Shakira has revealed what helped her cope with the “difficult” split from her ex Gerard Piqué.
The musician ended her relationship with the footballer, 37, back in 2022 after eleven years together.
The 47-year-old has confessed music has been what’s helped her overcome their separation.
Speaking on Zane Lowe on Apple Music, Shakira confessed: “I’ve learned that my music has a therapeutic effect.”
“I’ve been through a couple of difficult years, personally, you know, with the separation and all that, but music has been like the glue that has brought me back together.”
“Songs evolve, they live their own life… they evolve in people’s lives.”
“They become the soundtrack for many people, including myself.”
She continued: “I remember chapters of my life through my own music and where I was at then emotionally and mentally.”
“I am in charge of these two children, these two babies who depend so much on me and I am a single mother, I don’t have a husband or a housewife to help me with anything.”
Shakira met Piqué on the set of the music video for her song Waka Waka (This Time for Africa) back in 2010, before they went public with their romance the following year.
The pair welcomed their son Milan in 2013, and their second Sasha in 2015.
Since their split, Gerard has moved on with 25-year-old model Clara Chia Marti.
