Gerard Piqué Shares Romantic Photos With His Girlfriend, Clara Chía Marti, in Arizona

THE RUNDOWN
Gerard Piqué confirmed his relationship with Clara Chía Marti in January 2023, just seven months after he and Shakira publicly ended their 11-year relationship. The former FC Barcelona soccer player shared a selfie with Marti on Instagram at the time, marking their first post together after months of dating rumors. Prior to that, the pair had already been seen together in public, beginning in August 2022.
Since going public, the couple has largely kept details of their relationship under wraps. Most recently, Piqué shared photos from a trip to Arizona, suggesting they're still together despite past speculation of a split.
Little is publicly known about Marti outside her relationship with Piqué. She is originally from Barcelona and was a public relations student in 2022, according to multiple outlets, including Marca and The Sun, but she has not given any interviews or made public statements herself.
Below, everything to know about Marti and her relationship with Piqué.
Three months after Piqué and Shakira confirmed their separation, he was photographed with Marti at the Summerfest Cerdanya music festival in Catalonia. A few days later, they appeared together again at a wedding in Costa Brava, where they were seen holding hands.
As of August 2022, Marti was reportedly employed in the public relations department of Kosmos, the sports and entertainment production company founded by Piqué. According to The Sun, sources said at the time, 'She is a student who also works for him in his office, organizing events.'
Despite her proximity to Piqué, Marti has largely avoided the spotlight. Her Instagram account is private with a limited number of followers, including Piqué himself.
Over the past three years, Marti and Piqué have taken several trips across Europe and beyond. They've been photographed in Monaco, Prague, Morocco, and, most recently, Arizona. According to Hola!, they visited Antelope Canyon in July 2025, and Piqué shared photos from the trip. One showed the couple kissing in front of the desert landscape. Piqué captioned the post simply, '🧡.'
In a February 2025 appearance on Spanish TV show La Revuelta, Piqué spoke about how his life has been transformed since beginning his relationship with Marti. 'I've changed styles, as you mentioned before,' he said. 'My style is different now; I'm doing better in both areas. We're always evolving.' He added, 'I'm really good—really.'
The couple became Instagram official in January 2023, when Piqué shared a selfie of the two without a caption.
A second photo followed in May of that year.
Since then, Marti has appeared occasionally in his feed, including during their trip to Abu Dhabi in October 2024 and to Arizona in July 2025.
Piqué is currently 38 years old, and Marti is 26. In April 2024, the couple celebrated her 25th birthday with a trip to Madrid for the King's League final per Hola!. They were photographed together at the airport.

The Katsuya in Century City Is Now Open and Ready for Expense Accounts

is the Lead Editor of the Southern California/Southwest region, and has covered dining, restaurants, food culture, and nightlife in Los Angeles since 2008. Japanese lounge restaurant Katsuya opened on July 25 in the former Century City Rock Sugar with a wide menu of sushi, sashimi, hot appetizers like rock shrimp tempura, and larger mains like miso black cod. The years-long build-out that was first announced in 2022 includes the newly opened Casa Dani, which was awarded a Michelin star in New York City, from lauded Spanish chef Dani Garcia. Okinawa-born chef Katsuya Uechi opened the first Katsuya in Studio City in 1997, in Studio City, joining the long history of California Japanese restaurants that serve the San Fernando Valley. He expanded to Brentwood with SBE in 2006, eventually growing to six other locations around the world, including Toronto, Miami, and the Bahamas. Katsuya also opened in Hollywood and L.A. Live (it also operated an outlet in Glendale, but it has since closed). Uechi runs a more independent collection of Japanese restaurants that include the Izakaya by Katsu-ya and Kiwami, but the Century City restaurant will fall under the SBE partnership that leans more into the sleek, high-design Nobu-esque category. High ceilings, a striking Japanese-inflected design, and a sprawling patio overlooking Santa Monica Boulevard define most of the tactile experience of the new Katsuya. A moody bar area lit like Japanese shoji windows leads up to charcoal-covered lamps looming over the dining room like the giant eyes of local spirits. Sleek wood beams intersect and break up the negative space while greenery shrouds the eye-level glass looking out to the patio. A stainless steel-backed sushi bar puts the chefs front and center for the dining room to behold, with dark speckled tables and pitch-black chairs spread over the floor. A more sunlit side lounge offers a good waiting area or happy hour hangout for office workers. The food is predictable and elegant, featuring Katsuya's most famous invention, crispy tuna rice. Slim slices of tuna tataki, salmon sashimi with soy citrus vinaigrette, and yellowtail jalapeño derived from the Matsuhisa playbook are good starters. Specialty rolls like the Century feature king crab, avocado, and wagyu sashimi topped with caviar and fresh truffle. Prices are expectedly to be on the higher end, with some rolls sitting at $59, but are probably within the expense account range of the high-end law firms and talent agencies in the restaurant's proximity — indulge if someone else is paying. Katsuya, like its Japanese lounge counterparts, isn't here to challenge diners with complexity. It's a slick place to catch a light-ish dinner with friends, co-workers, or clients in the comfy and curated confines of Century City, and is sure to be a hit in a neighborhood where a $59 sushi roll doesn't feel out of place. Katsuya is open daily from 11:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. and from 4:30 p.m. to 10 p.m. It's located at 10250 Santa Monica Boulevard, Suite 1799, Los Angeles, CA, 90067. Katsuya dining room.

