An Unexpected Meeting in Los Angeles

It has been three years since Shakira and Gerard Piqué announced their separation—a piece of news that shook the world.

The breakup was not only marked by controversy but also by the public exposure of the former soccer player alongside his new partner, Clara Chía.

In that context, TV host Lili Estefan did not hesitate to openly criticize him on her show El gordo y la flaca.

Now fate brought them face to face in Los Angeles. Estefan recounted the moment while covering the movie Freaky Friday at the Four Seasons Hotel.

According to her account, Piqué approached her in a friendly tone while Clara stayed inside a van without getting out.

“I ran into him in Los Angeles and he came over to ask me something… I spoke with him for a little while. He didn’t strike me as unpleasant, but I don’t know him,” said the host.

This was reported by People en Español.

During their conversation, Lili kept a firm but cordial stance. She stressed that she had nothing personal against him, although she disagreed with the way he handled his breakup with Shakira.

“I told him: ‘Piqué, we don’t love you, and we don’t hate you, simply…’” she recalled—making clear that her opinion remains critical of how quickly he went public with his relationship with Clara.

Clara’s reaction was different. According to Lili, the young Catalan showed no interest in interacting and stayed inside the vehicle.

This contrasted with Piqué’s attitude, since he at least took the step to greet her.

The Followers’ Response

Lili Estefan’s story sparked intense debate on social media, especially on Instagram. Hundreds of users shared their views.

Some openly supported her: “Very good, Lili,” commented lidia_fierr0. Meanwhile, erikatamara1404 wrote: “Hahaha, I support you Lili.”

Others were more critical, like moraima_londono, who remarked: “That’s already in the past, Raúl is right, leave that man alone.”

The division of opinions was evident. Some recalled the pain Shakira went through, such as c.andrew.lop, who commented: “He keeps making moves to get under Shakira’s skin… a taste of his own medicine.” Others asked for the issue to be dropped. Yet there were also those who took sides directly: “Shut up Raúl, most of us are with Shakira and Bravo for Lili,” wrote 1979bamby.

What This Encounter Means

Although the exchange was brief and without confrontation, it showed how the separation of Shakira and Piqué still sparks public and emotional conversation among followers.

For many, Clara Chía remains in the background, while Lili Estefan reaffirmed that her opinion hasn’t changed, even if she opted for cordiality in person.

Beyond the encounter, what remains clear is that the story still stirs strong feelings, and every gesture from those involved—years later—is still scrutinized by fans and the media.
