Shakira relates Gerard Pique breakup with "being stabbed in the chest"

Global superstar Shakira has shed light on the profound emotional turmoil she endured following her breakup with long-time partner, Spanish soccer star Gerard Pique.

Comparing the pain of their separation to a physical sensation akin to being “stabbed in the chest,” Shakira shared the raw intensity of her heartbreak, in an interview obtained by E! News.

The `Hips Don`t Lie` singer, who announced her split from Pique in 2022 after 11 years together, spoke openly about the agonizing period during a recent interview with Rolling Stone.

Describing the depth of her suffering, Shakira confessed, “It felt like someone had stabbed a hole in my chest. And the sensation was so real, almost physical. I physically felt like I had a hole in my chest and that people could see through me.”

Amidst rumours of infidelity surrounding Pique and a tumultuous tax fraud case, Shakira found herself grappling with a myriad of challenges, including caring for her father after a serious fall.

Reflecting on this tumultuous time, she remarked, “When it rains, it pours. It was crazy how many things I had to deal with at that time,” in the interview obtained by E! News.

Despite the overwhelming obstacles, Shakira found solace in her music, using her artistry as a means of catharsis.

Relocating with her sons from Barcelona to Miami, she immersed herself in her work, channelling her pain into her creative endeavours.

Even her recent music video for `Monotonia,` where she portrays being shot in the heart by an arrow, symbolizes the depth of her emotional journey, reported E! News.

“This has been a journey back to myself, and the way there was through my music,” Shakira affirmed adding, “I`m in a moment where the worst has happened, and this process woke up a new sense of autonomy and independence in me.”

Acknowledging the sacrifices she made for love, including putting her career on hold for Pique`s football career, Shakira now embraces a newfound sense of empowerment and self-reliance.

E! News reported that despite plans to resume her career after Pique`s retirement, their breakup prompted her to reclaim control over her life sooner than anticipated.
