    The singer is reportedly willing to share details of the breakup with the former Barca star.

    But she targeted her ex-partner and his new girlfriend Clara Chia directly in her explosive diss track Shakira Bzrp Music Sessions 53.
    She sings: “I’m too big for you, that’s why you’re with someone just like you.”
    In another verse of the song that the star has described as “catharsis” she says “I’m worth two 22-year-olds. You traded in a Ferrari for a Twingo, you traded in a Rolex for a Casio.”
    Pique’s response was to turn up to work in an £8,000 Renault Twingo and to boast 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”.

    The former couple have been involved in a bitter row over the custody of their sons Sasha, seven, and Milan, ten and their Barcelona mansion.
    Shakira has also allegedly forbidden her children to call Pique’s mum grandma due to her support of her son’s new lover.
    The former Barcelona defender, 35, is currently living with his new girlfriend and co-worker 23-year-old Clara Chia Marti.
    The pair went Instagram official, even though they were forced into hiding, to avoid the backlash following the release of Shakira’s diss track.

    His last professional fight came against Tony Bellew in 2018, but Haye has remained in the headlines since his retirement due to his relationship situation.
    Haye’s girlfriend is Sian Osborne, 11 years his younger, who he reportedly met when she began modelling for his Black Mask Company.
    However, in more recent times, the pair have been spotted with a third celebrity.
    The Brit is also believed to be dating The Saturday’s pop star Una Healy after rumours of a unique throuple were reignited.

    Una is believed to have jetted abroad with Haye and Sian earlier this week.
    But she was nowhere to be seen at the birthday bash as the former two-weight world champion threw Sian an incredible party in Costa Rica to celebrate her 31st in style.
    Haye took to Instagram to share a number of snaps and several video clips of their stunning surroundings.
    The ex-boxer poses topless while Sian stuns in a white dress in one picture in front of a pool.

    In others they enjoy a romantic sunset on the beach, lunch with a bottle of bubbly and are even joined by a scorpion on the sand.
    Videos also show a gathering inside a stylish resort overlooking the ocean.
    Haye captioned the post: “What a beautiful 31st anniversary of the birth of my companion and co-conspirator, @sian.rosemarie.
    “What a wonderful celebration we had, with the beautiful residents of the Santa Teresa jungle town, who all brought nothing but succulent Pura Vida vibes.
    “How Sian puts up with my insatiable unquenchable thirst for living life as though we’ve only 6 months remaining, I’ll never know!
    “She obviously holds within her heart the wisdom that the juice is always worth the squeeze. Let’s keep squeezing!!”
    And it contained a nod to Una, who last week shared pictures and video of her sun-kissed holiday, captioned: “Pura Vida.”

    She shared clips of herself looking glam ahead of the party, playing a guitar, relaxing on a boat on the beautiful ocean, the stunning sunset and a clip of their plane landing and captioned it with: “Pura Vida.”
    David has been in a relationship with Sian since 2020.
    Una was married to ex-rugby star Ben Foden between 2012 and 2018. The former England rugby union star remarried Jackie Belanoff Smith almost a year to the day after their split.
    Last month, The Sun revealed that David is in a three-way relationship with Sian and Una.

    USA manager Gregg Berhalter in World Cup BLACKMAIL plot over kicking his wife in drunken argument in 1991

    USA manager Gregg Berhalter has revealed he has been embroiled in a BLACKMAIL plot dating back to 1991.Berhalter claimed he was blackmailed during the 2022 Qatar World Cup – and has been forced to go public about kicking his wife in 1991.

