Gerard Pique and Shakira dress up as Topo Gigio for bizarre family portrait

Never has the simple question 'What's going on here?' been more appropriate.

In literal terms, what you see in this picture is World Cup winning footballer Gerard Pique and his partner, international superstar singer Shakira, with their two children. They are sitting on a sofa dressed in pyjamas and have weird massive ear things on their heads. Pique does not look quite certain what is happening.

But, the question remains, what's going on here?

Well, it seems the Pique-Shakira family were simply getting into the spirit of Halloween. They are dressed as Topo Gigio, a popular Latin TV character. Or, as the story goes, 'the only mouse everyone wanted to cuddle'.

Shakira posted the image on her social media accounts along with the message: "La familia Topo Gigio!!"

Pique, who plays for Spanish champions Barcelona as well as the Spanish national side, met Shakira in 2010. The pair share the same birthday, but Shakira, whose hits include 'Waka Waka (This Time for Africa)' and 'Whenever, wherever', is 10 years Pique's senior. However seemingly neither of them is particularly grown up.
