This could be one of the biggest celebrity splits in 2017. According to Spanish website Cotilleo, Shakira and her partner, Gerard Piqué have called it quits after six years and two kids together.

A source told the Spanish outfit that it was the Colombian singer who instigated the split and ever since then her footballer beau has 'moved out' of their Barcelona home.

'It's something serious and she has been the one who has finally made the decision,' the source told Spanish website Cotilleo.

The source added that singer Shakira, who has two young sons Milan, 4, and Sasha, 2, with the Barcelona star, 'could no longer cope with the situation.'

The sad news comes after Pique, a Barcelona-born sportsman who was booed by fans when he turned out for the Spanish national team on Monday, tweeted his support for Catalan independence, following this week's controversial referendum. 

In April the 'Hips Don't Lie" hitmaker released a song about her beau called "Me Enamore." "With you, I would have ten children," she sings.

The couple were last seen together in June at the wedding of Lionel Messi and his childhood sweetheart Antonella Roccuzzo in Argentina.
