Shakira shared how she navigated the stormy waters of her breakup with Gerard Piqué, a professional footballer. She revealed that the split coincided with her father’s visit to Barcelona, where he intended to offer comfort and solace during her time of emotional turmoil. However, fate had other plans, as tragedy struck with her father’s grave accident, leaving him in the intensive care unit.


Shakira’s Ex-Husband’s Betrayal Happened as Her Father Is Hospitalized

In a recent interview, the Colombian singer opened up about a tumultuous period in her life. The time when she faced heartbreak and the challenging hospitalization of her beloved father, William Mebarak Chadid.

It was a harrowing experience for the artist, who found herself trapped in a whirlwind of emotions and life-altering events. She expressed the immense difficulty of not being able to lean on her father, her confidant and best friend, during this trying period. The absence of his guidance added another layer of hardships to her already challenging journey.

“I felt like everything was happening at once, my world was crumbling around me,” Shakira said. “While dealing with the pain of betrayal, I received the devastating news of my father’s accident while attending my eldest son’s first communion.”


Shakira looked back about her battle for survival during those dark times, a period when she questioned her ability to overcome such immense challenges. The weight of it all threatened to consume her, but she found solace in her father’s strength and perseverance to recover.

She Used Music To Cope With The Challenges

In her quest for healing and personal growth, Shakira turned to music as her guiding light. During her acceptance speech at Billboard’s Latin Women in Music gala, she emphasized the power and strength of women. She acknowledged the lessons she had learned from other women who had experienced similar trials and tribulations.

Through her music, she sought to convey the raw emotions of love and anger that only a woman could understand. Meanwhile, both Shakira and Piqué have remained committed to shielding their children from prying eyes and protecting their privacy. The couple, who were together for over a decade, made an effort to prioritize their children’s well-being throughout the separation.


Shakira gazes into the future with unwavering determination, intent on carving out her own unique path, infused with resilience, authenticity, and an unwavering passion. Her music will forever be intertwined with her personal triumphs and tribulations. A reflection of the extraordinary woman she has become.
