The Colombian pop star also opened up about life as a single mom.
Shakira is getting candid about her views on marriage.
Speaking with Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1, the Colombian pop star, 47, opened up about how being married isn’t ideal for her and her music career.
The “Hips Don’t Lie” singer was in a relationship with soccer player, Gerard Piqué, for 11 years before they announced their separation in 2022. The former couple share two sons: Milan, 11, and Sasha, 9.
“In a way, it’s kind of good not to have a husband because that…I don’t know why it was dragging me down, man,” she said in the interview published Wednesday. “Now I feel like working. I feel like writing songs. I feel like making music. It’s a compulsive need of mine that I didn’t feel before.”
Shakira, who moved from Spain to the U.S. after calling it quits with Piqué, went on to admit that she’s found being a single parent to be “challenging” at times.
