Shakira revealed that she was particularly vulnerable after her split from Gerard Pique, who she was with for 11 years. Speaking to GQ, the 47-year-old singer admitted she used music to mourn the couple’s split as she posed in a silicone bra.

The former couple confirmed the end of their 11-year relationship in June 2022, shortly after the former athlete was rumored to have cheated on Shakira. Discussing what the healing process looks like from their split on her latest album, “Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran”the singer said: “It wasn’t easy to acknowledge all the vulnerability I felt at the time I wrote this album and then reveal it.

For many months after my breakup I was silent and grieving. Music helped me and was my way of healing. Grieving has several stages. You go through a process that is full of peaks and valleys.”

Shakira was stunning in her new photo shoot. Throughout the album each track details the singer’s different feelings after the breakup, from thanking him for their time together to blaming him for his narcissism.

It is worth noting that Pique accused Shakira of not being completely honest about their splitin a recent interview. Today, 37-year-old Pique is with 25-year-old Clara Chia Marti and insists he is very happy with her. “In the end, the truth or what happens or happened is not told the way it is told. I can’t control this”Pique told CNN.

Shakira previously admitted she had a “love-hate relationship” with her career throughout her relationship, before declaring: “In a way it’s good not to have a husband, because he was pulling me down.” And now Shakira has revealed she’s excited to bring her fans the ‘tour of a lifetime’. “It’s the most ambitious tour of my entire career, the biggest production I’ve had so far. Not because the public is asking for it, but because I deserve it after so many years of working in this world.”added the artist.
