Gerard Pique is reportedly about to announce his "engagement" to girlfriend Clara Chia (Details)

Following his bitter split from superstar singer Shakira, Gerard Pique is reportedly about to announce his "engagement" to girlfriend Clara Chia.

According to people familiar with Clara Chia and Pique, the couple intends to wed within the next month.

Spanish media were told by the source:

'Gerard Pique and Clara Chia are going to get married.

'The ex-footballer and his girlfriend have taken this very important decision.

'They have also planned the ideal moment to make the good news public. The announcement will be made on another important date for Pique, the wedding of his brother Marc who is going to marry his childhood sweetheart Maria on June 24.'

After the footballer split from Shakira last year, the couple came out about their relationship. They haven't been afraid to show off their love.

Shakira emotionally discussed relationships earlier this month, discussing her heartbreaking breakup with the Spanish former football player.

She stated in her speech at the inaugural Women in Latin Music gala: Whether someone is faithful or not matters less; Whether you continue to be true to yourself is what really matters.

Music helped me find my way back to who I was when I was most lost. Every woman comes to a point in her life when she is no longer dependent on anyone to love or accept her as she is.

She said:

'The search for the other is replaced by the search for oneself when the desire to be perfect is replaced by the desire to be authentic.'

Shakira addressed all women and declared, collectively, that "women are much stronger than we think." We are more courageous than we think. Additionally, I believe we are more self-reliant than we were taught to be.

"What woman hasn't experienced the experience of looking for others' attention, affection, or approval and forgetting about herself?" I've experienced it.'

In the meantime, rumors of Shakira's romance with Formula One driver Lewis Hamilton have circulated.

Since the singer split from her former partner, 36-year-old Gerard Piqué, the driver, 38, and the singer have been spotted together a number of times.

They were spotted going on boat rides with friends in Miami, and they also dined in Barcelona.
