Shakira revealed how she found out about ex Gerard Piqué's alleged infidelity in a new interview. Shakira, 46, announced her split from the former Spanish soccer star in June 2022 after 11 years together.The pop star admitted her life was "falling apart" after the breakup and opened up about how she found out he was allegedly cheating while speaking with the outlet People en Español.

The "Hips Don't Lie" singer revealed her father had been "gravely injured" around the time of the split. "He went to Barcelona to console me after I was consumed with sadness because of my separation," Shakira told the outlet. "While he was at [my son's] first communion, he was gravely injured in an accident," she recalled. "Everything happened at once.

My home was falling apart. I was finding out through the press that I had been betrayed while my dad was in the ICU." Shakira admitted she didn't think she was "going to survive" at one point. "The man I have loved the most in my life, my father, was leaving me when I needed him the most," she revealed. "I couldn’t talk to him, or go to my best friend for the advice I needed so much." Shakira's father has been recovering, although the pop star explained the process has been "very hard and slow." "He has overcome COVID once, two accidents, one pneumonia and five surgeries — all of this at 91 years of age, in less than six months.

My dad is the biggest example of resilience, and my mother has been by his side day and night," she continued. "They have both been a reflection of that dream that didn't come true for me.
