She maintains she is only thinking of her children when handling the divorce from her estranged footballer husband Gerard Piqué.
Additionally, Shakira said paparazzi constantly surround her house, making things difficult for her and her boys. “It’s hard to talk about it, especially because I’m still going through it. There’s not a place where I can hide from them with my kids, except for my own house. You know, we can’t take a walk in the park like a regular family, have an ice cream, or do any activity without paparazzi following us,” she said.
According to the singer, hitting the headlines always creates chaos for her, but she tries to keep the situation hidden from her 7 and 9-year-old boys. “I try to do it and to protect them because that’s my number one mission in life. They deserve a normal life. It’s just a total circus, and everyone is speculating about all of these aspects of our, and more importantly, our children’s lives, and a lot of it isn’t even true,” she added.
She is now focusing on finding a better way to raise her kids after she put her career on hold to help her estranged husband play football and build his career in Spain. “I mean, one of the two of us had to make a sacrifice, right?” she said, later adding. “And I did it. I put my career in second gear, and I came to Spain to support him so he could play football and win titles. And it was a sacrifice of love,” she added. She is currently finding a way to co-parent with her ex while dealing with the end of her union.
