Piqué and Clara Chía spotted in US days before World Cup final where Shakira will perform

Gerard Piqué and his girlfriend Clara Chía Martí have been spotted in Los Angeles, fueling speculation about their potential attendance at the 2026 World Cup final. This sighting comes just days before the championship match, where Piqué's former partner, Shakira, is slated to perform during the halftime show. The juxtaposition of these events has generated significant buzz on social media.

Photographs captured by international agency Backgrid show the 39-year-old former FC Barcelona player and the 27-year-old Martí leaving Catch LA, an upscale seafood and steak restaurant in West Hollywood, California. The couple did not shy away from the cameras and even paused to interact with a fan who approached Piqué for an autograph on a Barcelona jersey. Martí reportedly assisted the fan, even taking a photo with the fan's phone.

While their presence in the United States does not confirm their attendance at the World Cup final, many social media users are speculating that this is the reason for their trip, as both Piqué and Martí reside in Madrid. However, some observers have noted that the photos were taken days before Spain's semifinal match against France, and the couple did not attend that game, casting doubt on their World Cup final plans.

Shakira, who shares two sons, Milan and Sasha, with Piqué, is reportedly preparing for her halftime performance at the World Cup final between Argentina and Spain. Her song "Dai Dai" is the official FIFA theme song for the tournament. The timing of Piqué and Martí's visit to the US, coinciding with Shakira's major performance, has added an extra layer of intrigue to the situation.
