"According to what a person very close to them has told me, there has been an economic problem between the two. Supposedly, Piqué would have asked Shakira for money for an investment issue and the singer's family has refused to give it to him. They don't mix their money and they keep the family economy at 50%."

It is however pertinent to note that no official confirmation was made by either Shakira or Gerard regarding the reason for parting ways.
