Shakira claims she put her career on hold for Gerard Piqué: ‘A lot of sacrifice for love’

Then in June 2022, she and Piqué announced their separation in a joint statement.

“We regret to confirm that we are separating,” the former couple said at the time. “We ask for privacy at this moment for the well-being of our children, who are our maximum priority. Thank you in advance for your understanding and respect.”

Page Six later reported that Shakira was “devastated” over Piqué’s alleged infidelity with his now-girlfriend, Clara Chia Marti, who is more than 20 years the “Hips Don’t Lie” singer’s junior.

Shakira reportedly found out her ex was having an affair when she discovered jam was missing from their home.

She exacted musical revenge last year in a song called “Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol 53,” warbling in Spanish, “I’m worth two 22-year-olds/You traded in a Ferrari for a Twingo.”

It’s not the first time Shakira has spoken bitterly about the end of her relationship with Piqué.

Speaking to Billboard last year, the mother of two confessed to believing in “till death do us part.”

“My priority was my home, my family. I believed in ’till death do us part.’ I believed that dream,” Shakira said in September 2023.

“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.”

She added at the time, “It’s what I wanted for myself and my children, but it didn’t happen.”

Despite her relationship woes, it has been been a tumultuous time for “The Voice” judge.

In November 2023, she narrowly avoided possible jail time by pleading guilty to tax evasion in Spain.

Under a deal that was struck at the last minute, Shakira received a suspended three-year sentence estimated to be around $7.6 million. She is releasing a new album, “Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran,” soon.
