Shakira Reveals She Hasn’t Fully Overcome Her Split from Piqué – ‘The Healing Takes Years’

Shakira’s split from Gerard Piqué has been one of the most talked-about topics on social media and in public discourse. The extent to which both parties discussed their relationship, particularly regarding Piqué’s infidelity and how Shakira discovered it, made headlines worldwide. Despite her romantic life becoming a subject of speculation, the Colombian star managed to move forward three years after the breakup, facing the storm with the same passion she channels into her music. In a recent interview, Shakira candidly spoke about finding ways to dance over her wounds post-split. This experience inspired her latest album Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran (Women Don’t Cry Anymore), released after seven years. She emphasized that healing is a long process: “It takes many years,” she told Mexican channel N+. Shakira also compared the pain to dancing despite sore feet at a party, highlighting resilience. She explained that feeling disappointed or undervalued is natural but having true friends and family reminds you of your worth. For her, songwriting became an outlet for catharsis. Reflecting on her identity as a ‘wolf,’ she described herself as loyal, protective, hardworking, and entrepreneurial. After 11 years together and two children, Shakira and Piqué announced their separation in June 2022, shocking the internet. In September 2022, Shakira opened up about protecting their kids during this difficult time. Her October 2022 single and January 2023 track subtly referenced the split and betrayal, even alluding to Piqué’s new partner. Ultimately, they agreed to relocate their children permanently from Barcelona to Miami.
