The past few months have already been quite tough for Shakira and her parents. It has primarily been a mental testing period for the pop star, who was forced to juggle various responsibilities. Seeing her dad rushed into the emergency room must have been a daunting experience. Speaking of which, what exactly happened to her father?

What happened to Shakira’s dad?

In 2022, William Mebarak suffered a severe fall resulting in significant head trauma, and unfortunately, his recovery took longer than expected. Eventually, he developed hydrocephalus, prompting the Mebarak family to opt for surgery to hasten his recuperation process. Shakira gathered a team of top-notch doctors from various cities to perform the surgery.

Initially, the surgery was planned to take place in Barcelona, but local hospitals reportedly lacked the necessary facilities. Consequently, she arranged for her father to be transported to Miami via air ambulance. However, the surgery ultimately took place in Colombia. In the midst of this, she also had to travel to Spain to reunite with her children, who were with their dad, Piqué.
