Shakira spoke to the press about the heartbreaking moment she found out that the father of her children, Gerard Piquehe had betrayed her by having a relationship with another woman, while her father had an accident that led him to the intensive care unit.

Speaking to the Spanish “People” she said that she learned about Pique’s extramarital affair from the news when she herself was in a bad psychological state due to her father’s health. It’s been over a year since the Colombian superstar called an end to her relationship with Pique and has now charted her own path with her children.

She said: “My father came to Barcelona to comfort me after I was overcome with grief due to my separation. However, he had a serious accident and everything went black. I was learning through the press that I had been betrayed while my father was in intensive care. Fortunately, my father is better now.”

Shakira, too, feared that her beloved father would not make it. “The person I loved the most in my life, my father, was not around when I needed him. I couldn’t talk to him or consult him in one of the worst phases of my life,” added the singer, according to what “Marca” writes.
