Pop star Shakira has disclosed that she gave everything in her relationship with Gerard Piqué, but their marriage ultimately failed in 2022 primarily due to cheating by the former Barcelona ace defender.
Shakira and Pique in their 11 years love affair had two sons Milan 11 and Sasha 9. The 47-year-old singer said during an interview with the Sunday Times of London that she had to put her career on hold, to take care of the family and see to the needs of Pique.
“For a long time, I put my career on hold, to be next to Gerard, so he could play football. There was a lot of sacrifice for love,” Shakira said ahead of the release of her first album in seven years – Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran, which translates to Women No Longer Cry.
“There were so many pieces of my life that crumbled in front of my eyes and I had to rebuild myself in a way, picking up the bones from the floor and putting them all together. And the glue that kept it all together was music.”
A track in the album titled Ultima (Last) had her singing “Surely with time you’ll regret it / And someday you’ll want to come back to my door”,
Asked if this was also in relation to Pique, she replied: “Voldemort, that one that shouldn’t be mentioned? It’s hopefully the last song that I will write about this, and to him.”
