Pop star Shakira opened up about her breakup with former Barcelona football player Gerard Pique and also slammed his new girlfriend Clara Chia Marti in a recent interview. The singer said that there’s a ‘place in hell reserved for women who don’t support other women.’
Speaking with journalist Enrique Acevedo on Mexican channel Canal Estrellas, the ‘Waka Waka’ singer said, ‘There is a place in hell reserved for women who don't support other women,’ reported Daily Mail.
She added, ‘I bought that story, that a woman needed a man to complete herself. I also had that dream of a family where the children had a mum and dad under the same roof. You don't achieve all your dreams in life but life has a way of compensating you and I think life has certainly done it with me with the marvellous two children I have who fill me with love every day. I’ve always been emotionally quite dependent on men, I’ve fallen in love with love, and I think I’ve been able to understand that story from another perspective and today I am sufficient on my own.’
'Now paradoxically, I feel complete because I depend on myself and I have two children who depend on me and that means I have to be stronger than a lioness. That strength comes out of experiencing a painful loss, of accepting it, of tolerating a frustration, of understanding that life doesn’t always bring us what we want. There are dreams that are broken and you have to pick up the little pieces from the ground and put yourself together again, and also be an example to my children… Now I’ve got more confidence in myself. I didn’t know I could end up being strong. I always thought I was more fragile. It’s true that I’ve got a bit of everything but you have to have faith,’ Shakira was quoted as saying in the Daily Mail. Shakira and Gerard Pique parted ways in June last year after she accused him of infidelity.
They had been together for 11 years and are parents to two sons, Milan and Sasha. Gerard made his relationship with his new girlfriend Clara Instagram official last month.
