Music was the glue that held everything together for her during those tough times.
She emphasized the importance of balancing her career and personal life, sharing that she had made sacrifices for love, such as putting her career on hold to support her partner Gerard Piqué in his football career. Shakira and Piqué first met in 2010 while working on the music video for her hit song ‘Waka Waka (This Time for Africa).’
The pop sensation, aged 47, recently expressed how she believes she is experiencing a career resurgence following her highly-publicized split from the soccer player in 2022. The couple went public with their relationship in May 2011 and welcomed their first child, Milan, in 2013, followed by their second child, Sasha, in 2015. Shakira and the Spanish athlete called it quits after being together for 11 years in June 2022, reportedly due to his alleged infidelity.
Since their breakup, Gerard, now 37, has moved on and is currently in a relationship with model Clara Chia Marti, who now resides in the house he once shared with the singer since last August. Shakira revealed that during fashion week in Paris, she connected with Cardi B and felt that her upcoming album needed a touch of Cardi’s powerful energy.

Kerry, who had a casual relationship with Lucien after meeting on Celebrity Big Brother, described their connection as just a fun fling. In the music video, Lucien showcased his toned physique as a centaur struck by Shakira’s arrow, with the singer tending to his wound in a suggestive manner.
As the video progressed, Shakira changed into various outfits and performed with backup singers, incorporating Cardi B into the mix. Towards the end, Laviscount’s character appeared healed, joining Shakira in a romantic scene surrounded by a giant flower.
The video culminated with Shakira shooting an arrow, sending the centaurs back into space. Lucien, known for his role in Emily In Paris, has continued to make a mark in the entertainment industry since his appearance on Celebrity Big Brother.
On Friday, a new video was released and fans were taken aback to witness Lucien Laviscount, the 31-year-old star of Emily In Paris, in some intimate moments with the 47-year-old singer.
The singer, who recently opened up about her previous romance with Gerard Pique, was accompanied by Cardi B during the performance, where Cardi B even sang some of her lyrics in Spanish.
Last year, Kerry mentioned in an interview with OK Magazine that Lucien was very charming and attractive, and their interaction was all in good fun. Since his stint on the reality TV show, Lucien has scored a major role as Emily’s love interest in the popular Netflix series, Emily In Paris.
