Pop star Shakira reflected on how her career took a back seat to her relationship with ex-partner Gerard Piqué during their 11 years together.
Shakira opened up about prioritizing her relationship with her ex-partner, Gerard Piqué, over her career during their 11 years together. The 47-year-old singer and the 37-year-old soccer star dated from 2011 to 2022 and share sons Milan, 11, and Sasha, 9. During a recent interview, Shakira reflected on how she gave up professional opportunities to spend time with Piqué while he was playing for FC Barcelona.
On March 22, the 'Whenever, Wherever' hitmaker will debut her first new album in seven years, 'Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran .' Since her separation from Piqué, she released a handful of new tracks, but her last full-length studio album, 'El Dorado,' arrived in 2017. Shakira told The Sunday Times she spent most of the past seven years between her two albums raising her children in Barcelona. After splitting with Piqué, she moved to Miami with Milan and Sasha.
She later admitted she had been 'betrayed' during an interview with People en Español. At the time of the split, her father had been 'gravely injured' in an accident. 'Everything happened at once. My home was falling apart,' she told the outlet. 'I was finding out through the press that I had been betrayed while my dad was in the ICU.
My priority was my home, my family. I believed in ‘till death do us part.’ I believed that dream, and I had that dream for myself, for my children,' she told Billboard. 'My parents have been together, I don’t know, 50 years, and they love each other like the first day, with a love that’s unique and unrepeatable. 'So, I know it’s possible. My mom doesn’t leave my father’s side. They still kiss on the mouth. And it has always been my example.
