Shakira on Love After Pique: ‘I Don’t Know if I’ll Ever Fall in Love Again’
After a painful split from her partner of 11 years, Gerard Pique, Shakira is unsure whether she’ll ever find love again. The breakup was reportedly due to Pique’s alleged infidelity, and Shakira is still struggling to process the end of the relationship. She has opened up about her feelings and doubts about the future in a recent interview.
Speaking during an interview with Zane Lowe for Apple Music 1, the singer stated that she thought she would experience love forever.
“I thought love would be there forever for me, and that’s one of my broken dreams. I don’t know if I’d like to find that again. Probably not,” Shakira said.
She further explained that after the end of her 12-year relationship, she is focusing on prioritising “friendship” in her life moving forward.

Her words: “I think friendship lasts longer than love. Though I still think experiencing love, fully experiencing it with all its peaks and valleys, it’s so essential to the human life.
“I love love, but I think I even love friendship a little bit more. Because I thought love would be there forever for me. And that’s one of my, you know, broken dreams. Perhaps I will. I don’t know if I’ll like find that again. Probably not. Well, I don’t know. But friendship, I have.
Shakira explained that in the past, she did not always prioritize friendship, often placing being in a relationship ahead of it.
“I wasn’t one of those people who valued friendship as much. I’ve always valued family and having a partner in a couple. I’ve always been in a couple,” she explained.
“But then when that wasn’t there, and when I lost my boys and when I had to face the darkest and the hardest moments of my life, friends were there and they kept me together.
“Those who did really showed me the true, the true meaning of life. I might not grow old with a partner, but I will grow old surrounded by good friends.”
The pair had two sons together: Milan, 11, and Sasha, 9.
