Shakira and Gerard Pique keep awkward distance as they cheer on son Milan, 9, at baseball game after pair’s bitter split
POP STAR Shakira and footballer ex-boyfriend Gerard Pique sat at a safe distance as they watched their son play baseball.
The celebrity former couple headed separately to the Spanish city of Valencia to cheer on nine-year-old Milan.
Barcelona defender Pique, 35, and Shakira split back in June after 12 years together following reports from Spanish press that the footy ace had been unfaithful to the Hips Don't Lie singer.
For the sake of Milan and their other son Sasha, seven, it's claimed the pair are trying to stay friends.
Yet they decided to sit awkwardly away from each other as they watched Milan in action.
Shakira, 45, donned a stylish denim jacket and white bucket hat for the game.
