Shakira is opening up about her previous relationship and the impact she says it had on her career.
In a recent interview with The Sunday Times, the mom of two talked about her 11-year relationship with Gerard Piqué and the sacrifices she says she made in order to make it work.
“For a long time I put my career on hold, to be next to Gerard, so he could play football,” Shakira said. "There was a lot of sacrifice for love."
Shakira and her ex, Piqué, first met in 2010 on the set of the "Waka Waka (This Time for Africa)" music video before publicly confirming their relationship in 2011. The exes share two children together—sons Milan, 11, and Sasha, 9.
