Shakira revealed how heartbroken she was to learn of Gerard Pique's betrayal, while her father was battling for his life in the hospital.

In June of last year, the well-known performer announced her split from former Barcelona star Pique amid rumours that he had been seen with another lady.

According to reports, Shakira discovered he was cheating when she discovered an empty jam jar in their refrigerator which she and her kids don't consume jam.

She then deduced that Pique had undoubtedly invited a secret guest over after all the evidence she had gathered.

Shakira has now revealed how the two incidents left her devastated and prevented her from turning to her adored father William Mebarak Chadid for the advice that she needed so much.

Shakira speaks about how both incidents affected her

Shakira has opened up on her breakup with Pique and how her father got his injury leading to double pain for her.

According to the Sun, Shakira said, "He went to Barcelona to console me after I was consumed with sadness because of my separation.

"While he was at Milan’s first communion, he was gravely injured in an accident. Everything happened at once. My home was falling apart.

"I was finding out through the press that I had been betrayed while my dad was in the ICU."

The Colombian singer recalled her father's rapid arrival at her side for consolation following the separation from Gerard Pique.

The Colombian musician has said that despite her father’s injury, he has been supportive during her divorce from Pique.

She recalls feeling as though she wasn't going to withstand the hardships life had in store for her without her adored father by her side.

Shakira said, as reported by the Sun, "The man I have loved the most in my life, my father, was leaving me when I needed him the most. I couldn’t talk to him, or go to my best friend for the advice I needed so much."

Shakira acknowledged that despite his hard and slow recuperation from the incident, he had been her pillar of support throughout the tumultuous conflict with Pique.

"My dad is the biggest example of resilience, and my mother has been by his side day and night."

Despite being compelled to leave for a new beginning and delaying her move to Miami purportedly because of her father's failing health.
