The publicized breakup between pop star Shakira and former Barcelona star Gerard Pique has created a lot of bad blood between the two, who exchange bites at every invitation. After stinging her ex again in a new song she released, the Colombian singer gave her first interview in Mexico where she addressed, of course, the breakup with a producer.
“I think a woman needs a man who will complete her, who will build a family with her,” said Shakira, “I also had this dream of building a family with children who will have a father and a mother who will live under the same roof. But not all dreams come true. I give everything for the two lovely children ours and I discovered that the legend according to which a woman owes a man is not true.”
“I have always been emotionally dependent on men, I have to admit,” added Shakira, “Today I feel that I am enough for myself and believe that when a woman faces the difficulties of life, she becomes stronger because she is aware of her own weaknesses, accepts her vulnerability and deals with the pain. I learned to understand that I I can handle myself, something I didn’t understand until now.”
Shakira shared about the crisis she went through after the breakup: “I have two children for whom I have to be strong like a lioness. I faced grief and accepted it. I accepted the fact that there are things that others don’t want. There are dreams that break and you have to pick up the pieces from the floor and rebuild yourself.” .

Shakira also admitted that she suffers from “imposter syndrome” – a condition in which people who have reached high achievements doubt their personal contribution to these achievements and think that they achieved them in unfair ways. “I wanted to find out who I am and what I can give. I always doubted myself and wanted to check if I really have talent.”
“Life put me in an uncomfortable situation,” concluded Shakira, “it gave me a proportion to how other people live. My worldview changed. We want to avoid pain, but it is part of life. I didn’t know I could be stronger, but I have more faith in myself and I A more whole man now.”
