Shakira feels she will not find love again after a bitter break up with Gerard Piqué
Shakira
It has been two years since her split from Gerard Piqué but Shakira still is unsure about what her future love life is going to be. In a recent interview, Shakiraexplained that following her break up with Gerard, she is prioritising 'friendship' over everything else.
Gerard and Shakira broke up after being together for 12 years. They sharetwo sons, Milan, 11, and Sasha, 9.
"I think friendship lasts longer than love," Shakira said to Zane Lowe in an interview for Apple Music 1. "Though I still think experiencing love, fully experiencing it with all its peaks and valleys, it's so essential to the human life."
The 47-year-old continued, "I love love, but I think I even love friendship a little bit more. Because I thought love would be there forever for me. And that's one of my, you know, broken dreams. Perhaps I will. I don't know if I'll like find that again. Probably not. Well, I don't know. But friendship, I have."
Shakira stated thatshe had not valued frienships earlier and had put being in a relationship first.
"I wasn't one of those people who valued friendship as much. I've always valued family and having a partner in a couple. I've always been in a couple," she explained.
"But then when that wasn't there, and when I lost my boys and when I had to face the darkest and the hardest moments of my life, friends were there and they kept me together," Shakira continued.

"Those who did really showed me the true, the true meaning of life. I might not grow old with a partner, but I will grow old surrounded by good friends."
The singer has been evidently heartbroken after the relationship with Gerard ended. In another interview, she rued that she gave up professional opportunities to spend time with Piqué while he was playing for FC Barcelona.
"For a long time, I put my career on hold, to be next to Gerard, so he could play football," Shakira told The Sunday Times. "There was a lot of sacrifice for love."
