Shakira recently addressed a rumor surrounding her breakup with ex-partner Gerard Piqué. In a recent interview with The Sunday Times, the 47-year-old singer denied claims that Piqué's alleged infidelity was revealed through a jar of jam, stating simply, 'Not true.'
The couple publicly ended their 11-year relationship in June 2022 and share two sons, Milan and Sasha. Following their split, Piqué began dating Clara Chia Marti.
Speculation arose when Shakira released the song and music video for 'Te Felicito' with Rauw Alejandro just two months before their breakup. The music video, featuring a scene of Shakira looking in her fridge, led to assumptions about how she may have discovered Piqué's new relationship.
During an interview on This Morning in May 2022, Shakira mentioned looking in the fridge 'to find the truth' and referenced finding the head of Rauw Alejandro. Reports from a Spanish TV show suggested that Shakira suspected infidelity after noticing missing jam upon returning from a trip, as neither Piqué nor their children consumed that flavor.
Despite ongoing social media speculation, Shakira dismissed the jam-related theory in her recent interview with The Sunday Times, claiming ignorance of the topic.
Shakira also discussed prioritizing love over her career, highlighting the sacrifices made to support Piqué's football career. Her upcoming album, 'Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran' (Women No Longer Cry), entirely in Spanish, is set for release by Sony Latin. The album is described as a representation of transforming pain into creativity and vulnerability into resilience.
Reflecting on her life challenges, Shakira shared, 'There were so many pieces of my life that crumbled in front of my eyes, and I had to rebuild myself... The glue that kept it all together was music.'
