Coldplay’s Chris Martin was there for his friend Shakira in her time of need.
The “Hips Don’t Lie” singer, 47, who publicly separated by a football star Gerard Pique in 2022, she said her musician friend was one of the people she turned to after ending her 11-year relationship.
“He was there for me when I got separated and it was heartbreaking,” Shakira shared with him Rolling Stone in a new profile on Martin published on Thursday, December 19.
“He checked in every day to see how I was doing, sending me words of support and strength and wisdom,” the Colombian pop star added.
Since Shakira and Gerard Piqué announced their split after 12 years together, she has been candid about dealing with heartbreak. “This is very difficult to talk about personally, especially since this is the first time I’ve ever addressed this situation in an interview,” the “Hips Don’t Lie” singer told Elle in profile in September 2022. (…)
According to Shakira, Martin, who is also 47, is a natural empath. “I see him as a person who sees life through a different lens, who is sensitive to other people’s needs and very empathetic, very empathetic,” he said.
Shakira and Piqué, who share sons Milan, 11, and Sasha, 9, publish separated in June 2022. “We regret to confirm that we are separating. For the welfare of our children, which is our highest priority, we ask that you respect their privacy,” they said in a joint statement.
Shortly after their split, Piqué moved on Spanish girlfriend Clara Chia Martí25.
In an interview in September 2022 with Elle magazine, Shakira she opened about her painful cleavage by the retired football player.
“This is very difficult to talk about personally, especially since this is the first time I’ve ever addressed this situation in an interview,” explained the “She Wolf” singer. “I’ve stayed calm and just trying to process it all. … It’s hard to talk about, especially because I’m still going through it, and because I’m in the public eye and because our separation isn’t like a regular separation.”
The way it was. Shakira and soccer player Gerard Piqué were together for 12 years before announcing their eventual split. “(Gerard) is with me because he wants to be with Shakira the person, not the celebrity,” Shakira, who was first linked to the professional athlete in 2011, previously told Latina magazine in 2014. “There is real love, there is no (…)
“It’s been hard not only for me, but also for my kids,” Shakira told the outlet. “Incredibly difficult. … I have tried to hide the situation from my children. I try to do it and protect them, because that is my most important mission in life. But then they hear things at school from their friends or they come across unpleasant and disturbing news online, and it affects them, you know?”
In June 2023, Shakira said she was “betrayed” while her father, William Mebarak Chadidin the hospital.
Soccer star Gerard Piqué has moved on from his ex-girlfriend Shakira with Clara Chia. The two were first linked in August 2022 when they were spotted packing on the PDA at a Dani Martín concert in Puigcerdà, Spain, according to photos obtained by Spanish outlet Telecinco. The “She Wolf” singer and the retired athlete from FC Barcelona had (…)
“(My father) went to Barcelona to comfort me after I felt sad because of my separation,” he said People in Spanish at the time. “While (my son) was in Milan’s first communion, he was seriously injured in an accident. Everything happened at once. My home was falling apart. I was finding out through the press that I had been betrayed while my father was in the ICU.”
Shakira said she thought she “wasn’t going to survive” the hardship. “The man I have loved most in my life, my father, left me when I needed him the most. I couldn’t talk to him or go to my best friend for the advice I needed so much,” she said of her father’s “very hard and slow” recovery process. Her father eventually pulled through his health scare.
