Shakira Opens Up About Prioritizing Relationship with Gerard Piqué Over Career

Despite their recent split, Shakira remains focused on her family, having moved to Miami with their two sons, Milan and Sasha. The couple first met in 2010 when Piqué appeared in Shakira’s music video for “Waka Waka,” the official song of the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa.

Following their separation in June 2022 amid speculation of infidelity, Shakira revealed feeling betrayed and coping with her father’s serious accident at the same time. Despite these challenges, the singer remains optimistic about lasting love, emphasizing the need to move forward and make the best of any situation.
Shakira’s candid revelations shed light on the complexities of balancing personal and professional life, serving as a reminder to prioritize what truly matters in the face of adversity.