Barcelona release statement following Marc-Andre ter Stegen surgery

Barcelona have confirmed that captain Marc-Andre ter Stegen has undergone surgery for a recurring back problem. There is plenty of intrigue surrounding his diagnosis, given the length of his injury could have a major impact on Barcelona's ability to register new players in the coming month. The German goalkeeper announced the decision last week, explaining that he would be out for three months, one month short of the required four-month period for Barcelona to activate La Liga's injury rule. That would allow them to use 80% of the amount of ter Stegen's salary limit cost towards other players on a temporary basis, with new additions Roony Bardghji, Marcus Rashford and Joan Garcia currently unregistered. Marc-Andre ter Stegen of FC Barcelona warms up during the Spanish league, La Liga EA Sports, football match played between Villarreal CF and FC Barcelona at La Ceramica stadium on September 22, 2024, in Valencia, Spain. AFP7 22/09/2024 ONLY FOR USE IN SPAIN No timeline given on recovery for ter Stegen It means their ability to do so may hinge on the medical report written up by surgeon Amelie Leglise, who operated on ter Stegen on Tuesday. That much was confirmed by Barcelona, but they did not give a recovery period. Barcelona to submit medical report to La Liga It had been suggested last week by another doctor that ter Stegen's announcement will have little impact on La Liga's ruling. The Blaugrana now have 30 days to submit a report to La Liga, as per MD. Four members of the medical commission for La Liga will then give the green light to the league on the report they receive, provided they perceive no issues. Barcelona were reportedly very unhappy with ter Stegen's announcement, seeing it as deliberate sabotage of their plans, and questions have been raised over his captaincy for next season.

Serena Page, Leah Kateb, and More ‘Love Island USA' Alums Weigh In on JaNa and Kenny's Split

They say you shouldn't take sides when your friends break if your friends are JaNa Craig and Kenny Rodriguez, this rule definitely does not apply. In the wake of JaNa and Kenny's breakup, several Love Island USA alums—including JaNa's besties and fellow season 6 stars Serena Page and Leah Kateb—have reacted to the news of the split on Instagram. JaNa and Kenny were one of the strongest couples to come out of Love Island USA season 6, and the two even star on Peacock's Beyond the Villa. Earlier this week, the two abruptly split and fellow Love Island USA alums began unfollowing Kenny, raising eyebrows and grabbing the attention of fans everywhere. To recap: JaNa confirmed the split in an Instagram story shared Tuesday, July 29, and while she didn't give a reason for the breakup, she did tell fans that it was 'terrible, disgusting, and disappointing.' Meanwhile, Kenny put out a statement of his own on Instagram, writing in part, 'Sometimes, despite how deeply you care for someone, you come to the hard truth that the relationship was not something that could last long-term.' You'll be shocked to learn that these vague platitudes did not help his case. In fact, Kenny's response prompted Charmane Smith (a close friend of JaNa's) to post on her page, seemingly implying that JaNa had found incriminating information on Kenny's phone with messages like, 'I don't like black women, I thought I would get more money from this, I'm faking this relationship, going on the show would be for clout, I can't wait to be done w this so I can fuck hella b*tches.' Charmane's Instagram has since been made private, but JaNa's other close friends—including Love Island USA season 6 alums Leah, Serena, Liv Walker, and Kaylor Martin—followed, calling Kenny out and publicly declaring themselves #TeamJaNa. Serena Page Comments on JaNa and Kenny's Split Serena (aka one of JaNa's best friends and member of the PPGs) kept things civil, asking fans to remember that 'it may just be tea for y'all but that's not the case for us.' That being said, she made it clear on which side she stands, writing, 'Y'all already know how I'm coming behind JaNa, and TRUST so does he.' Leah Kateb Calls Kenny 'Racist' on Instagram Leah Kateb—the third Power Puff Girl in season 6's Love Island USA trio—also weighed in on Instagram. Leah reposted JaNa's response to Kenny, in which she called her ex a 'manipulative liar,' and added her own two cents. '@kennyrodriguez Put a sock in it ChatGPT headass,' she wrote. 'Tell the truth for once! Racist, clout/money hungry and a scammer since Day 1!!!!!' She also sent a message of support to JaNa, telling fans not to worry, 'Our Nay is blessed and highly favored.' Leah followed up a bit later, sharing what appears to be a text from her to an unnamed recipient, saying, 'This is the month of clout chasers I guess??' On her Story, she annotated the text, crossing out 'chasers' and writing 'demons shall I say.' She also declared the events of the week, 'Mercury retrograde taking out the trash.' Liv Walker Exposes Kenny's 'Chat GPT' Statement Liv also criticized Kenny's statement, sharing it on her Instagram Stories. 'Your pathetic excuse for a story is laughable. I can't even put into words how good of a person Naynay is and how hard it is [to] watch her go through something like this,' she wrote. '@kennyrodriguez I hope this gives you the clout you always wanted you fucking loser.' Liv was so unimpressed by Kenny's statement that she decided to go straight to the source, asking Chat GPT if it thought AI had written Kenny's response. The answer, per her Instagram: 'Yes.' Kaylor Martin Calls Kenny 'A Poor Excuse of a Man' And of course, Kaylor also weighed in, sharing a screenshot of JaNa's response to Kenny and adding, '@kennyrodriguez is a poor excuse of a man. You lost the most beautiful genuine soul. Shame on you.' Kendall Washington Supports JaNa on Instagram Most of the Love Island USA season 6 men have yet to comment publicly, though almost all of them have unfollowed Kenny on Instagram. Kendall, however, showed his support for JaNa on Instagram, sharing a video of the two dancing together with the message, 'Love you forever Nay Nay.'
