What Shakira Just Said

She’s moving on — kind of. Shakira is opening up about her split from Gerard Piqué. Honestly — no one’s really surprised at this point.

Inside Her Latest Moment

Life goes on — that’s what Shakira said. When your world collapses — you have to get up, pay the bills, still prepare breakfast, take your kids to school. Shakira got candid in a new cover story with People — and it’s real talk. She’s thinking of raising her kids — that’s it. Maybe when they’re older — but not now. And, somehow, she’s making it work.

But what makes this stand out is her resilience — it’s no joke. Shakira explained to the outlet that motherhood makes you strong — it’s a game-changer. The moment I became a mother, I saw life through a different perspective — and my kids aren’t only the best thing that happened to me, but I’ve learned so much from them every day. Yet — she’s not looking for love right now. Shakira and Piqué began dating after meeting while filming the music video for “Waka Waka (This Time for Africa)” — before confirming their split in June 2022 amid his alleged affair. So — how does she keep doing this?

Lowkey — it’s pretty inspiring. Shakira told People that her 2023 hit “Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 53” with the music producer Bizarrap — a diss track that addressed the alleged affair — was just pure catharsis. Gotta say — it’s pretty much the most honest thing she’s said in a while. It was very therapeutic — she needed it. And, actually — it helped a lot of people who were going through something similar. When did this become a thing — using music as therapy? Shakira feels like a lot of women who have been going through something similar were telling her how important that was for them.

Apparently — she’s doing okay now. Real talk — Shakira is stronger than we thought. And — she’s not slowing down.
