Gerard Pique and Shakira
Shakira chose not to discuss Gerard Pique’s new relationship with a much younger woman in her first interview about their surprising split after 12 years and two children together. The 45-year-old Colombian singer spoke up about how difficult life has been as her romance with the Barcelona‘s star has crumbled in the cover story and in-depth interview for Elle magazine’s October issue.
Shakira, who has two sons with Gerard Pique, Milan, age nine, and Sasha, age seven, made her first statements about the breakup when she said:: ”Oh, this is really hard to talk about personally, especially as this is the first time I’ve ever addressed this situation in an interview.”
”I’ve remained quiet and just tried to process it all. Um, and yeah, it’s hard to talk about it, especially because I’m still going through it, and because I’m in the public eye and because our separation is not like a regular separation. And so it’s been tough not only for me, but also for my kids. Incredibly difficult.”
She continued by stating that her family has found it challenging to live in the public eye because of how tough it is for them to avoid being inundated by reporters and admirers.

Shakira explained her side in a recent interview
Shakira explained: ”So it’s hard. And I’ve tried to conceal the situation in front of my kids. I try to do it and to protect them, because that’s my number one mission in life.
”But then they hear things in school from their friends or they come across some disagreeable, unpleasant news online, and it just affects them, you know?”
Despite it seems as though Shakira did not want the relationship to end at the time, the now-ex-couple announced their breakup in June after dating for twelve years. Many were curious as to how it all turned out until they learned that Pique had already started dating Clara Chia Marti, a 23-year-old PR student.
In a recent video shot by the Spanish media outlet Socialite at the Summerfest Cerdanya festival in Catalonia, Pique was seen last month giving his new love interest a passionate kiss. When asked how she realised their long-term relationship was gone, Shakira refused to discuss her ex’s current relationship, saying only that ”I think that those details are somehow too private to share, at least at this very moment—everything is so raw and new. I can only say that I put everything I had into this relationship and my family.”
The hitmaker behind Hips Don’t Lie explained: ”And so, one of the two had to make that effort and that sacrifice. And I did it. I put my career in second gear and I came to Spain, to support him so he could play football and win titles. And it was a sacrifice of love.
”Thanks to that, my kids were able to have a present mom, and I have this amazing bond with them that is unbreakable and that sustains us. You know, that is it. That’s all I can say.”
