The Hips Don’t Lie singer, Shakira candidly confessed that her family meant everything to her. She believed in ‘forever’ before Gerard shattered her heart into pieces with alleged cheating. She said:

Shakira said her parents’ relationship was a milestone that she too wanted to achieve

In the same interview, Shakira, the single mom of two, further mentioned that her parents are her role models when it comes to relationships. She says that she wanted a similar relationship for herself, just like her parents had, but alas, it did not happen. She said:

 "My parents have been together, I don’t know, 50 years, and they love each other like the first day, with a love that’s unique and unrepeatable. So I know it’s possible. It’s what I wanted for myself and my children, but it didn’t happen,"

Shakira prioritised her family before her career, but now she is focusing again on her music

The Beautiful Liar singer reflected on her past relationship with Pique. She admitted that while living with the former footballer in Spain, she had to prioritise her personal life over her music career. She further added:

“The thing is, I was dedicated to him. To the family, to him. It was very difficult for me to attend to my professional career while in Barcelona. I couldn’t leave my children and just go somewhere to make music outside my house. It was hard to maintain the rhythm.”

After moving to Miami, Shakira found a renewed focus on her music and a break from the constant media attention her family faced in Barcelona. She explained the contrast between their lives in Spain with the ever-present paparazzi and their current experiences in the U.S., where they have enjoyed a refreshing sense of normalcy and a break from the spotlight. Shakira is grateful for this new chapter in her life. She mentioned:

“Here, they’re normal children who enjoy normalcy, which is what school should be: a safe haven where they can be themselves,” Shakira expressed, underscoring the importance of a balanced and grounded environment for her children.
