Were Shakira and Gerard Pique filming their private moment in bed? The Colombian singer and the professional soccer player were recently reported being extorted over their sex tape that they made themselves.

It's additionally claimed that the couple was threatened by a former employee who would release the video if they didn't give him/her a "big sum of money" in return. The said homemade video allegedly contained "erotic content" of the pair.

However, the rumors have been debunked by a rep for Pique who told Sportsmail that there's no truth to the story. Thus, the longtime lovers who already have two sons, 2-year-old Milan and 11-month-old Sasha, have nothing to worry about and can focus on raising their kids.

Rumors of Shakira and Pique's sex tape came just two weeks after Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema was formally charged in France for allegedly blackmailing French teammate Mathieu Valbuena over a sex tape. Benzema has denied involvement in the case, but he faces up to five years in prison if convicted.

Pique himself is currently playing for FC Barcelona.
