Shakira continues to express her feelings towards her ex-boyfriend Gerard Piqué with a unique twist in her latest music video. Collaborating with the US-based Mexican band Fuerza Régida, the Colombian superstar released a Spanish language track called “El Jefe,” which tells the story of a man who aspires to rise above his humble origins and achieve success. In a clear display of lingering frustration towards Piqué, Shakira decided to include Lili Melgar, the former nanny who was allegedly dismissed without proper compensation, in the video. Shot in Miami, where Shakira currently resides following the end of her relationship with Piqué, the video features JOP, the lead singer of Fuerza Régida, portraying a local factory worker. Sporting a tasseled black dress and knee-high boots, Shakira captivates viewers with her powerful dance moves and even rides a flamenco dancing horse. As the storyline progresses, Shakira and JOP escape their small town by hitching a ride on a migrant truck, symbolizing their desire to break free from their past and embrace new opportunities.
Shakira has once again expressed her ongoing frustration with her ex-partner Gerard Piqué in her latest music video, indicating that her feelings towards their difficult breakup are far from fading away.
Fresh drop: Shakira, the renowned Colombian artist, has joined forces with the talented group Fuerza Régida to unveil their latest masterpiece, El Jefe. This captivating composition narrates the tale of an ambitious blue-collar individual yearning to escape the confinement of his humble hometown.
Well-known visitor: The footage also showcases an unexpected cameo of her beloved nanny, Lili Melgar – who, rumour has it, was dismissed by Pique without fair remuneration.
Back in the day, Melgar worked as a nanny for Shakira’s kids, Milan and Sasha, until the singer’s split from Piqué. Interestingly, in her latest video, Shakira gives a shoutout to her longtime nanny, who surprisingly makes an appearance at the end of the video. In the song, Shakira sings about the nanny not being paid severance, referring to the previous claims that Piqué let Melgar go without compensation. Melgar, who appears sternly in the camera shot, used to work as a nanny for Shakira’s children and was frequently seen with the family during their trips abroad. However, she was allegedly fired by Piqué without receiving any payment after informing Shakira about his alleged infidelity. Last June, the former couple officially announced the end of their 11-year relationship, shortly after Piqué was accused of cheating. Piqué, who is now in a new relationship with model Clara Chia Marti, later denied any claims of an affair and stated that there was no infidelity on his part. Spanish broadcaster José Antonio Avilés has recently revealed that the former couple had been in a mutually agreed open relationship for three years prior to their separation.
In motion: Shakira teams up with Fuerza Régida as they make their getaway from their humble town on the bed of a pickup truck, embodying the song’s aspirations of achieving greatness.
Tiring Labor: In the music video, JOP, the frontman of the band, takes on the role of the song’s optimistic main character, who toils away in a dirty industrial plant.
Allegedly, Shakira and Piqué were rumored to have been involved in an unconventionally open relationship. However, these rumors were followed by allegations of unfaithfulness, ultimately resulting in a contentious breakup and a subsequent agreement concerning the custody of their two children.
Shakira’s talent for mesmerizing hip-shaking remains as strong as ever, as demonstrated in a captivating new video made for her latest single.
In addition, the vocalist showcases a fresh braided hairstyle in a separate segment of the music video.
In the video, the viewer is treated to the sight of a vibrant Shakira, clad in a striking red leather outfit, riding a horse. As the video plays, it becomes evident that Shakira and former partner Gerard Piqué had an agreement that allowed them to live their lives freely while remaining a couple in the public eye. According to Avilés, a trusted source quoted in El Nacional de Catalunya, Shakira’s candid admission about their open relationship has left Piqué’s inner circle in shock. It seems that the footballer himself was taken aback as well, learning about it from the media rather than from Shakira herself. The rumor mill suggests that Piqué’s friends and family were surprised by Shakira’s revelations of infidelity. However, Pilar Vidal, another respected journalist, notes that Piqué wants to quash speculations about the reason for their breakup being unfaithfulness, emphasizing that Shakira was the one who initiated the decision. Since the separation, Shakira has relocated to Miami and been granted full custody of their two children, Milan and Sasha. Rumors have also linked her romantically to Formula One driver Lewis Hamilton. Last June, she took to Instagram to confirm the end of her relationship with Piqué, but some had already anticipated this news. Spanish tabloids had previously alleged that the couple’s bond was on shaky ground, with allegations of Piqué’s betrayal.
It’s a wrap! Making an announcement on Instagram in June 2021, the Colombian vocalist revealed that her romantic relationship with the ex-FC Barcelona and Spain national footballer, Piqué, had come to an end.
Moving forward: Piqué, who is now in a new relationship with model Clara Chia Marti, has denied any claims of infidelity, stating that he did not cheat.
Her statement was brief: ‘We sadly confirm that we are going our separate ways. In order to prioritize the well-being of our children, we kindly ask for respect for their privacy. Thank you for your understanding.’
According to Spanish outlet El Periodico, the couple had been living apart for several weeks after the singer asked him to leave their family home.
Neither party addressed the allegations of cheating, but journalist Emilio Pérez reported: ‘(Shakira) has made the decision to separate. That is true. It has happened.
‘That is why there is distance. Maybe there is nothing more to it, but infidelity has played a part.’
Shakira later opened up about the challenges she faced as her relationship with the footballer fell apart in an interview with ELLE magazine’s October issue.
She shared: ‘Oh, it is really difficult to discuss this personally, especially since this is the first time I am addressing this situation in an interview.
‘I have chosen to stay silent and process everything. It is tough to talk about it, especially because I am still going through it, and because I am in the public eye and our separation is not like a typical breakup.
‘So it has been incredibly difficult, not just for me, but also for my children.’
Update: In November, the former couple made an announcement confirming that they had come to an agreement regarding the custody of their two children. This has been a challenging process for both of them, as ensuring the well-being of their children is their top priority. Unfortunately, the children have been exposed to negative influences, such as hearing things at school or encountering unpleasant news online, which has had an impact on them.
Previously, in November, the former couple released a statement after a lengthy 12-hour meeting with their lawyers, confirming that they had reached a custody agreement for their two children. Piqué reportedly supported Shakira’s decision to relocate to Miami with their sons to avoid a prolonged legal battle. The main sticking point in their previous failed attempt to reach an out-of-court settlement was Shakira’s desire to move to the city where she used to live and where part of her family still resides. In a joint statement, they expressed their commitment to ensure the children’s well-being and requested that their privacy be respected. The agreement will be formalized and ratified in court. The statement was signed by both Shakira and Gerard Piqué.
