Dating is the last thing on her mind Shakira currently. The 47-year-old artist, who will embark on a world tour in November, makes it clear that she has no plans to find a romantic partner anytime soon.

Shakira gave an interview and was photographed for Rolling Stone magazine. Her view of finding a new partner, she admitted, is largely influenced by her children, whom she shares with ex-partner Gerard Piqué.

The singer and former footballer were together for 11 years before announcing their split in June 2022.

After their breakup, there were rumors that the athlete cheated on her with his current girlfriend, Clara Chia Marti. “What can I tell you, I like men. This is the problem. I shouldn’t like them with everything that’s happened to me, but imagine how much I like men”Shakira joked in her interview.

And he added: “Having an official relationship, I think my children should be very prepared for that and their emotional and psychological well-being is my priority.”

Although she has stated that she is not against having a partner, Shakira seems to have finally focused on her independence. “I’m a lot less fragile than I thought. I was always so afraid of pain because I thought I wouldn’t survive it.”he said.

“Through this process, I became stronger. I became a more independent person, a person who doesn’t rely on anyone but himself.”.
