Things are not getting easier for Shakira

Although Shakira’s attention is completely focused on her family, for now, the 45-year-old singer’s career is spiking high. A few weeks ago, she released the highly anticipated new single, Monotonía, featuring Ozuna. The song came with an incredible music video, shedding light on her breakup with Gerard Piqué.

The split from the Barcelona player is a big shock for the Columbian singer. Especially since he is already in a new relationship with Clara Chia Marti, the 23-year-old young PR student with whom he was allegedly unfaithful. On top of that, Shakira is facing legal troubles with accusations of tax evasion in Spain, which could lead her to spend at least eight years in prison, if things don’t work out in her favor.
