Popular Colombian pop star, Shakira has broken her silence for the first time since she split from Barcelona defender, Gerard Pique.
The couple had two children together during the 12 years they were together.
The 45-year-old singer was candid about how difficult life has been as her relationship with the 35-year-old Pique has fallen apart in the cover story for Elle magazine’s October issue.
She said: ‘Oh, this is really hard to talk about personally, especially as this is the first time I’ve ever addressed this situation in an interview.

“I’ve remained quiet and just tried to process it all. Um, and yeah, it’s hard to talk about it, especially because I’m still going through it, and because I’m in the public eye and because our separation is not like a regular separation.
“And so it’s been tough not only for me, but also for my kids. Incredibly difficult.’
In another report, R. Kelly was recently convicted by a federal jury of several child pornography and sex abuse charges in his hometown of Chicago. The fresh judgment has now delivered another legal blow to a singer who used to be one of the biggest R&B stars in the world.
Africa Today News, New York gathered that Kelly, 55, was found guilty by the court on three counts of child pornography as well as three counts of child enticement.
However, the jury acquitted him on a fourth pornography count as well as a conspiracy to obstruct justice charge accusing him fixing his state child pornography trial in 2008.
He was found not guilty on all three counts of conspiring to receive child pornography and for two further enticement charges.
His two co-defendants were found not guilty on all charges.
