In recent times, Shakira traveled back to her hometown in Colombia. The ‘Waka–Waka’ singer had gone back to take care of her father. William Mebarak had just undergone surgery after suffering from hydrocephalus. After suffering a bad fall in 2022, he didn’t recover as quickly as expected. Hence, surgery was the best option to improve the quality of his well-being.
Just hours ago, she released a heartwarming message to the medical team. Without a doubt, the Latin American singer was immensely grateful to them.

Shakira’s thank you note to the medical team
Since arriving back home, she has just been focusing on her father. Mr. Mebarak underwent surgery at Serena del Mar Hospital. This hospital is seemingly the #1 medical center in Cartagena and #2 in the entire Caribbean region.
Gracias al @HSerenadelMar por recibirnos. Al doctor Hakim, su equipo, todo el personal médico y a ustedes por sus mensajes solidarios para mi papá y nuestra familia. 🥰 pic.twitter.com/YpE5aAAhmH

“Thanks to @HSerenadelMar for having us. To Dr. Hakim, his team, all the medical staff, and to you for your supportive messages for my dad and our family,” as translated by Google Translate. On June 1, the Colombian icon posted a heart-melting video for her parents. That video consisted of short clips and pictures of the singer’s parents.
Before traveling to Colombia, the singer was in Barcelona with her children, Milan and Sasha, so that they could spend time with their father, Gerard Piqué. Piqué and Shakira split in June 2022 after more than a decade together. In Barcelona, Shakira was present at the Spanish F1 Grand Prix with Lewis Hamilton, which led to excited fans suspecting romantic interest between the two.
