Harsh statement from Joan, Gerard Piqué's father: it's serious and could get worse soon

Gerard Piqué is making headlines again, but this time not because of his relationship with Clara Chía or his business ventures with Kings League. The focus is now on his family, especially his father, Joan Piqué, and his mother, Montserrat Bernabéu. It has been reported that they are upset about the custody agreement he keeps with Shakira regarding their children.

They believe the agreement is unfair, harmful, and, above all, very painful. So much so that they have already told those close to them that the situation is serious and that it could get even worse over time.

Gerard Piqué's parents express their rejection of the situation

After the highly publicized separation of Shakira and Gerard Piqué in 2022, they have been forced to reach agreements regarding the custody of their two children. Although the breakup was surrounded by controversy and songs from the Colombian singer directed at him and his girlfriend, Clara Chía, both made a decision. Specifically, the children would live with Shakira in Miami, while he would continue seeing them regularly.

This decision meant a radical change for the Piqué family. Joan and Montserrat, Milan and Sasha's paternal grandparents, went from sharing frequent moments with their grandchildren to seeing them only occasionally. As Silvia Taulés explains in Vanitatis, they had already warned Gerard "that it was terrible for him, that he should say no."

Despite the warnings, the former footballer accepted the deal. At first, he stayed in Barcelona, keeping to the agreed visitation schedule, but the distance was too much. That's why, a few months ago, he decided to move to Florida as well, in an attempt to make up for lost time with his children.

Even so, the change hasn't solved the underlying conflict. The Piqué family still feels excluded. According to reports, both Gerard's father and his mother keep a strong emotional bond with their grandchildren, and the distance has affected them more than they imagined.

They can no longer attend their games, birthdays, or school events as they used to. They see Milan and Sasha less, and they say "it weighs on them" deeply. For them, this separation isn't temporary, but the beginning of a new family reality that relegates them to the background.

What worries them most is that the situation could get worse over time. The children are already fully integrated into life in Florida, they have friends, routines, and studies. When they grow up, they'll make more decisions for themselves, and it's possible that they'll even further reduce their ties with Spain.

Joan and Montserrat fear that the emotional bond they built with their grandchildren will end up fading away, something they experience as a real loss. Although they've tried to keep in touch, the barrier of distance and the dynamics imposed by the agreement don't make it easy for them.

Gerard Piqué, between the agreement with Shakira and his family's discontent

The situation puts Gerard Piqué in a complicated position. On one hand, he must keep to the agreement with Shakira to ensure his children's emotional stability. On the other, he faces the pain and disappointment of his own parents, who feel they've been pushed out of the children's lives.

It's clear that the former footballer wanted to do the right thing and avoid further legal battles. He even sacrificed some of his comfort and changed his residence to the United States to be close to Milan and Sasha. However, that hasn't been enough for his family to experience this new reality with peace of mind.

Although Joan Piqué hasn't made a direct public statement, the message conveyed by those around him is clear. He and his wife are hurt and saddened. The possibility that everything could get worse over time is a constant fear.

The story between Gerard Piqué and Shakira, which began as a modern fairy tale, has turned into a complex emotional and legal web. Now, the collateral effects are strongly impacting their loved ones.

Joan Piqué's harsh symbolic statement makes it clear that there are open wounds that haven't healed yet. What's most concerning is that the situation, far from stabilizing, could become even more complicated.
