– The darkest period of my life, says Shakira in an important interview with the magazine Elle.
The split between the two in June was discussed in the media across much of the world.
– It was very difficult, he says again.
Shakira and Barcelona player Gerard Piqué have never married, but have been a couple for 12 years and have two children together, Milan (9) and Sasha (7).
– I did everything possible to protect my children. They are the most important thing I have. But it wasn’t that easy. After all, they either heard about it in school or took part in what was in the news. So they got involved anyway, Shakira says in the interview with Elle.
Gerard Piqué has so far not commented on Shakira’s interview with Elle.
She says that the relationship between her and Gerard Piqué, which she had once experienced as sacred, had been turned into something vulgar and cheap through all the headlines that constantly came to her at the time. In the interview with Elle, she won’t say anything about Gerard Piqué and his new girlfriend Clara Chia. Neither she will comment on rumors that she cheated on her with Chia.
– The most important thing for me now is that we can work together to raise our children, says Shakira.
In the interview with Elle, she also takes on much of the responsibility for how things turned out.
– I moved to Barcelona, suspended my career and instead chose to support him in his career. On the other hand, my kids have a mom who was always there for them. Which in turn meant that I have a great relationship with them today, says Shakira.
But now she will soon release her first album in five years and wrote much of the music herself.
– It was pure therapy for me, says Shakira.
