Shakira’s father, William Mebarak, has been hospitalized for several weeks. He has been experiencing health issues including contracting Covidt, suffering a fall and undergoing various surgeries. Shakira’s father, 91, is currently hospitalized in Barcelona. Meanwhile, like any ideal daughter, Shakira is trying to make sure she visits him regularly.
However, the singer shared a video from her last visit, which showed her kissing her sick father’s feet after he completed a series of strength exercises. The heartwarming video begins with Shakira helping her father exercise and ends with kissing William’s feet. Alongside the video, the pop sensation wrote in the caption: “Life is something that happens between hospital visits and Halloween costumes,” indicating that she spends a lot of time in the hospital with her father. .
Just a few days earlier, Shakira shared a sweet photo of her parents kissing in a hospital, with her father surrounded by medical equipment. The singer captioned the heartwarming snap, “True love.” Shakira seems to be going through the worst moment of her life. While her father is in the hospital, Shakira recently separated from her partner, Gerard Piqué. Shakira and Gerard Piqué separated in June this year after 12 years together.
Meanwhile, Shakira’s mother, Nidia Ripoll, confirmed that the footballer continues to visit his ex-father-in-law during his poor health. “Of course I have,” she said when asked by reporters if she had been to the hospital. “We are still family.” Nidia recently said that her husband’s condition was “stable” and that he would soon be released from the hospital, although she did not share why it was his last admission. “The family asks for respect at this time, waiting to see how this evolves,” Shakira said about her father’s health.
In addition to these, Shakira has also been involved in a tax fraud case in Spain. According to the Associated Press, prosecutors in Spain are seeking a prison sentence of eight years and two months. The outlet added that she has to pay a fine of around $25 million if the singer is convicted in her long-awaited tax fraud trial.
