Following a 12-year relationship, Shakira found solace in single life, which she deemed essential for her well-being. In a recent interview with Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1, the singer shared how her separation from ex-partner Gerard Pique in 2022 has positively influenced her music career. “Being without a husband is surprisingly liberating. It’s like a weight lifted off my shoulders,” Shakira disclosed during the conversation.
Over their decade-long partnership, Shakira and Gerard Pique welcomed two sons, Milan and Sasha. Reflecting on her past struggles, Shakira discussed the challenges of balancing her work with her family life. “My relationship with my work was complicated during that time. I often found myself torn between my professional commitments and my family responsibilities,” she explained, highlighting the conflicts she faced when summoned to the studio.
Even amidst the difficulties of being a single mother and managing both work and family, Shakira expressed a newfound motivation to compose music. “I have this urge to write songs and create music now. It’s a strong impulse that I didn’t experience previously,” she disclosed.
Shakira and Gerard announced their separation through a joint statement on June 4, 2022, expressing regret over the decision. In the statement, they emphasized the importance of prioritizing the well-being of their children and requested privacy during this challenging time. By September 2022, Shakira discussed the difficulties of the breakup in an interview with Elle, recognizing that music had provided solace during her most difficult moments.
The former couple initially met in 2010 when Gerard featured in a music video for the World Cup. They publicly confirmed their relationship via social media in March 2011 and made their first appearance together on the red carpet in January 2012. Their family grew with the arrival of Milan in January 2013 and Sasha in January 2015.
However, in January 2020, Shakira expressed her apprehension about marriage to Gerard, citing fear as a significant factor. She confessed, “Honestly, the idea of marriage terrifies me. I prefer him to see me as his girlfriend, his lover. It’s like maintaining a bit of mystery, you know? I want to keep him guessing, to believe that anything is possible based on our actions.”
