During his relationship with Gerard Piqué, Shakira maintained a narrow, although conflictive, link with his exsuegra, Montserrat Bernabeu. With the passage of time, that relationship became tense and left a deep mark on the singer’s life. In various interviews, Shakira has shared how certain attitudes and advice from Bernabeu influenced key decisions that affected both their image and their career.
One of the most revealing episodes was when Bernabeu advised him to cut his hair. What for many could be an aesthetic suggestion, for Shakira it became a symbol of identity loss. Years later, the artist described him as “the worst mistake of her life”, ensuring that this change strongly impacted her trust and self -esteem.
Montserrat Bernabeu, recognized doctor and mother of the former soccer player, had a very present role during her son’s relationship with the singer. However, Shakira perceived that behind certain decisions there was an intention to mold or control it. One of the most commented moments was a viral video where Bernabeu is seen asking the singer to shut up in a public act, reflecting the wear of the link between them.
The relationship with his exsuegra was even approached by Shakira in his music. In one of his most popular post-separation songs, the phrase “You left me from neighbor to the mother -in -law” It exposes the emotional weight that coexistence had in your life.
In spite of everything, Shakira managed to rebuild himself. Today, with a new artistic and personal stage, demonstrates how it is possible to overcome negative influences and recover authenticity. His story is also that of a woman who shone again, even after feeling silenced.
