LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Shakira's life is going through a lot of ups and downs at the moment. While the Colombian singer has reportedly found her new love in Lewis Hamilton after her highly publicized separation from Gerard Pique, the "Queen of Latin Music" is counting her days as she faces the media trial regarding alleged tax fraud of almost $16 million. 

The 'Waka Waka' singer made a surprise revelation before the judge in 2019 which has been leaked recently. Reportedly, the story is from the initial days of her relationship with the Spanish footballer in 2011.

Shakira 'had no guarantees about the success of their relationship'

At the time, the duo's hectic schedules made it challenging for both of them to spend much time together. According to Marca, Pique was described as a footballer with an appealing outlook and a reputation for being a flamboyant figure by Shakira. She said that there was no guarantee about the success of their relationship initially. "I never imagined that I would live in this country because of that boy with a beard who looked incredible," she noted.
