The 46-year-old Colombian singer Shakira Ripoll suffered painfully for the collapse of her relationship with the football player and the father of her children. Eventually she gained a courage to give a candid interview after the scandal with Girard Pique.

The singer and athlete broke up with the famous football player last June after a 12-year relationship. The former lovers have two sons. Shakira has said she has gone through her “darkest time” since parting with the former Barcelona player.

“I must admit that I have always been emotionally dependent on men. I infinitely engage in love, and I understand that this story has a different point of view. When women have to face the battles of life, they get out of them very often. You become stronger when you discover your weakness and accept your vulnerability. Express that you are in this pain because the opposite of depression is expression,” said Shakira.

The Latin American singer managed to fully recover after the betrayal of the Spanish footballer. The star dedicated a song to her cheating husband, which became a hit.

“Now, paradoxically, I feel complete. I feel that I depend on myself, and I have two children who depend on me, so I must be stronger than the lioness. This power, to be true and not a façade, must be the result of surviving the duel, accepting it, tolerating disappointment. There are things in life that don’t work out the way you want. There are broken dreams, and you have to pick up the pieces from the floor and start over, ”Shakira said in an interview with Mexican journalist Enrique Acevedo.

The singer noted that her sons and music have become a great inspiration and therapy for her in this difficult time. She admitted that she wanted to be an example for Milan and Sasha, how not to give up, not to get depressed, and always go forward.

We wish the beautiful star a huge strength to move ahead and not to give up in any devastating situation.
