Shakira is enjoying her single life this summer and not focusing on dating, according to a new interview.
Despite rumors linking her to celebrities like Tom Cruise and Lewis Hamilton, the singer cleared up the gossip in a recent interview with Rolling Stone for their July–August 2024 cover story, the 47-year-old made one thing clear, “I’m not thinking about that,” and questioned, “What space do I have for a man right now?”
While she’s not looking for a serious relationship at the moment, the “Hips Don’t Lie” singer remains open to the idea of dating in the future. “What can I tell you, I like men,” she admitted to the publication. “That’s the problem. I shouldn’t like them with everything that’s happened to me, but imagine how much I like men that I still like them.”
Following her split from longtime partner Gerard Piqué, Shakira emphasized that her priority is her children’s emotional and psychological well-being. “I think my kids would have to be very prepared for that,” she explained to the magazine. However, she hinted at the possibility of casual dating to the outlet, saying, “Hey, I’m not opposed to having friends.”
Singer Shakira (L) and her husband and footballer Gerard Pique of FC Barcelona (R) react in the stands as they watch the singles final match between Rafael Nadal of Spain and Denis Shapovalov of Canada… ALEX PANTLING/GETTY IMAGESShakira and Piqué, who ended their 11-year relationship in June 2022, share two sons: Milan, 11, and Sasha, 9. They initially met on the set of her 2010 World Cup song, “Waka Waka.”
Spanish media suggested that the 35-year-old Spain and Barcelona defender was unfaithful, as reported by The Sun, leading to their breakup. However, the three time Grammy winner, in a September 2022 interview with Elle, cited another reason, saying she had to “sacrifice” her career for Piqué’s and their children, a compromise he did not reciprocate.
“I’ve remained quiet and just tried to process it all,” she said. “It’s hard to talk about it, especially because I’m still going through it, and because I’m in the public eye.”
Shakira also mentioned the impact on their children, stating, “I’ve tried to conceal the situation in front of my kids. I try to do it and to protect them, because that’s my number one mission in life,” she explained. “But then they hear things in school from their friends or they come across some disagreeable, unpleasant news online, and it just affects them, you know?”
