The Colombian singer Shakira recently opened up about her personal love life, expressing that she has been unlucky in that aspect. However, she feels compensated by her children, friends, and fans. In an interview with Marie Claire UK, Shakira discussed how her family and fan support have helped her maintain faith in love, even after going through a breakup with former footballer Gerard Piqué.

Shakira shared that she used to believe that having a loving husband was the most important thing in life. She had been searching for someone like her father, with whom she could have children and plan a lifelong partnership, similar to her parents’ loving relationship. She mentioned the sacrifices she had made and her loyalty in relationships. However, sometimes things don’t go as planned, and one must move forward.

The talented singer also spoke about the challenges of balancing work and being a single mother, describing it as a “challenge of the century.” After her separation from Piqué, Shakira felt uncertain and unsure of how she would survive. But through conversations and mutual support with her parents, they managed to overcome the difficulties together.

Setting her own goals, Shakira expressed her desire to raise her sons to be honest and loyal men who keep their word. In today’s world, she believes that people’s words often lack value, with many making promises they can’t fulfill. She wants her children to be the opposite.

When asked if she still believes in love after experiencing heartbreak and pain, Shakira hesitated before responding. She couldn’t deny her belief in love, as she had witnessed her own parents’ enduring love after 50 years together. They still look into each other’s eyes, hold hands, and can’t imagine life without one another. While she hasn’t been fortunate in love herself, she believes that the idea of a monogamous relationship is unrealistic.

However, Shakira finds solace and compensation in other aspects of her life, such as the love and support of her fans, her children, and her true friends. She agrees with Oscar Wilde’s statement that friendship is the purest form of love and believes that it lasts longer, at least in her experience. Her romantic relationships may have lasted for 12 years, but her friendships are lifelong. When faced with difficulties, she learned just how important true friendships are.

Shakira, born in 1977, is a renowned Colombian singer known as the Queen of Latin Music. She had a highly praised and fairy tale-like relationship with former Barcelona footballer Gerard Piqué, which lasted over 10 years and resulted in two sons. In the summer of 2022, the couple surprised everyone by announcing their separation amidst rumors of infidelity on Piqué’s part. Shakira has remained silent about the details of the situation. In the middle of 2023, she relocated to Miami, USA, with her two sons, starting a new chapter in her life. Despite the breakup with Piqué, Shakira has returned to music and garnered attention with her hot singles.
