I put my career in second gear and I came to Spain to support him - Shakira breaks silence on painful split with Barcelona star Gerard Pique

By Apratim Banerjee Modified 22 Sep 2022 Follow Us Comment Share Shakira opens up on split with Barcelona defender Gerard Pique. Colombian pop star Shakira recently opened up on her split with Barcelona defender Gerard Pique. The duo were in a 12-year-long relationship before parting ways in June. They met during the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa, and soon they started dating. Shakira, 45, opened up for the first time about the incident. In an interview with ELLE magazine, the superstar pop singer revealed the difficulties that she had to go through after her painful split with the Spanish World Cup winner: "It's been tough, not only for me, but also for my kids. Incredibly difficult, I try to conceal the situation from them as much as I can. It's really upsetting for two kids who are trying to process their parents' separation. And sometimes, I just feel like this is all a bad dream and that I'm going to wake up at some point. "But no, it's real. And what's also real is the disappointment to see something as sacred and as special as I thought was the relationship I had with my kids' father. And see that turned into something vulgarized and cheapened by the media."

And it was a sacrifice of love. Thanks to that, my kids were able to have a present mom, and I have this amazing bond with them that is unbreakable and that sustains us. You know, that is it. That's all I can say."
