More recently, Shakira opened up about her and Gerard’s split, declaring it was “incredibly difficult.”
“It’s hard to talk about it, especially because I’m still going through it,” the 45-year-old told Elle in September. “And because I’m in the public eye and because our separation is not like a regular separation. And so, it’s been tough not only for me, but also for my kids.”
While Gerard has not publicly spoken out on their split since, he did appear to mock Shakira’s lyrics by declaring he had a deal made where Casio would be the sponsor of his project King’s League, per People. Despite Gerard’s claim, Casio later issued a statement, which, translated to English, denied “any agreement for this sponsorship or interest in making it happen.”