    In a lengthy statement posted on his Twitter profile, the manager revealed a violent incident in 1991 involving his wife Rosalind and admitted to “kicking her in the legs”.
    The post read: “While we obviously would have wanted to advance further in the World Cup, I am very proud of and grateful for all our players, our staff, everyone at US Soccer, and all of the USMNT fans worldwide who supported us.
    “Our performance relied on hard work and extraordinary energy and commitment from those on and off the pitch during the years of preparation.
    “There are so many positive examples of how our squad came together, making so many different types of sacrifices all in pursuit of our group’s shared vision.
    READ MORE IN Football
    “I am looking forward to continuing my conversations with US Soccer about the future, but now is the time for me to publicly share some personal information which a third party has used against my family and me.”
    Berhalter continued: “During the World Cup, an individual contacted US Soccer, saying that they had information about me that would “take me down” – an apparent effort to leverage something very personal from long ago to bring about the end of my relationship with US Soccer.
    “This is a difficult step to take, but my wife, Rosalind, and I want to clearly and directly share the truth. This is a story that belongs to us, but hopefully there are lessons from our relationship that can be valuable to others.
    “In the fall of 1991, I met my soulmate. I had just turned 18 and was a freshman in college when I met Rosalind for the first time.
    Most read in Football
    “There was a familiar feeling when we spoke. Rosalind was and is an amazing person – determined, empathetic, fun to be around – and we connected immediately.
    “It felt like we had known each other for years. We had been dating for four months when an incident happened between us that would shape the future of our relationship.
    “One night, while out drinking at a local bar, Rosalind and I had a heated argument that continued outside. It became physical and I kicked her in the legs.
    “There are zero excuses for my actions that night; it was a shameful moment and one that I regret to this day.
    “At that time, I immediately apologized to Rosalind, but understandably, she wanted nothing to do with me. I told my parents, family, and friends what happened because I wanted to take full responsibility for my behavior.
    “Rosalind also informed her parents, family, and friends. While the authorities were never involved in this matter, I voluntarily sought out counseling to help learn, grow and improve – one of the most valuable decisions that ever made.
    “To this day, that type of behavior has never been repeated.”
    During the World Cup, an individual contacted US Soccer, saying that they had information about me that would “take me down” – an apparent effort to leverage something very personal from long ago to bring about the end of my relationship with US Soccer.Gregg Berhalter
    The 49-year-old coach, a USA internaional from 1994 and 2006, met Rosalind, also 49, at the University of North Carolina.
    They both played football together and were a couple for six years before getting married in 1999 while now having four children together.
    Berhalter’s post furthered: “I feared that I lost my soulmate and then out of the blue, seven months later I received a call from Rosalind asking if we could speak in person.
    “We met and discussed how we had grown and decided to rebuild our relationship.
    “Rosalind shared that her family supported this decision and by working through what had happened, we both realized that our love, trust, and respect for each other was stronger than the incident that occurred months earlier.
    “Since then, Rosalind and I have lived together in five different countries, three different states and have met and remained friends with many wonderful people from around the world. All of these people have witnessed the strong relationship we have and the loving family we have built together.
    “The lessons learned from that night over three decades ago became the foundation for a loving, devoted, and supportive relationship, which we honored and celebrated with our 25th wedding anniversary this past weekend.
    ‘THIS IS OUR STORY’
    “I am sharing this story after 31 years because it’s important to understand it was an event that shaped me, but doesn’t define me.
    “It was a single, isolated event over three decades ago and a terrible decision made in a bad moment by an 18-year-old. Rosalind and I have been on an amazing journey together.
    “We have raised four wonderful children, who are aware of what happened. We are very proud of our marriage, our relationship, the family we have built, and the people we have become.
    “As a team we emphasize accountability, honesty, and growth. Those aren’t just principles we instill within the team; it is how I live my life. The foundation of any good team is using the past as an opportunity to learn and get better.
    “People can make mistakes and learn from them; people can also be forgiven for their mistakes. Thankfully, Rosalind forgave me.
    “The intention of this statement is to provide transparency and to reinforce that a single bad decision made by a teenager does not necessarily define him for the rest of his life. We will not hide from this. We didn’t then, and we won’t now.
    “This is our story. We have fully cooperated with the US Soccer investigation into this matter, and while we would prefer not to speak about something so personal from so long ago in such a public forum, we are embracing this opportunity to share what has shaped us and how much we have grown and learned from this over the past 31 years. Thank you.
    “Rosalind and Gregg Berhalter.”

