Shakira has opened up about her emotional resilience following her split from Gerard Piqué. During her promotional activities for her latest song, “Dai Dai,” the official track for the 2026 World Cup, she shared insights with People magazine regarding her personal life.
Facing Life After a Difficult Split
The renowned singer revealed that the aftermath of her separation was challenging. She stated, “When your world crumbles, you have to rise, pay the bills, prepare breakfast, and take your kids to school. Life must go on.” Shakira emphasized how motherhood transformed her perspective. Her two children, Milán and Sasha, have served as her motivation to move forward.
The Power of Motherhood
Shakira acknowledged that becoming a mother has made her stronger. “Since I became a mom, I view life differently. My children are not just my greatest achievement; I learn from them every day,” she remarked.
Support from Friends and Life Lessons
Throughout this challenging journey, Shakira expressed gratitude towards her close circle for their unwavering support. She commented, “Life can be tough, but it’s worth living because friends are there for you.” She also shared that painful experiences provide valuable life lessons, saying, “I appreciate the lessons that life gives you, even from those who leave scars, as they make us better.”
Musical Catharsis
Shakira’s feelings of heartbreak were first publicly expressed in her collaboration with Argentine producer Bizarrap in the song “Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 53.” This track, which addressed Piqué’s alleged infidelity, became an international success and inspired her “Las mujeres ya no lloran” World Tour. Shakira described the songwriting process as therapeutic, stating, “It was pure catharsis. I needed to write candidly about my experiences without any censorship.”
On Relationships and Future Aspirations
Since her divorce, Shakira has been linked to public figures like NBA star Jimmy Butler and Formula 1 driver Lewis Hamilton. However, she clarified that her focus remains on raising her children. “I’m not thinking about romance right now. Perhaps when they are older,” she concluded.
