In this talk she had with Leila Cobo, the 46-year-old artist opened her heart and spoke in depth about how she feels at this moment in her life and also looked nostalgically to the past to reveal her biggest frustrated dreams.

"When a family is destroyed, I believe that there is nothing that can compensate for that pain. Of course, I have to keep going for my children and that is my greatest motivation. But my biggest dream in life, more than collecting platinum records and Grammys, it was raising my children with their father, having a family, you know? Going over the problems, the obstacles, and overcoming them, and growing old next to someone, I know I'm not going to have this. recognized the artist when taking stock of her professional and personal life.

"I think it's not compatible sometimes," commented the artist, who is a mother very present in the life of his two children, Milan and Sasha, ages 10 and 8, who despite the big change they have experienced when moving to Miami, have adapted well.

"In Barcelona, being “children of” and the whole media situation weighed heavily on them. We had the paparazzi at the door of the house every day. Here they are ordinary children who enjoy normality," commented Shakira, who also announced that she is preparing a tour for next year.
