The nanny who had been with Shakira and Piqué’s children for a long time was let go by Piqué after she informed the singer about his suspected infidelity. In the latest music video by Shakira, the nanny makes a surprise appearance after allegedly being fired by Piqué. The video, released on Wednesday, seems to address the split between the Colombian pop star and the former Spanish footballer, hinting at the reasons behind their breakup. In the music video for the song “El Jefe,” Shakira appears to take a jab at Piqué once more, with lyrics seemingly referencing the nanny’s dismissal. The camera focuses on Lili Melgar’s face near the end of the song, while Shakira sings about not being compensated. Rumors and speculation about the couple’s split have circulated since their breakup announcement in June 2022, with Shakira alluding to the situation in her social media posts and music. Questions have been raised about the details of their separation, and representatives for Shakira and Piqué have been approached for comment.

Shakira and Piqué revealed their decision to separate in June 2022 with a statement, mentioning that their focus is on their kids’ happiness. They requested privacy during this challenging time. The former couple has two sons together: Milan, who is 10, and Sasha, who is eight. Piqué has since been romantically linked to 23-year-old PR student Clara Chia Marti, whom he was seen with just three months after his breakup with Shakira.

“It has been really challenging, not just for me, but for my kids as well. It’s been unbelievably tough. I have photographers constantly waiting outside wherever I go… there’s no escape from them when I’m with my children… I’ve been trying my best to shield them from the situation,” Shakira shared with Elle magazine in September of last year. Just last week (on September 12th), Shakira made an appearance at the MTV VMAs and was honored with the Video Vanguard Award. Before the ceremony in New Jersey, the “Hips Don’t Lie” singer graced the red carpet with her two sons.
“I was in complete shock,” the celebrity mentioned on the red carpet when asked about the prestigious award she was being presented with. “It’s a huge honor. Michael Jackson himself was a recipient, along with many other amazing artists. I’m just grateful to be included in that group.” Shakira and Piqué crossed paths for the first time in the spring of 2010, when the soccer player appeared in the music video for “Waka Waka (This Time for Africa)”, Shakira’s official song for the 2010 Fifa World Cup.
