Over the following years, they built a family together. They welcomed two sons, Milan in 2013 and Sasha in 2015. Despite never marrying, they remained together for more than a decade.

In June 2022, Shakira and Gerard Piqué announced their separation through a joint statement after 11 years together. The couple asked for privacy while focusing on the well-being of their two children, Milan and Sasha, whom they described as their “maximum priority.”

According to Goal, shortly after the announcement, allegations emerged that the relationship had ended after Piqué was reportedly involved in an alleged infidelity. However, neither Shakira nor Piqué publicly confirmed the specific reasons behind their separation.

The breakup attracted worldwide attention, and Shakira later opened up about the emotional impact of the split, describing that period as one of the most difficult times of her life. She chose to address her feelings through interviews and music while keeping many private details of the separation away from the public.

She said, “When your world collapses, you have to get up and pay the bills and still prepare breakfast and take your kids to school. Life needs to go on.” She also credited motherhood with helping her become stronger. She said, “The moment I became a mother, I saw life through a different perspective, and my kids are not only the best thing that happened to me, but I’ve learned so much from them every day. Through those challenging moments, I discovered how resilient we all are.”

As she enters this new phase, Shakira has continued focusing on music, motherhood, and major career opportunities. While public interest remains high, she has made clear that her priorities are family, personal growth, and her work.
