Shakira Opens Up on Rough Year after Aplitting from Gerard Pique

Shakira opens up on rough year after splitting from Gerard Pique

 

Shakira is talking up about how “tough” life has been since her divorce from former Barcelona footballer Gerard Piqué.

The three-time Grammy winner and Piqué, 36, announced their breakup in a joint statement in June.

Shakira realized Piqué was having an affair when her jam disappeared and neither he nor their sons ate the fruit spread.

Piqué has since made his current girlfriend, Clara Chia Marti, public. In January, the couple made their romance Instagram-official with a selfie of them out to lunch.

Shakira released a song after the break up, and the song has since turned to a global hit, breaking several records in the process.

“I’ve had a very rough year after my separation, and writing this song [‘Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 53’] has been so important to me,” she shared on the “Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” Friday night. “It’s been a healthy way to channel my emotions.”

 

Shakira, 46, said that after she released the song, she felt how other women could relate to her situation with her ex.

“I really felt that I don’t even have fans out there,” she continued. “I have a sisterhood of women who have been through the same things that I have been through, who think the way I think, who feel the way I feel, who had to put up with so much crap the way I had to.”

The singer said she is glad to know so many women can relate to her experience.

“And I did write the song for me but also I feel that it was meant for so many women out there that needed a forum and a voice to represent them in so many ways.”

 

Shakira and Piqué met in 2010 on the set of her song “Waka Waka (This Time for Africa).” The following year, they confirmed their romance, sharing a snap of them together on Instagram with the former athlete’s arms wrapped around the singer.

The former couple shares sons, Milan, 10, and Sasha, 8.
