Shakira says she doesn't think she'll ever find love again after release album

Shakira has confessed she doesn't think she will ever find love again after her split from former Barcelona footballer Gerard Pique.

The pair announced their split after 11 years together in June, 2022, after she learnt he had allegedly been unfaithful.

Gerard, 37, is now dating model girlfriend Clara Chia Marti, 25, after she moved into the home he used to share with the singer last August.

'I might not grow old with a partner, but I will grow old surrounded by good friends.'

Shakira also said being with Gerard, with whom she shares two sons, Milan, 11, and Sasha, nine, was dragging her down and now she can focus once again on her music.

Shakira realised her ex Gerard was having an affair when she discovered a jar of strawberry jam had been eaten while she was away.

And her new 'revenge album' doesn't shy away from multiple references to Gerard and his girlfriend in the lyrics.

In her track Shakira: Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 53. with Argentine DJ Bizarrap, she sings: 'I'm too big for you', which
