The singer from Barranquilla indicated that she traveled to Colombia because of her father who underwent head surgery for the second time and not because her mother was taken to the emergency room as some media outlets speculated.
Shakira (46) traveled from Miami to Barranquilla on Saturday, October 14, because her father, William Mebarak Chadid (92), had to undergo head surgery again.
And although the media speculated that it was the singer’s mother, Nidia Ripoll (73), who was admitted for an emergency, since in March she was hospitalized for a thrombosis in her leg, the singer denied it.
It was through Rodrigo Beltrán, her press chief, that the artist announced to the newspaper El Heraldo that her mother is in good health.
Shakira’s concern at the moment falls on her father who was admitted to a Cartagena Hospital last June to treat hydrocephalus through a Hakim valve.
Although Shakira did not want to make her father’s condition known, her lightning trip seems to be due to his strong health problems, which is why she has decided to stay at her home in Colombia. Her children Milan (11) and Sasha (9) have not accompanied her on this trip, as they stayed in Miami to continue their school activities.
The artist has always been very close to her parents, although due to her work commitments she now has to live in Miami.
