This summer, Shakira broke up with her lover, Gerard Pique, after 12 years of relationship. According to the sources, the singer left the football player because of his many betrayals.

And now the former couple is solving the custody issue. Gerard Pique even agreed to give the children, but with conditions.

Previously, the couple did not comment on this news in any way, but now Shakira decided to speak about this for the first time.

In a new interview with ELLE magazine, the singer admitted that although it is difficult for her to talk about it, there is no point in hiding it anymore.

‘I kept quiet and tried to get through it.Yeah, it’s really hard for me to talk about it now. Our breakup happened in public, so it’s not only difficult for me, but also for our children.

Paparazzi follow me in my house 24/7.I have no place to hide from them, we can’t walk in the park like a normal family.

You know, I’m not ready to reveal the details of our breakup, but I want to say that I sacrificed myself and my career for our love.

And thanks to this, our children have a real mother. There is an amazing connection between me and them. That’s all I can say.’

Recall that Shakira and Gerard Pique started dating in 2010, but they confirmed their romance only a year later. The stars are raising two sons: 7-year-old Sasha and 9-year-old Milan.
