Pop icon Shakira reflected on the idea of happiness after moving on from a painful breakup with longtime boyfriend Gerard Piqué
The Whenever Wherever singer opened up on coping with life following the split with ex Gerard Piqué over cheating allegations and single-handedly raising her two children.
Shakira, in a conversation with Billboard, shared that she can't summarize the idea of happiness. She said, “I don't think everyone has access to happiness. It's reserved for a very select number of people, and I can't say I'm part of the club at this moment.”
The Waka Waka crooner also discussed revitalizing her music career, saying that she has channeled the pain of her break-up into her music.
Shakira admitted, “Nothing can compensate for the pain of destroying a family.” She went on to add, “Of course, I have to keep going for my children's sake; that's my greatest motivation. But my biggest dream, more than collecting platinum albums and Grammys, was to raise my sons with their father. Overcome obstacles and grow old together. I know I'm not getting that now.'
