Shakira‘s all about that single life … straight-up saying being married weighed her down, and put a damper on her music career.

The Colombian singer was with soccer player Gerard Piqué for 11 years before they separated in 2022 amid infidelity rumors … and she told Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1 that with Gerard outta the picture, she’s now got a compulsive urge to work and make music like never before.

Shakira’s singledom ain’t all sunshine and rainbows though … she’s also keeping it real about the challenges of being a single parent to her sons, 11-year-old Milan and 9-year-old Sasha.

This ain’t the first time Shakira’s gently lashed out about how Gerard negatively impacted her career — she also told the Sunday Times she sacrificed her music-making journey in the name of love.
