Shakira's Sons: The Root of Her Resilience
Her life finds significance in the presence of her sons - Offspring serve as the driving force behind her existence
Shakira, dubbed the "Latina Music Queen," isn't just owning the stage at her 64 sold-out shows across North and South America - she's smirking at two million fans with a grit that's been honed by life's curveballs. The tour, "Women Don't Cry Anymore," is a testament to her latest album, birthed from heartaches and personal turmoil. Collapsing on a BBC backstage tour prior to her Miami performance at the Hard Rock Stadium, the diva reveals, "Ain't nobody gonna keep a queen down, am I right?"
Her chapter with ex-footballer Gerard Piqué (38) drew to a close in 2022. With a glimmer in her eyes, she confessed to her crowd, "You might've seen me stumble, but that's cool; life ain't a goddamn ballet." And from the battle scars, creativity blooms.
Shakira hopped back onto the scene, breaking years of silence. In "BZRP Music Sessions #53," a collaboration with Argentine producer Bizarrap, she leveled up her game, digging at her ex and his new dude with pulse-pounding lyrics, like, "Thought you'd broken me, but you just made me stronger, y'know."
Distraction Through Work, Strength from Her Kids
Shakira's got a heavy schedule and drama weighing her down, but she ain't got time for sadness with two energetic bundles of joy at home. "Putting on the kind of show that's gonna melt your faces every night ain't exactly a walk in the park, especially when you're feeling a little blue." She credits the adrenaline rush for keeping her feet on the ground and her heart from crumbling.
Then there's her Colombian demons, Milan (12) and Sasha (10), who make her heart flutter like a hummingbird when they pop up on the video screens, cooing her favorite tunes. "Nothing gets me through the tough times like my babies. They're my engines, my lifelines, my whole fucking reason for living."
Shakira's Children: The Pulse of Her Life and Music
Shakira, the mom-of-two, reveals that her children have transformed her world completely, with Milan being born on January 22, 2013, and Sasha on January 29, 2015. The mini-mes have had an immense impact on her life, shaping her career and personal growth in ways she never anticipated.
- Family First: Embracing her role as a mother has taken precedence over everything. However, she manages to harmonize her life between her demanding career and her family, making personal sacrifices where necessary.
- Ideas Galore: Her sons are her beacon of inspiration, influencing the music she churns out and the stories she crafts. She's even penned songs just for them.
- Open Book: Her children are an integral part of her persona. The world glimpses into glimmers of her family life through interviews and social media, showcasing the loving bond she shares with her sons.
I'm not gonna let my kids go, they're the pulse of my life and music. In the midst of entertainments and celebrity drama, my boys are my source of strength and inspiration.
