Colombian singer, Shakira has hit out at her ex-partner, Gerard Pique’s new girlfriend, Clara Chia, while also revealing how she has strengthened from their split.
In a new interview, the ‘Hips Don’t Lie’ singer stated that there is a place in hell reserved for women who don’t support other women.
She said, “I bought that story, that a woman needed a man to complete herself. I also had that dream of a family where the children had a mum and dad under the same roof.
You don’t achieve all your dreams in life but life has a way of compensating you and I think life has certainly done it with me with the marvellous two children I have who fill me with love every day.
I’ve always been emotionally quite dependent on men I’ve fallen in love with love and I think I’ve been able to understand that story from another perspective, and today I am sufficient on my own.”
“When a woman has to face life’s battles she comes out stronger, the singer added, “Now paradoxically I feel complete because I depend on myself and I have two children who depend on me and that means I have to be stronger than a lioness.
That strength comes out of experiencing a painful loss, accepting it, tolerating frustration, of understanding that life doesn’t always bring us what we want. There are dreams that are broken and you have to pick up the little pieces from the ground and put yourself together again, and also be an example to my children.”
The Grammy winner concluded: “Now I’ve got more confidence in myself. I didn’t know I could end up being strong. I always thought I was more fragile. It’s true that I’ve got a bit of everything but you have to have faith.”
Veteran family lawyer Ramon Tamborero, who represented the ex-footballer in his negotiations with the Colombian artiste, insisted: “They have made a great effort for the good of their children, making sure they weren’t the protagonists. Both of them have shown great intelligence.”
