• Health The complicated start of the year for Shakira: a move in check due to the delicate state of her father

  • Concern Shakira does not separate from her father, who remains admitted to the hospital

On January 1,

Shakira

(45) opened her heart on Instagram.

"Although

our wounds remain open

in this new year, time has the hands of a surgeon. Even if someone has betrayed us, we must continue to trust. In the face of contempt, continue to value ourselves.

Our tears are not a waste, they

water the ground where the future will be born and they make us more human so that,

in the midst of heartbreak,

you can continue to love," he wrote with the hope of

his new life in Miami,

where he would supposedly move in the coming weeks.

However, the Colombian's plans could be cut short.

According to the

Mamarazzis

podcast , Shakira's move "would hang by a thread."

The reason?

The delicate state of health of her father

Her William Mebarak (91), after suffering a trauma.

"Her state of hers is so delicate at the moment that Shakira is considering

staying in Barcelona for a few more months

and postponing her final move so as not to subject her father to such a long trip," revealed Laura Fa.

What's more, the journalist assures that the interpreter could stay in Catalonia

until June,

in order to "disrupt as little as possible the school year of her children."

Even so, there is still the possibility that all the Mebaraks will cross the pond with a medicalized plane, next week.

But what are Shakira's plans for her parents?

What would William Mebarak and Nidia Ripoll do in Florida?

In theory, the same thing they have done for five years in Spain:

take care of their grandchildren

Sasha and Milan.

In 2017, the couple

moved to Barcelona from Barranquilla,

and they began to build

a house in Pedralbes.

A mansion -located on a plot adjacent to her daughter's house-, which has three floors and a garage floor.

According to various media, Shakira invested almost

900,000 euros so that her parents would

live

close to her

and thus, they could spend more time with theirs.

And it is that

the family, for the Mebarak, is very important.

Especially for William.

William Mebarak was born in 1931, in

the United States,

into a family

of Lebanese origin.

However, his parents decided to move to

Colombia

when he was only five years old.

According to his own words, his family always taught him

the value of work

, so during his youth he cultivated

multiple trades.

Among them, that of radio announcer,

jeweler

,

merchant

,

insurance agent

, literature professor and writer.

Although his true vocation was in the priesthood.

Meberak

wanted to be a priest.

"I wanted to be a priest

because of the influence of the De La Salle brothers

with whom I studied. But my father didn't want to, he was scared, because he had no male brothers and I only had a very young brother. He was terrified that

his last name would be lost, Mebarak.

So, he changed my school,

I started meeting girls...

And that ended my vocation! Then I wanted to be a writer and a doctor, but I had

a very crazy youth,

really... Motorcycles, cars, drinks, partying Girls... I'm ashamed to say that I was very unstable," he told

La Vanguardia in 2013.

Meberak soon settled down.

All thanks to

his first wife Lucila Otero.

"I stabilized at the moment

my first son, William, was born.

I felt an inner transformation. Then I was able to tell my father 'here I give you an heir'. I calmed down, started

working in the press

and later had

seven more children

with my wife. But unfortunately,

William died in an accident,

driving his car. He was hit. It was many years ago, but I still cry when I think about it," he said a decade ago.

Little is known about the marriage between William and Lucila.

Despite this, the same journalist - author of the book

Al viento y al azar

- has confessed that

he fell in love with Shakira's mother when he was still married

to her first wife.

"Nidia worked in a friend's company and one day I saw the wind blowing her skirts around her legs and I fell in love. I thought

'now your peace of mind is over, William',

because I was a married man then. And when we consolidated our relationship, our daughter Shakira was born," he revealed.

Following the birth of Shakira (and the subsequent birth of her brother Tonino),

Nidia Ripoll stopped working

and became a housewife.

But when her daughter began to develop her vocal talent, Ripoll became

her best agent.

Since adolescence, the Colombian accompanied her daughter to

countless contests and festivals

and, when she began to become internationally known, in 1997, she even became

her press

officer for a time.

Something for which Shakira has always been immensely grateful.

"Thanks to my mother for taking care of me, teaching me and for the love she has always given me," the celeb posted on Instagram two years ago.

Since 2012, when Shakira moved to Barcelona, ​​William and Nadia have

given various interviews,

talking about their daughter, giving their opinion about their son-in-law and telling how wonderful their grandchildren are.

However, Ripoll's attitude changed radically in October, when -after the break between Shakira and Piqué- he made an unexpected statement.

"We are still family and I have a good relationship with him.

I must have it, because we have not fought," he explained in front of the cameras.

A statement that Shakira would not have liked at all and that, according to numerous sources, would have made her ask

her mother for silence from

her.

However, there are no confirmations on the subject.
