Shakira is opening up like never before about the emotional aftermath of her breakup with former football star Gerard Piqué.
Nearly four years after their split, the global music icon revealed that romance is no longer a priority in her life. Instead, she is fully focused on raising her two sons and rebuilding her career after one of the most painful chapters she has ever experienced.
In a recent interview with The Times, Shakira admitted that she currently has no emotional space for dating.
“I don’t have time for romance right now. My children are my priority, along with my career,” the singer shared.
The couple officially separated in 2022 after more than a decade together. Their breakup quickly became one of the most talked-about celebrity separations in the world, especially amid reports that Piqué had moved on with Clara Chía shortly after the split.
While the media focused heavily on the drama surrounding their relationship, Shakira quietly faced several personal struggles behind the scenes. At the same time as the breakup, her father suffered serious health complications following a dangerous fall.
The singer described that period as the “darkest moment” of her life, explaining that the emotional pain ultimately helped her become stronger and more resilient.
Today, Shakira says she finds happiness in her music, motherhood, and personal growth. Fans around the world have praised the singer for her honesty and strength during such a difficult period.
