The 45-year-old artist continues in the midst of the controversy surrounding the alleged fraud of 14.5 million euros. Recently, the Spanish newspaper El País revealed part of the shocking statements of the “Te Felicito” interpreter, in which she points out the “irreparable damage” the trial is causing to her reputation, as well as the unpublished details of her relationship with the former soccer player.

What did Shakira say in the Spanish courts?

One part of Shakira’s legal team’s strategy is to prove that she was not a permanent resident of Spain until 2015.

In her testimony, full of memories and emotions, the Colombian artist described her nomadic and unstable lifestyle, often traveling to different countries in the same day, as one of the prices she had to pay for her career and desire for fame.

He assured that in those years he was successful all over the world with his music and that he spent more time living in an airplane than any pilot.

The woman from Barranquilla spoke about her relationship with former footballer Gerard Piqué and stated that at the beginning of their romance there was a lot of insecurity and jealousy of Piqué towards Antonio de la Rúa, who was part of his work team.

“I’m starting to date him (Piqué) and, if I have some free time, I’d rather go see him than go to the Bahamas to find my ex. It was a situation that Gerard did not like at all. So, to alleviate Gerard’s jealousy a little, which was natural because we didn’t have a solid relationship, there was a lot of insecurity on both sides, and the wounds with my previous partner were open,” he revealed in statements reviewed by the Spanish media.

Shakira also spoke about the progress of her relationship with Piqué in front of the judge in charge of her case, saying that at first they saw each other a little, but then everything happened quickly.

“I was delighted with him. I remember the flight from Marrakech to Croatia. We were flying over Barcelona and I asked the pilot of the plane if I could land briefly just to kiss Gerard. It’s the most romantic thing I’ve ever done in my life. I don’t know if the Tax Agency will count it as one day in Spain,” he added, referring to the fact that people have to spend 183 days in the country, which is how long it takes to be considered a tax resident.

He also noted that he could not have imagined the life he would lead with Piqué, when he decided to strengthen his relationship with the footballer.

“When I started dating him in 2011, we hardly saw each other. He was 23 years old, 10 years younger than me. He was an attractive football player with a bad reputation at the time. It was a bit crazy. He is a great man now, but back then there was no guarantee that our relationship would work or that we would start a family. I never imagined that I would end up living in this country because of this amazing bearded guy.”

Shakira admitted that their relationship was difficult because of the differences between them, not only because of the age difference, but also because of the lifestyles they both had. From there, he mentioned that their romance was full of ups and downs because their careers “didn’t match” and it wasn’t something easy to bear.

He expressed that he was at a point in his life where he was exploring and traveling, while Piqué had a set routine.

As for life in Spain, she assured that Piqué was the only thing that kept her in the country, and that buying a house does not mean that she is a permanent resident.

“I buy and have houses in different places and for me they are not an obligation. I have houses in Uruguay, New York, Miami, Barranquilla, Nassau and Barcelona, ​​I like them because they are the most comfortable”, he specified in court.

However, she stressed that Spain was not always her first choice in terms of her personal life, knowing that as an international artist, her career could go downhill once she left North America.

“It’s a beautiful country, but it’s not the epicenter of the music industry. For me, being in Spain is a big sacrifice in terms of my professional success, because I don’t have access to the best artistic production, which is in the United States,” he pointed out. (AND)
