Shakira fans have been waiting for a new album for almost a decade… and her ex Gerard Pique may be to blame, at least according to Shakira herself.
The singer-songwriter spoke to the Sunday Times for an interview published on Saturday … in which she revealed she had essentially put her career on hold to help Gerard turn around his playing days in Barcelona.
Shakira explained that she made a lot of sacrifices in the name of love (which we know didn't last) and decided to take care of the kids instead of focusing on her music.
Naturally, Gerard and Shakira split in the summer of 2022, with rumors of infidelity swirling as the couple went their separate ways.

Shakira's path has taken her from Spain and to Miami with whom she quickly became friends David Beckham – who she said she knew before she started dating Gerard, when DB played for Barcelona's rivals Real Madrid.
The Colombian star said she is in constant contact with Victoria Beckham …and she hopes to take her son with her Milan to a football game in Miami, completely leaving my dear old dad out of the picture.
Shakira, by the way, remained above the whole Piqué fray during the interview – although she did admit that it seemed cosmic justice that one of his old football rivals Sergio Ramos presented her with a Latin Grammy.

She also skipped talking about her case of tax fraud — instead, she chose to focus on her first studio album in seven years, “Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran,” which translates to “Women No Longer Cry”… a bit of a wink and a nudge in the back to a certain ex?
In any case, it looks like Shakira is finally focused on herself again… and Gerard better be wary of bitter fans who might have wanted an album a little sooner.