    England World Cup star looking for love on dating app just three months after splitting from girlfriend of five years

    HE announced his split from his stunning ex last year and declared that football was his “priority” when it comes to dating.But I can reveal that England and Chelsea player Mason Mount has signed up to the A-list dating app Raya in a bid to find love after confirming in October that he was no longer with model Chloe Wealleans-Watts.
    Mason was named Britain’s most eligible man by society mag Tatler last yearCredit: Getty
    Mason — who was named Britain’s most eligible man by society mag Tatler last year for his “chiselled” good looks, “perfect white teeth” and England goals — has described himself as being in the “athletics” industry and linked his profile to Jack Harlow’s song Funny Seeing You Here.
    The England poster boy has also included snaps from a trip to Paris in front of the ­Eiffel Tower and also candid shots showing off his designer wardrobe and impressive trainer collection.
    A source said: “Mason is all about football but is also looking to find the right girl to settle down with. He is looking for a genuine connection and hopes that a few dates in the capital can help him find The One.
    “Mason has taken his time after the break-up but is not going to rush into anything.”

    The midfielder confirmed his split with Chloe in October after five years together.
    And when asked about his relationship ­status by Tatler last year, he said: “Football is my priority.”
    Queue of women
    Meanwhile model and singer Chloe, who was also a member of London-based girl band 303, is making sure she shows Mason what he is missing and has posted a number of stunning bikini pictures from her recent trip to Jamaica.
    The sportsman, who has a reported net worth of £20million and has 5.4million Instagram followers, joins fellow Chelsea player, defender Ben Chilwell, in signing up to the exclusive dating app.

    But while Mason is bound to have women queuing around the block to get a date, it seems they will have to play second fiddle to his one true love — the beautiful game.

    2023 will see amazing festival gigs from the likes of Elton John at Glasto and The Killers at Reading and Leeds.
    But one name I wasn’t expecting to see on a line-up was Gemma Collins but it’s happening – at South ­London’s Mighty Hoopla.
    She is pulling on her wellies for the second day of the event in Brockwell Park on June 4, where she will host a stage and sing.

    Mimi’s late swipe at ex
    MIMI Webb will release her debut album Amelia in March and has already let slip the name of one of her “favourite” tracks.

    On Instagram Live, she said: “I was in a relationship and I remember I played it to this person and it was about them and it was like a, ‘Don’t f* this up’, kind of song – and then it got f*ed up.
    Anyway, at the time it wasn’t, so it was about this whole situation and it is such a great song.
    Then I changed it after because I was like, ‘No, I’m not having it about that, I am going to make it more with the update of what had happened.’ It is even better now.”
    Sam loves The Toon
    SAM Fender has gone back to his roots by debuting a new song to punters at a pub in his home town.

    Sam sang with his guitar at the same pub he first played before going on to scoop two Brit Awards and an Ivor Novello gong.
    Robert Webster, who hosts the weekly Low Lights Buskers Night, shared a snap of Sam captioned: “One of me very first Buskers from 8/9 years ago, got up!! Sam Fender. Sang a new song (you heard it here first).”
    Sam was first spotted performing at the Tyne and Wear pub, where he also worked at 18 as a barman, by Ben Howard’s manager Owain Davies.
    In 2019 Sam donated his Brit Critics Choice trophy to the pub to be turned into a beer pump before doing the same last year with his Best Alternative/Rock Act gong.
    If his last album is anything to go by, I can’t wait for this new one to hit the airwaves.
    Cash rolling in for Harry
    HARRY Styles has had his most successful year yet, banking a whopping £18.5million over 12 months thanks to the success of his hit records.

