The two met during the filming of Shakira’s ‘Waka Waka’ music video which served as the 2010 World Cup Football anthem. They share two boys, Milan, 9 and Sasha 7 and have been together for more than a decade.
Shakira’s fans are quick to point out the lyrics of her latest song ‘Te Felecito’ which translates to Congratulations as something that may be related to her split with long-time partner.
The Spanish song lyrics translated to English:
“For pleasing you, I broke into pieces
They warned me but I didn’t pay attention
I realized you were fake
It was the drop that spilled the glass
Don’t tell me you’re sorry, that sounds sincere, but I know you well and I know you’re lying.”
