The first red carpet that Shakira walks down hand in hand with Gerard Piqué during the Billboard Awards wasn't what caught the attention of the media last Sunday in Las Vegas, but rather the passionate and surprising kiss that the Colombian singer gave her partner after her performance, a koala kiss that left witnesses agape and which went viral on social networks shortly after.

After the Barcelona club lost the league title to Atlético de Madrid, the Catalan forward flew to Las Vegas to be with his girlfriend during the 2014 Billboard Awards ceremony, arriving hand in hand and walking down the MGM red carpet with a great smile which shows the love he has for the singer from Barranquilla.

In an interview on the red carpet, Piqué said that the red carpet thing isn't his kind of thing and he without a doubt prefers the turf of a soccer field; however, he was very happy and comfortable during his first red carpet with Shakira.

"Yes, she told me she had this thing today and we took the opportunity to walk down the red carpet together and enjoy," Piqué told Univisión.

It's not new that both Shakira and Piqué support each other in their projects. In repeated occassions, Shakira has been seen supporting Gerard from the skybox of stadiums in important matches for the footballer's career and without a doubt the 2014 Brazil World Cup will be a stage they will share while the Barcelona forward does his thing on the field along with Spain's national team.

Shakira assured that she's ready to travel to Brazil and between laughs, without letting her love's hand go, added that the only thing missing is their son Milan inside a suitcase, ready to travel.
