Celebrity couple Shakira and Pique holidaying in the Maldives

Popstar Shakira and FC Barcelona football star Gerard Pique are in the Maldives for holidays.

Along with the celebrity power couple, their sons Sasha and Milan are also with them in the Maldives. Sun has been informed that the family is spending their holidays at the Waldorf Astoria Maldives Ithaafushi resort. 

Shakira and Pique may just be the most famous couple to visit the Maldives after the country reopened its borders on July 15. The world-renowned tourist destination went into lockdown following the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. Borders reopened under strict safety measures and requirements that are to be fulfilled by every tourist establishment to ensure the safety of guests. 

Although the virus is still present in the country, cases are very much restricted to the inhabited capital of Male’ City where tourists are not permitted to visit yet. Under the safety measures, tourists are also not permitted from leaving the resorts of safaris where they made their bookings, for their own safety.

This is not the first time the football star and his arguably more famous partner had visited the Maldives. The superstar pair first met on the set of Shakira's “Waka Waka” music video in 2010, which she was filming in honor of the 2010 FIFA World Cup. They have been together for almost 10 years.

The Maldives is often touted as one of the most preferred destinations for isolated island vacations and is very popular among celebrities and public figures.
