There are many ways to get kicked off of a professional sports team, but ... dating a celebrity?
Singer Shakira’s swinging hips could become trouble for her boyfriend, Spanish soccer player Gerard Piqué.
Piqué plays for both the Spanish national team and for FC Barcelona, and Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola is allegedly threatening to leave the team if the 25-year-old star defender doesn’t get the boot first.
According to reports, Guardiola isn’t exactly thrilled with the influence of the Latin pop star on his player’s game, deeming Shakira “too big of a distraction” for Piqué.
A headline on NESN.com calls Shakira the club's "Yoko Ono," and the story says problems began when Pique posted photos of himself vacationing with Shakira last summer.
"In the pictures, he was white-water rafting; an activity not allowed by the team," NESN reports. "He had been late to training as recently as October and has consistently broken team rules.”
Piqué may have nothing to worry about, as the team reportedly can replace the coach easier than it can a talented player. The soccer star previously proved his worth as a key player when Spain won the 2010 World Cup. He began dating Shakira that same year, and was featured in her World Cup-themed music video for “Waka Waka (This Time for Africa).”
