Football star Gerard Piqué and multi-award-winning singer Shakira are enjoying an idyllic family vacation with their children in Maldives.

The Colombian singer and the Barcelona star have been sharing with their millions of fans on social networks details of the unforgettable days they have been spending with their children Milan and Sasha in Waldorf Astoria Maldives Ithaafushi resort.

The visit comes days after reports emerged that Piqué was considering leaving Barcelona.

Barca were beaten 8-2 by Bayern Munich in the Champions League quarter-finals on August 16.

Piqué and Shakira first met in the spring of 2010, when he appeared in the music video for Shakira’s song “Waka Waka (This Time for Africa)”, the official song of the 2010 FIFA World Cup.

Shakira gave birth to the couple’s first son Milan on January 22, 2013 in Barcelona, where the family had taken up residence. Their second son Sasha was born on January 29, 2015.

Forbes listed Shakira and Piqué in their list of “World’s Most Powerful Couples”.
