Shakira has been one of the most acclaimed international stars with the most successes behind her for more than 30 years. Since her breakup with Gerard Piqué, the singer has been in the forefront through her new songs and rumors of relationships with several well-known people.

The pilot Lewis Hamilton, the singer Alejandro Sanz, the actor Tom Cruise, and the NBA star Jimmy Butler, have been some of the men who have been linked by the press to the singer at some point. However, in this new stage of her life, she wanted to make it clear who her true love is.

Shakira has taken advantage of her Instagram account to make it clear to her almost 90 million followers how much she loves her father. With a never-before-seen photograph, the singer congratulated William Mebarak, 92, on her birthday.

“Happy birthday to my best friend and the love of my life,” said the Colombian. With this, he not only makes clear the affection he professes for her father, but also how much he means to her. It is not surprising, having been one of her pillars to overcome the difficult moment she went through with her breakup with the footballer.

However, and although it was a nice gesture that has touched many of his fans, it has generated controversy on social networks due to the filter chosen for the photograph. Several followers wanted to make clear through their comments the shock they received when seeing the image in black and white.

“For a moment I was scared because the photo was in black and white! Happy Birthday to Mr. William!”, “Shaki mom, don’t scare us with that black and white photo”, or “With that photo I thought his father had died. ..”, are some of these comments.

The singer has never hesitated to publish through her networks how much she loves him. And Shakira is trying to enjoy her father as much as possible due to the scares she has had in recent months. William Mebarak has had to be admitted to the hospital on several occasions and is in a delicate state of health.

Something that was attached to the difficult moment of their breakup. “I found out from the press that she had been betrayed while my father was in the ICU. I thought she would not survive so much,” she said in one of her interviews.
