Shakira recently revealed the emotional toll her past relationship with former footballer Gerard Piqué had on her music career, particularly its impact on her ability to create a full album. In a candid interview, the global pop sensation opened up about how the demands of their relationship, combined with personal struggles, affected her creativity and artistic process.

**“I felt creatively stifled at times,”** Shakira admitted, explaining that the pressures of maintaining a high-profile relationship while balancing motherhood left little room for her to fully immerse herself in her music. She described how the emotional strain during certain phases of the relationship made it challenging to complete a cohesive body of work.
Shakira hinted that the complexity of her personal life during her time with Piqué led to prolonged gaps between projects, stating that she often prioritized family over her musical ambitions. Despite this, Shakira has always remained committed to her craft, using music as a way to process her emotions and navigate difficult experiences.
Now, following their highly publicized split, Shakira is refocusing on her music, suggesting that the end of the relationship has brought a sense of creative freedom.
Fans are eagerly anticipating the possibility of a full album, inspired by both her experiences and her renewed dedication to her artistry.
