Shakira has no in poor health will toward her former partner Gerard Piqué.
“I’ll all the time have that gratitude in my heart for the daddy of my kids and [for] turning me into the mother that I’m today,” Shakira, 49, told The Times of London in a profile published on Friday, May 22, when asked about Piqué, 39.
Shakira and the retired Spanish soccer star dated for over a decade, from 2010 to 2022. The now-exes welcomed sons Milan and Sasha in 2013 and 2015, respectively, before calling it quits.
“We regret to verify that we’re separating,” Shakira and Piqué said in a joint June 2022 statement, announcing their breakup. “For the wellbeing of our kids, who’re our highest priority, we ask that you simply respect their privacy.”
As Shakira navigated the breakup, she told The Times that faced her “darkest moment.”
“I saw the dissolution of my family, the family that I had dreamt to maintain endlessly,” she recalled to the outlet. “I’ve been through a lot pain, however it has made me perhaps in an unexpected way a wiser person — or stronger, a minimum of.”
Shakira continued, “They are saying that what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger and it’s true. It’s amazing to learn that humans have a resilience that we will resort to at any moment in our lives. Sometimes through hardships and thru pain is how we discover how strong we could be. Suffering sometimes makes you a greater person, makes you value friends and support.”
Shakira, specifically, leaned on her friends within the wake of the split, including Chris Martin and Adele.
“Life sometimes could be a bitch, however it’s also beautiful and product of light and shadows,” the “Hips Don’t Lie” singer stated. “I thank life for each single moment, the brilliant ones and the dark ones, the individuals who have made me suffer because they’ve change into my masters who’ve taught me lessons, very worthwhile lessons.”
Since Shakira and Gerard Piqué announced their split after 12 years together, she has been candid about coping with heartbreak. “This is actually hard to discuss personally, especially as that is the primary time I’ve ever addressed this case in an interview,” the “Hips Don’t Lie” singer told Elle in a September 2022 profile.

Following her breakup from Piqué, Shakira has been romantically linked to Jimmy Butler and Lucien Laviscount before taking a break from dating altogether.
“Oh no, no romance for me for now,” she stressed to The Times. “There’s no space or time in my life for that. My plate is kind of full. My kids are my priority, and my profession. Strangely enough, I’m in love with my profession like I’ve never been in my life. I’m having fun with my time alone as well.”
When it comes to her profession, Shakira is slated to perform on the 2026 World Cup later this summer.
“It’s going to be extraordinary,” Shakira, who wrote the tournament anthem “Dai Dai,” teased in her Friday profile. “I’m as passionate as ever.”
