Shakira breaks open her silence and vulnerability in a new interview and shoot with GQ, illuminating how difficult it has been about her very public split with Spanish soccer star Gerard Piqué. The Colombian pop icon recently posed for the boldest photo spread with GQ, where she candidly spoke about how hard it has been about separating with her much-long-term partner over a decade.
The reports indicate that Shakira and Piqué, 36 years old, have two boys, Milan, and Sasha. As you would expect, the couple made very little noise about their relationship during all those years they were together. Their separation, however, is a different story. News of them breaking up has dominated headlines around the world with people coming up with all sorts of theories. In an extraordinary interview to GQ, Shakira goes deep into the intricacies of love, trust, and heartbreak, casting light on what it’s been like to navigate single parenthood with fame in the wake of their separation.
“We were in love so deeply,” Shakira revealed as she underlined the emotional journey both have made as they transitioned from being lovers to becoming co-parents. She acknowledged the painful realities about their separation, especially its impact on their children. “I try to keep it hidden in front of my kids because that’s my number one priority,” she said. “But I cannot pretend it was easy.”
The shoot to that end becomes a reflection of the unapologetic manner Shakira enters this new chapter. She poses in such in-your-face, edgy outfits against striking backdrops, exuding both the confidence and resilience she’s promised. Every image becomes a story of strength as she takes that step forward into an era that, as she says, is about “reclaiming her own narrative.”.
During her interview, Shakira also mentioned how scrutiny had affected her private life, pointing out that she feels the most empowered now than ever. “I’ve had to find my strength in unexpected ways,” she said. “The spotlight can distort things, but it’s also been my ally in speaking my truth.”
With new music in the air, Shakira has intimated that future projects will represent change. It is portrayed that fans will see a raw and unfiltered Shakira side promising songs that dig deep into reaching every kind of emotion and experience inside her.
This is perhaps one of Shakira’s most candid discussions about her breakup, marking a new chapter for the superstar. Resilient and self-discovered Shakira appears to be all set to face whatever is down the line with renewed passion and strength.
