Shakira didn’t shy away from the track being FU for her past in general… going on to say that much of her personal life, including a nasty breakup, led her to create an anthem for women. everywhere.
As she puts it… her fan base has now become a sisterhood, she says she knows she’s had to put up with a lot of “gaps”. as if he had finished his work last year and change.
Of course, he’s implying that Pike is dating a much younger woman – a 23-year-old. Clara Chia Marti … with whom GP went public last year. According to reports, she is a PR student who works for Pike’s production company and manages his events.
Anyway, Shakira gave the people what they wanted on ‘Fallon’ … performing the hit song and getting the entire audience up and dancing. Clearly… they’re on his side.

At one point in his appearance, he posed backstage with all the Guinness World Records he’s broken since the song’s release—14 of them, in fact—as the single continues to make numbers and cement him in the music/popular culture history books.
As a result, the titles he now holds include … Most streamed Latin track in 24 hours on Spotify, Most streamed Latin track in 24 hours on YouTube, Fastest Latin track to reach 100 million views on YouTube and Most Streamed Latin track in Spotify for a week.
There’s more…but you get the gist. The song absolutely kills it, putting Shakira over the top once again — a testament to her staying power and how she’s loved around the world.
The aftermath of her and Pike’s breakup was pretty rough, and for good reason — they were together for 11 years and shared two children … Sasha and Milan. Many people think that his ending with Shakira was unceremonious and rather scandalous.
Shakira looks good now, but still very good.
Congrats on your comeback, Shak!
