SHAKIRA and her footballer ex Gerard Pique were reportedly in an open relationship before the singer accused him of cheating, according to Spanish media.
A journalist has revealed the couple's alleged agreement after they had a "crisis meeting" about their relationship following the point of no return.
Spanish Journalist José Antonio Avilés told Marca: "They had an open relationship and three years ago the word "crisis" took on more weight.
"An event happened that was the key moment in this relationship. Something happened that marked a before and after."
José claims the two made an agreement to have an open relationship, saying "you do what you want and I do what I want".
Despite their agreement which meant they could date others, they kept up the "happy couple" persona in the media, he said.

The recent revelation has fed into rumours that Pique was seeing his now girlfriend Clara Chia Marti before he and Shakira split.
Even with their alleged agreement, the couple stayed together until they announced their shock split in June 2022 amid rumours he had been caught playing away.
The former Barcelona defender then revealed he was dating 24-year-old Clara Chia not long after the high-profile separation, fuelling further rumours of a possible affair.
However, the latest claim in their scandal-filled break up is that Pique was "surprised" by Shakira's public announcement of their split and that there was "no infidelity on his part".

Another journalist Pilar Vidal confirmed these claims, stating: "Pique does not want speculation that the reason for the breakup was infidelity.
"He was surprised by the statement, because the one who takes the initiative is her."
The Colombian singer reportedly worked out Pique was cheating after finding an empty jam jar in their fridge – a condiment she and her children do not eat.
The cryptic clue is said to have brought her to the conclusion that Pique had evidently had a secret guest over without her knowledge.
Other reports claimed she had recruited a team of private detectives to snoop on the footie ace in the hopes of confirming her suspicions.
Shakira recently relocated in April to Miami in a bombshell move with her two sons, Milan, 10, and Sasha, 8, after being said to be desperate for a clean break.
Her reported new beau Lewis Hamilton is also believed to have lifted her spirits following her public break up from Pique.
Now Spanish journalist Jordi Martin, who claims to have a friendship with Shakira, has revealed the two will jet off sometime soon.
Martin said: "Hamilton and Shakira are planning to go on holiday together and I already know the destination.
