“I Am Enough for Myself”- Shakira Proudly Diminished Her Dependency on Gerard Pique Months Before Regretting the Breakup

Shakira has experienced newfound independence and resilience following her breakup with Gerard Pique. For over a decade, the Colombian singer’s personal and professional life seemed to be in perfect harmony, with Gerard Pique playing a prominent role as her partner and father to their children. However, the breakup ushered in a new chapter, one in which Shakira discovered her own strength and diminished her dependency on men.

Life after the high-profile split has not been without its challenges for Shakira. In a recent interview, she expressed the difficulties of juggling her demanding work schedule with the responsibilities of raising her two children, Sasha and Milan. However, despite the challenges, Shakira firmly believes that she no longer needs anyone to rely on.

Shakira firmly believes she no longer needs Gerard Pique

This revelation came to light in February, during a period when the Diss Track saga was making headlines in the Shakira-Pique breakup drama. In an interview, the singer took the opportunity to reflect on the changes in her life since the separation. The Latin singer admitted that she had once subscribed to the ideology that a woman needed a man and “had a dream of having a family where the children would have both parents under the same roof”.

Sadly, this dream did not materialize, but Shakira has discovered solace in the form of her sons. She boldly declared, “I had bought into the fable that a woman needs a man because I have been emotionally very dependent on men. I have been in love with love, but I think I have finally understood that story from a different perspective. I am enough for myself.”

The Waka-Waka singer further added, “Now, paradoxically, I feel complete, because I feel that I depend on myself and I have two children who depend on me, so I have to be stronger than a lioness”. It is evident that the breakup has propelled her to explore new personal depths. However, there are still lingering regrets surrounding her decision to separate from Gerard Pique.

Shakira’s biggest regret after breakup

In an interview with Billboard, several months after her candid and revealing conversation, Shakira shared one of her greatest remorseful feelings. She expressed the sadness of not being able to raise her children alongside their father. This particular interview showcased a different side of Shakira compared to her previous interviews. She openly disclosed that nothing can make up for the pain of breaking up a family.

As the pop sensation reflected on her past dreams, she revealed that her biggest aspiration was not collecting platinum albums or winning Grammys; it was raising her sons with their loving father. She further added her yearning to “overcome obstacles and grow old together. I know I’m not getting that now,” the singer admitted. While Shakira strives to embrace her own strength and move forward, she also grapples with the weight of those unfulfilled desires.
