties. I organised most of the parties.
    “My girlfriend now is very happy that I have also retired from the parties – and I miss it so much.”
    Ronaldo, who played for both Barcelona and Real Madrid in Spain, had a reputation for living it up even when he was a professional footballer.
    Former teammate Ivan Helguera claimed that “buses of girls” would turn up to enjoy Ronaldo’s hospitality.

    He said: “I remember a birthday party at Ronaldo’s house, which he later sold to Sergio Ramos, where buses full of girls began to arrive. 
    “I was with my wife and we decided to leave, as did Figo.”
    Rocky romances
    Ronaldo’s sexual appetite has proven to be problematic.
    His first marriage to women’s footballer Milene Domingues, 44, lasted four years and produced one son, Ronald, 23.
    Two years after they split, he walked down the aisle with model Daniella Cicarelli in February 2005, in a glamorous wedding where Fat Boy Slim DJed at the reception.
    But it was reportedly not legally binding because neither of the couple’s divorces had been officially signed off.
    Three months later the relationship was over, with Daniella alleging that her fiance had been unfaithful.
    A paternity test later revealed that a Brazilian waitress called Michele Umezu had given birth to Ronaldo’s son Alexander in April 2005.
    He had met Michelle in Tokyo three years earlier.
    The next potential Mrs Ronaldo was engineering student Maria Beatriz Antony.
    But the footballer dramatically upended their engagement by taking three prostitutes back to his hotel room in Rio de Janeiro in the spring of 2008.
    Prostitute scandal
    Ronaldo was shocked to discover that they were in fact men and alleged that they tried to get the millionaire player to hand over £15,000.
    The police superintendent in charge of the case said: “Ronaldo admits the facts. He said he just wanted to amuse himself, that’s not a crime.
    “To pay to have sexual relations isn’t illegal. There’s a strong chance that Ronaldo has been the victim of extortion.”
    Maria, who was pregnant at the time of the scandal, left her husband-to-be before changing her mind and going back to him.
    They had two daughters – Maria Sofia, 14, and Maria Alice, 13 – during their seven-year relationship.

    Ronaldo has a reputation for his generous spirit, offering to pay for huge meals in restaurants and looking after friends.
    But hiding behind that huge smile was an anxious star.
    Ronaldo, who suffered from several injuries during his career before retiring in 2011, revealed last year: “Today I am in therapy. I have been in therapy for two and a half years and I understand myself much better than before.”
    Like David Beckham, the wealthy ex-player sees value in owning football clubs.
    He became the biggest share owner of Spanish side Real Valladolid in September 2018 and three years later took control of his boyhood club Cruzeiro in Brazil.
    But neither team is doing well and fans have protested.
    Settled down
    The rotund star, who battled with weight problems as a player, appears to be ready for a more settled life with Celina.
    She told Vogue magazine about how confident he was when they met seven years ago.
    Celina recalled: “He said I would fall in love in two months. I burst out laughing, but it happened.”
    He popped the question during a romantic trip to the Caribbean, announcing their engagement this January.
    Celina said: “It was very special for him to look at me not only as the love of his life, but to exalt me as a woman.”
    Two months later fans thought that Celina was pregnant when she posted a photograph of herself with her hand on the stomach next to the words: “A new phase of my life is beginning and with it a great responsibility.”
    It turned out, though, that she wasn’t due to become a mother.
    Whatever happens, it is clear that the couple are going to celebrate their nuptials in style.
