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.

'I've known Cristiano Ronaldo for years – I can't accept claim on Lionel Messi'
Real Madrid icon Marcelo, who played alongside Cristiano Ronaldo and faced Lionel Messi multiple times, has shared his thoughts on who is the greatest footballer of all time Real Madrid legend Marcelo has refused to label Lionel Messi the greatest footballer of all time. He witnessed the Argentinian maestro's magic up close during his peak years at Barcelona. The Brazilian left-back, who faced off against Messi in 30 fiery El Clasicos and saw him net 21 goals, also observed the intense rivalry between Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo as they vied for the title of the world's top player. In their prime, the pair dominated the Ballon d'Or award. Messi has won the trophy eight times to Ronaldo's five. However, Real Madrid hero Marcelo hesitated to declare Messi the sport's best-ever player after the statement was put to him during an appearance on La Revuelta. Presenter David Broncano suggested that Marcelo had encountered the sport's finest in Messi, but the defender responded: "Well, I appreciate him a lot. He's an excellent player, he's unbelievable. I couldn't even see him pass. He's very quick. "It's difficult to choose the best in history. What about those who have played before? Maradona, Pele, Di Stefano, Cruyff..." Marcelo soon began to reflect on the incredible competitiveness between Ronaldo and Messi during their time together in La Liga. The former Brazil international argued that their intense rivalry somewhat overshadowed their individual brilliance. "We are fortunate to have played in the same era as Cristiano and Messi," he said. However, Marcelo was clear about what Ronaldo thought of Messi during his time in Spain. "Cristiano thinks he is better. He has said so," Marcelo said. "Remember that there was a time when it was really difficult because if Messi scored two, Cristiano had to score three. If Cristiano scored three, Messi had to score four. 'We've seen this live, and we've enjoyed it a lot. Many people want to compare them, but they forget to enjoy that.' The Brazilian defender clinched six La Liga titles and five Champions League trophies with Real Madrid. He may have won more if it hadn't been for a Messi-inspired Barcelona. The Argentine won 10 league titles and four Champions Leagues during his spell at the Camp Nou. Despite the two clubs' fierce rivalry, Marcelo revealed his bond with several Barca legends. "I get on very well with some Barça players," he said. "Piqué is very genuine, very honest. I like people to be sincere. I have a lot of respect for Puyol, Iniesta, Xavi. Guardiola's era was complicated. We had to try to have the ball, but it was very difficult." Meanwhile, Ronaldo and Messi continue to build on their legacies in the twilight years of their respective careers. Ronaldo recently celebrated Portugal winning the Nations League and will aim to lead his nation at next year's World Cup. Messi's immediate focus is on helping Inter Miami advance in the Club World Cup. Javier Mascherano's team drew their opening match with Egyptian side Al-Ahly on Sunday. The club face Porto on Thursday before concluding their group phase against Palmeiras next Tuesday.
