Singer Shakira unexpectedly mentioned her ex-husband Gerard Pique in a recent sharing.

In a recent article in The Times, singer Shakira opened up about her 11-year marriage to former footballer Gerard Pique. The British media described her as feeling “bitter” for having sacrificed a lot for her ex-husband. “For a long time, I put my career on hold to accompany Pique, to let him play football comfortably. I had to sacrifice a lot for love,” Shakira shared nearly 2 years after her split with Pique.Initially, Shakira and Pique were seen as a golden couple in terms of talent and fаme. However, Shakira believes a singer should not marry an athlete. “Empathy is crucial in an artist’s career. Whereas an athlete is always in a competitive state and may not want to empathize with anyone. That’s why an artist dating an athlete is a bad idea,” she said.Pique and Shakira met when they collaborated on a music video in 2010. Despite Shakira being more than 10 years older, they quickly fell in love. In their 11 years together, the couple had two sons, Milan (11 years old) and Sasha (9 years old).However, by 2022, Shakira went through a tumultuous divorce from Pique. After going their separate ways, Shakira moved to the United States, not publicly revealing any new partner. On the other hand, Pique started dating a younger girlfriend, Clara Chia.
