Shakira claims Gerard Piqué 'dragged her down'

During an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Monday, the Colombian hitmaker claimed that her relationship with the retired football star had held back her career. "I've been putting out music here and there but it was really hard for me to put together a body of work," Shakira, 47, told the talk show host about her new album. "I didn't have time because of the husband factor," the performer continued. "Now I'm husbandless. Yeah, the husband was dragging me down. Now I'm free. Now I can actually work."
