How Shakira Found Strength In Music After Her Split From Gerard Pique
Shakira has had a 'hard couple of years' since splitting from Gerard Piqu.
The 48-year-old pop star called time on her relationship with Piqu - with whom she has Milan, 12, and 10-year-old Sasha - in June 2022 after 11 years together and has now admitted that music has been her therapy throughout that time.
She told US TV show Extra: 'Songs evolve, they live their own life they evolve in peoples lives. They become the soundtrack of so many, including myself.
I remember chapters of my life through my own music and where I was back then emotionally and mentally.
'I've learned that my music has a therapeutic effect. I've been through kind of like a hard couple of years, personally, you know, with separation and all, but music has been sort of the glue that put me back together.'
