The couple, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/shakira-gerard-pique-betrayed-her/blt041a6cedb43c7a86" target="_blank">who had been together for 11 years, announced their separation</a> in June 2022 amidst allegations of infidelity on Pique's part. Shakira, now 47, expressed her uncertainty about love during an appearance on Zane Lowe's Apple Music 1 show.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Shakira confessed: "I thought love would be there forever for me, and that's one of my broken dreams. I don't know if I'd like to find that again. Probably not."

WHAT SHAKIRA SAID

Despite the heartbreak, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/barcelona-pique-shakira-split-11-years-cheating-allegations/blteb2dfa67366fc768" target="_blank">Shakira remains resilient and focused on her music career.</a> Her long-awaited 12th album, "Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran," was released recently, marking her return to the music scene. The Colombian singer emphasised that the thought of growing old alone does not upset her, as she cherishes the support of her friends during the darkest moments of her life."I've always been in a couple, but then when that wasn't there, and when I had to face the darkest moments of my life, friends were there and kept me together. I might not grow old with a partner, but I will grow old surrounded by good friends," she added.Shakira's relationship with Pique was not without its challenges, as she revealed feeling "dragged down" during their time together. Following their split, she has redirected her energy towards her music and creative endeavours which has helped her bloom once again.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Shakira's new album contains several references to her past relationship, including subtle jabs at Pique and his new girlfriend, Clara Chia Marti. In one track titled "Shakira: Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 53," she sings, "I'm too big for you," hinting at her feelings towards her ex-partner and his new romance. Despite the challenges of heartbreak and betrayal, Shakira's resilience shines through in her music, transforming her personal struggles into powerful and relatable songs. And in the same vein "Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran" serves as a testament to her strength and ability to navigate life's most trying experiences with grace and artistry.
