Gerard Piqué went from one side of the age-gap discussion to the other. Sharing the same birthday, Shakira is exactly 10 years older than Piqué. Clara Chia Marti, on the other hand, is 12 years younger. In April, the retired soccer star, then 36, celebrated his girlfriend’s 24th birthday during an Abu Dhabi getaway, the Daily Mail reported. The age difference didn’t go unnoticed by Shakira. “I’m worth two 22-year-olds / You traded in a Ferrari for a Twingo / You traded in a Rolex for a Casio,” her “BZRP Music Session #53” song reads.
For obvious reasons, the age difference bothers Piqué a lot less than it does his ex. Piqué is even said to be cherishing the youthfulness Marti has brought to his life. “I feel younger,” he reportedly said, a source told Caras magazine. Marti is also helping Piqué look his best by aiding with his fashion choices. “The truth is I go with my girlfriend to the shops and she buys them for me. I’m a puppet,” he said in a February interview with a Spanish streamer, Page Six reported.

In addition to being much younger than Piqué, Marti is also his subordinate. After Piqué met Marti at a club where she worked as a bartender, he got her — who was then a PR student — a job at the PR department of Kosmos, his sports production company, People en Español reported in January.
