Shakira opens up after split from Gerard Piqué nearly 3 years ago, says, 'Life hasn't been kind'

Shakira says that life hasn't been kind since her breakup with Gerard Piqué, almost three years ago at the Grammys in 2025. In June 2022, the Latin pop star and her longtime boyfriend jointly released a statement announcing their separation.

Shakira's relationship with her ex-boyfriend Gerard Piqué has been difficult. In an interview with Live From E!: Grammys on Sunday, February 2, the 48-year-old Latin pop star said she has grown a lot since she broke up with her 38-year-old longtime boyfriend in June 2022.

Shakira shared at the Grammy Awards in 2025 that she has gained a great deal of knowledge. Although it hasn't always been pleasant, life has been a good teacher, as quoted in a report by The People.


But she went on, mentioning her song "She Wolf" from 2009: "The she-wolf is still here."

At this year's awards show, Shakira also talked candidly about celebrating her 48th birthday. She attended the Super Bowl five years ago on her birthday as well. The fact that these significant events always fall on her birthday is therefore a coincidence. Perhaps it is a divine gift of some kind.

Jennifer Lopez presented Shakira with the Best Latin Pop Album Award for Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran at the 67th Annual Grammy Awards at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles last night.

The "Waka Waka" singer opened her acceptance speech by saying, "Wow, this is incredible." "Thank you very much. Thank you very much."

She also shared a very personal message during that time. "All of my immigrant brothers and sisters in this nation are loved, and I want to dedicate this award to you all,” as quoted in a report.

Shakira and Piqué announced their separation in a joint statement in June 2022, citing the need for privacy for their children's safety. Piqué allegedly cheated on Shakira several times, including with his current girlfriend, Clara Chia Martí.

In June 2023, Shakira addressed the split in an interview with People en Español, stating that everything happened at once, as her home was falling apart and she found out through the press that she had been betrayed while her dad was in the ICU.
