While the Colombian was promoting her new album “women no longer cry,” the artist confessed the sacrifices she made out of love for the father of her children.
In the midst of promoting her new album “Women no longer cry,” Shakira has opened her heart to reveal details about her past with Gerard Piqué. The Colombian singer confessed in an interview with “The Sunday Times” that her desire to start a family and grow old with the former soccer player led her to stay away from the stage for more than a decade.
Despite having achieved global success with her hit “Waka Waka” in 2010, the official theme of the World Cup in South Africa, it was during the recording of the video for this song that she met Piqué. Shakira and the Catalan did not make their romance public until almost a year after their relationship.
Although her relationship with Piqué seemed solid, the absence of the “Acrostic” performer on stage generated controversy among her followers. The singer confessed that she prioritized her family and her partner over her career, even despite losing million-dollar opportunities. Now that she has been separated for almost 2 years, she thinks she never should have done it. Critical Voices Report.
“For a long time I put my career on hold to be by Gerard's side so he could play soccer,” Shakira said. For her, it was one of the greatest sacrifices out of love that she made out of the desire to replicate the lasting relationship of her parents, who have been together for more than 50 years.
The singer described her parents' love as unique and unrepeatable, and she made her decision motivated by the deep love she felt for Piqué and his children. Although she now returns to music with her new album, Shakira has shown that for her, love and family have always been priorities over professional success. Her story is a reminder of the power of love and the sacrifices we are willing to make for those we love most.
