The famous producer behind the hit song “Hips Don’t Lie” opened up about her recent breakup with Gerard Piqué.

Shakira has officially embraced her strong woman era as she embraces being “husbandless” after splitting from her partner of 11 years, Gerard Piqué. Making an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on NBC on Monday, the Hips Don’t Lie hitmaker, 47, looked phenomenal in a studded mini dress and platform heels as she bared all about her former relationship. The Colombian star rocked an archival dress hanging from the shoulders, embellished with paisley motifs and grunge-core shapes crafted from vampy studs. With a sweetheart neckline, ragged hemline, and thigh-skimming length, Shakira made a serious statement in the striking number.

Shakira was spotted behind the scenes on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon on Monday, March 25th. The mother of two sported her caramel-hued hair in her signature beachy waves, with curls cascading down to her waist. She flaunted a daring makeup look featuring bubblegum-toned eyeshadow, a golden bronzer, and matching frosted pink lips.

Singer Shakira stunned in an ethereal vintage dress, sparking discussions about her comeback after a seven-year break from music. During an interview with Jimmy, she explained the long hiatus, attributing it to the difficulty of compiling a body of work. “It was the husband. Now I’m husbandless. Yeah, the husband was dragging me down. Now I’m free. Now I can actually work,” Shakira revealed candidly. Shakira and Gerard, who have two sons together, were in a relationship for over a decade but never officially tied the knot.

Shakira and Gerard ended their relationship in 2022 after being together for 11 years and having two children. This is not the first time the singer has blamed her ex-partner for hindering her success. In an interview with The Times, she mentioned putting her career on hold to support Gerard with his football career. Reflecting on writing her 16-track album, Shakira admitted feeling raw and going through a lot. She described it as picking up the pieces of herself from the floor and trying to rebuild herself, with music serving as the glue. Shakira publicly addressed her relationship with the Spanish soccer player in June 2022, following their 11-year marriage. Reports suggested that Shakira was devastated by rumors linking Gerard to his current partner, Clara Chia Marti, alleging infidelity.

Shakira and Piqué began dating in 2011 but eventually decided to end their relationship after rumors of infidelity surfaced. In a statement, she expressed regret over the decision to part ways and asked for privacy for their children, who are their top priority. Thank you for understanding.
