1 Jun
Summary
- Shakira's 11-year relationship ended abruptly in June 2022.
- Her father's severe fall occurred during her son's First Communion.
- Friends like Chris Martin offered support during her difficult period.
The end of Shakira's 11-year relationship with Gerard Piqué in June 2022 was sudden and deeply painful. She described it as the dissolution of the family she had envisioned forever. Adding to her distress, her father experienced a severe fall at her son Milan's First Communion, placing him in a position of needing her care during her own personal crisis.
Despite the public narrative focusing on the breakup's aftermath, including music and legal battles, Shakira reveals the ongoing process of healing. She acknowledges the significant pain but notes it has unexpectedly led to greater wisdom and strength. This challenging period has fostered a surprising sense of gratitude for Piqué as the father of her children and for the mother she has become.
Shakira found solace and support from friends during this time. Chris Martin famously sent her a photograph of a mended vase with a message of impending strength, while Adele also offered her backing. The Grammy-winning album 'Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran' (Women No Longer Cry), released in February 2025, earned Best Latin Pop Album and embodies her journey through adversity.
