Shakira has broken her silence on her split from long-term beau Gerard Pique.
The songstress, who shares two children with the footballer, described the break-up as the 'darkest period of her life' in the October edition of Elle magazine.
They were an item for 12 years and share two sons, nine-year-old Milan and seven-year-old Sasha, and the Waka Waka singer has avoided discussing the subject until now.
