This is the "darkest period" of Shakira's life.

Asked about her breakup with Gerard Pique, her troubles with the Spanish tax authorities and her father's health problems, the singer confirmed to

ELLE

magazine that she was suffering.

While nothing has yet been decided for the custody of their children, two boys aged 9 and 7, the Colombian star has given up as rarely.



“It was difficult, not only for me, but also for my children.

Incredibly difficult.

I try to hide the situation from them as much as I can.

It's really confusing for two kids trying to deal with their parents' separation.

And sometimes I feel like it's all just a bad dream and I'm going to wake up at some point.

But no, it's real.

And what's also real is the disappointment of seeing something as sacred and as special as what I thought was the relationship I had with the father of my children and seeing that turned into something something vulgar and belittled by the media,” she explained.

Return

Shakira also opened up about how this breakup happened in her life.

If she refuses to answer the question of whether she had "anticipated" her separation, she recalls, however, that she has done everything possible to make her love affair with the Spanish footballer from FC Barcelona work in the long term, by putting her own work "in the background" so that he can continue without a sporting career without being hindered by incessant travel.

"I put my career on the back burner and came to Spain, to support him so he could play football and win titles.

And it was a sacrifice of love.

Thanks to this, my children have been able to have a mom present, and I have this incredible bond with them which is unbreakable and which supports us.

You know, that's all.

That's all I can say,” she added.

While she is fighting in court against accusations from the Spanish tax authorities on her tax returns, Shakira is preparing to pick up the thread of her career.

His first album in five years, should arrive shortly, if we are to believe the artist, who specifies that it will be original titles and collaborations, in Spanish and English.

And the first songs should arrive “imminent”!
