He made his new relationship with Marti, a college student studying public relations, Instagram-official in January. Ahead of their breakup, Shakira reportedly suspected that Piqué had been unfaithful after finding a jar of strawberry jam — a condiment neither he nor their sons eat — in their refrigerator after she returned home from traveling. The rumored stickiness of their separation notwithstanding, Shakira now claims to have become pleasantly “self-sufficient” since getting jilted by her ex of more than a decade. “I’ve always been emotionally quite dependent on men,” the “Waka Waka” crooner confessed during the interview.
