- This is how Shakira feels after the breakup
In an interview with Elle, Shakira (45) describes the split from Piqué (35) as her "darkest hour' and admits: "Sometimes I just feel like this is all a bad dream and that I'm going to wake up at some point."
Especially with regard to their two children, life has become more difficult since the relationship ended:
"It’s been tough not only for me, but also for my kids. Incredibly difficult. I have paparazzi camping outside, in front of my house, 24/7. And there’s not a place where I can hide from them with my kids, except for my own house. You know, we can’t take a walk in the park like a regular family or go have an ice cream or do any activity without paparazzi following us.", explains Shakira.
