It was in June 2022 when Shakira surprised everyone by releasing a statement in which she revealed her breakup with Gerard Piqué, father of her two children, Sasha and Milan. The couple, who had a relationship for around a decade, were then involved in one of the most relevant media breakups in recent times. The performer of songs like Suerte or Waka Waka took refuge in music to heal, and that was when she released a whole arsenal of songs full of hints to her ex-partner and his new partner, Clara Chía. Now, almost two years later, the one from Barranquilla has opened up and revealed some details about this breakup.
The statements occurred in an interview with The Times, just a week before the release of her new album, Women No Longer Cry. It is an album that was born from pain after the breakup with the father of her children. Precisely, she was honest with the media about them. “They know that there is only one way to live and that is to accept pain and each of us has different ways of doing it,” he expressed, about what the little ones thought after listening to the controversial lyrics of the Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 53, loaded of hints to the former footballer and his current partner.
Regarding the little ones, he has also revealed some details, such as, for example, that his first-born son has inherited his mother’s talent for music. “When her father and I were going through this separation process, Milan wrote two incredible songs, the kind that make you cry,” said the Colombian. It should be noted that, in fact, the little ones were part of the official video clip for Acróstico, the song that came to light when ‘Shak’ and his children moved permanently to Miami after residing in Barcelona since the birth of the little ones.
Precisely about his time in Spain he also opened up. It is worth remembering that ‘Shak’ lived in Miami, where he developed a large part of his professional career, when he met Gerard Piqué. “There were many sacrifices for love. For a long time, I put everything aside to be by Gerard’s side so that he could play football,” he told The Times.
Now the interpreter of Te felicito and Monotonía couldn’t be happier after having taken the reins of her professional career after seven years without releasing a new album. Her fans couldn’t be happier either, who finally have her favorite artist back. The next album comes out on March 22, and will be composed of 16 songs in Spanish that contain the rhythms of pop, reggaeton, ballads and electronica.
For this album, Shakira has had the collaboration of other artists such as Bizarrap, Ozuna, Karol G, Cardi B, Grupo Frontera, Rauw Alejandro, Fuerza Regida and Manuel Turizo. The artist is also expected to go on tour. “I think my new tour will be the tour of my life. I’m very excited,” she said in an interview with Billboard a few months ago. Without a doubt, Barranquilla is in a new era.
