Shakira is now talking about her past year, which she admits has not been easy. In the last year, she has seen her relationship with Gerard Piqué, with whom she has two children fall apart. She was also dealing with her father’s treatment after a nearly fatal accident. Both of these incidents occurring at the same time did not help the matter either.
In a recent interaction with People, the star singer stated that when her father came to console her following her split from her partner Gerard Piqué, he had met with an accident. The accident was so terrible that he was hospitalised and required her constant care.
During this period, the Wakka Wakkasinger had to find out about her partner’s betrayal. While Shakira was dealing with her father’s health, her ex-boyfriend was cheating on her with Clara Chia Marti, with whom he is now engaged.
Her father’s failing health and her boyfriend’s betrayal seemed to weigh heavily on the Hips Don’t Lie singer’s emotions.
Shakira was quick to confess that her recovery had not been simple and had been a hard and painful journey, but her will to overcome them has given her enormous strength.
Shakira and her family were delighted to be able to celebrate her dad’s 91st birthday in September. While she regrets that she could never have a loving marriage of her own, she hopes that her kids would see their grandparents as an example of a marriage based on a strong foundation, trust and resilience.
