Breakups are constantly hard — specifically when media as well as kids are included. Shakira opened concerning just how her split from specialist footballer Gerard Piqué has actually influenced the previous pair’s 2 children, nine-year-old Milan as well as seven-year-old Sasha.
“They’re doing very well,” she informed Billboard in her recent cover story. “They love it. In Barcelona, they carried the weight of being ‘the children of…,’ and the media situation was hard on them. We had paparazzi at our doorstep every single day. Here, they’re normal children who enjoy normalcy, which is what school should be: a safe haven where they can be themselves. And because they’re sociable and pretty open, it was easy for them to adapt.”
The previous set announced their split in June 2022 with a joint declaration. “We regret to confirm that we are separating. For the well-being of our children, who are our highest priority, we ask that you respect our privacy,” the declaration checked out. Shakira as well as Piqué were with each other for 11 years.
Over the previous year, lots of reports around completion of both’s connection have actually made the rounds — from cheating allegations to a jar of strawberry jam. Shakira has actually given that transformed the discomfort right into songs, taking compelling target at Piqué on her Bizarrap collab “BZRP Music Sessions #53,” which rocketed to No. 1 on the Hot Latin Songs graph as well as eventually damaged 14 Guinness World Records. “The last time I released an album was six years ago,” she informs Billboard. “Now I can release music at a faster clip, although sometimes I think being a single mom and the rhythm of a pop star aren’t compatible. I have to put my kids to bed, go to the recording studio; everything is uphill. When you don’t have a husband who can stay home with the kids, it’s constant juggling because I like to be a present mom and I need to be there every moment with my children: take them to school, have breakfast with them, take them to play dates. And aside from that, I have to make money.”
