“This is really hard to talk about personally, especially as this is the first time I’ve ever addressed this situation in an interview,” the “Hips Don’t Lie” singer. “I’ve remained quiet and just tried to process it all. … It’s hard to talk about it, especially because I’m still going through it, and because I’m in the public eye and because our separation is not like a regular separation.”
“We regret to confirm that we are separating,” the now-exes — who never married amid their longtime relationship —has been candid about dealing with heartbreak. Shakira and the former FC Barcelona athlete, who began dating in 2011, announced three months earlier that they had separated.Shakira and Piqué share sons Milan, born in 2013, and Sasha, born in 2015“For a long time I put my career on hold, to be next to Gerard , so he could play football,” Shakira told The Sunday Times in March 2024. “There was a lot of sacrifice for love.”
“Empathy is key in an artist’s work. An athlete is in a constant state of war and has to avoid empathy at all costs,” she explained. “That’s why it’s probably a really bad idea for an artist to hook up with an athlete. I don’t know what I need .”“It’s been tough not only for me, but also for my kids,” the “Waka Waka” singer toldthree months after the breakup. “Incredibly difficult. … I’ve tried to conceal the situation in front of my kids.
