Shakira on Sunday showered praises on Spanish footballer and Barcelona centre-back Gerard Piqué who played his 600th match.
Taking to Instagram, the Waka-Waka singer shared her partner's picture with a lengthy Spanish language note.
Shakira and Gerard have been together since 2011.
She wrote: "You are made of a material that only God knows and for me you are the best example of struggle, perseverance and sincerity for our children.
These years with you I have realized that you came to this world to change paradigms.
You have so much left to give us!
In football and in so many other aspects of your extraordinary life;
Because there is not, nor will there be another Gerard Piqué. An exceptional human being."
