Shakira is not ruling out the possibility of a new romance, but she is considering her two children before entering the dating scene again. The talented singer, who has won three Grammy awards, graces the latest cover of Rolling Stone. In a recent interview, she discussed the idea of finding love post her breakup with retired soccer player Gerard Piqué in 2022. The former couple shares two sons, Sasha, 9, and Milan, 11.
Over the past year, the 47-year-old artist has been linked to athletes like Jimmy Butler, Lewis Hamilton, and actor Lucien Laviscount. However, Shakira remained elusive when asked about having a specific romantic interest by Rolling Stone. She mentioned, “I’m not thinking about that. What space do I have for a man right now? What can I tell you, I like men. 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. But having a formal relationship, I think my kids would have to be very prepared for that, and their emotional and psychological well-being is the priority.”
Shakira wrapped up by saying, “But, hey, I’m not opposed to having friends.” Despite being open to new connections, the singer is prioritizing her children’s needs and ensuring their well-being is at the forefront before embarking on a new romantic journey.