    And he is expected to have made even more in 2022 after scoring both the most successful single and album of the year in the UK.
    As It Was, which spent ten weeks at No1, was the biggest hit, while Harry’s House was the top album, according to Official Charts.
    He has also taken his hugely impressive Love On Tour around the world over the past 12 months and released the films My Policeman and Don’t Worry Darling, all of which is sure to have earned him a fortune.
    This year will see Harry get to work on his fourth studio album between more dates on his long-running tour.
    It will restart with three shows in California later this month, followed by concerts in Australia, New Zealand and Asia.
    This summer will see him return to the UK and Europe for yet more stadium gigs, finishing in Italy in July.
    Following his recent split from film-star-turned-director Olivia Wilde after almost two years, he had a quiet Christmas break back in Cheshire with his family.
    Given the mad year he had in 2022, the star can certainly afford to relax a bit now if he wants to.

    Adele told the crowd: “I’ve just got to get over to the other side of the stage. I have to ­waddle these days as I have really bad sciatica.”
    She had better hope it clears soon though or the rest of her year could be uncomfortable indeed.

    The Sun on Sunday revealed Defoe had begged a nurse for sex just a month after getting married.

    Defoe said at the time: “This is my future, this is forever, this is the person I want to spend the rest of my life with.”
    But in October, The Sun on Sunday revealed that Defoe had tried to lure a mum for a romp in the back of his Range Rover weeks after he wed.

    The couple were last pictured together eight weeks ago at a champagne bash for the former striker’s birthday.
    Prior to that they would regularly gush about each other on their Instagram pages, with holiday snaps and loving posts about “Mr and Mrs Defoe”.
    But for nearly two months there has been a noticeable silence. Defoe has only posted pictures of himself in St Lucia, without his wedding ring and with no mention of his wife.
    One of his followers speculated: “Bro getting divorced already.”

    Meanwhile, Donna has only posted pictures of herself and her family.
    She wished her 8,000 followers “all the love and happiness in the world”, beneath a picture of her 12-year-old daughter unwrapping Christmas presents.
    There was no mention of Defoe and one follower posted: “Are you and JD not together any more?”
    Days later Donna suggested in an Instagram story that she was glad to see the back of 2022 — and was “looking ahead” to the New Year.
    She also posted: “Some people will take you out of the rain and dry you off, some will stand with you and some will turn the rain into a hurricane.”
    Defoe met Donna in January 2021 when he was playing for Rangers and she asked him for a signed football shirt for a charity do. 
    The pair hit it off and Defoe proposed at a Glasgow hotel seven months later.
    He spelled out “Marry me” with lights in their penthouse suite, which he decorated with heart-shaped balloons and rose petals, and got down on one knee to pop the question.
    Their wedding last June was attended by 360 guests, including former England stars Ledley King, Shaun Wright-Phillips and Carlton Cole.

    The pair chose the swanky 376-acre Cliveden House for a three-day wedding extravaganza, after Defoe read that  Meghan had stayed there on the eve of her marriage to  Prince Harry.
    Defoe wore a cream jacket, black trousers and a bow tie, and said his “eyes just started welling up” when he saw Donna approaching the altar. 
    Their first dance was to Luther Vandross’s Always and Forever.
    The celebrations lasted until 7am and included fire-eaters, flamethrowers, a Caribbean buffet and a makeshift nightclub.
    But within weeks of the wedding he was messaging a nurse and asking her to meet for sex.
    The nurse, who we are not naming, claims that Defoe, who has been dogged by cheating rumours in the past, called her last month insisting she listen to what he had to say — but she quickly hung up.
    She said of his marriage troubles: “Donna must have known what he was like when she got with him — surely she looked this man up. He was messaging me within days of getting married to her.
    “As soon as I heard his voice on the phone last month I hung up. I’m so happy to be done and dusted with all of it.
    “It doesn’t matter who he is or how much money he’s got, there’s no way I’d be in a relationship with a man like him.”

    Defoe scored 20 goals in 57 games for England. 
    His career included spells at West Ham, Spurs, Rangers and Sunderland. 
    He retired in March last year and is now a youth academy coach and ambassador for Spurs. He also appeared as a pundit on Channel 4’s coverage of England’s matches last year.
    His agents were approached for comment.
