The world-famous Colombian singer Shakira, who has spent years dazzling the globe with her music and electrifying performances, has now found herself in the middle of the most emotional chapter of her life — one filled with both joy and heartbreak. According to close sources, the 47-year-old star is two months pregnant with her third child, a piece of news that she and her inner circle had kept private until recently. But just as she was beginning to celebrate the miracle of new life, she was struck with devastating news about her beloved father, William Mebarak Chadid.

Shakira’s father, 93, has long been her anchor and inspiration — the man she calls her “greatest love and wisest teacher.” He was recently hospitalized in Barranquilla after a sudden and severe health complication. Reports suggest that he suffered a serious relapse following months of recovery from previous health problems. Sources close to the family said Shakira was “shattered” upon receiving the call that her father’s condition had drastically worsened.

According to one insider, Shakira fell to her knees and sobbed uncontrollably when she heard the words no daughter ever wants to hear. “She kept saying, ‘Oh my god… why did you do this to me?’ It was like she couldn’t process the pain. She had just found happiness again — and then this,” the source revealed.

The singer’s pregnancy had been a secret she intended to share with fans in a joyful announcement. After years of public heartbreak following her split from soccer star Gerard Piqué, Shakira was finally turning a new page in her life — embracing love, family, and the promise of a fresh start. But fate had other plans. “She told friends she felt like the universe was testing her again,” another source added. “She was finally smiling again, and now she’s living a nightmare.”

Shakira’s relationship with her father has always been deeply emotional. Throughout her career, she has often spoken of him as her “biggest supporter.” When he fell ill in 2022 after a serious fall, Shakira paused her professional life to care for him, spending long nights by his hospital bed and even composing music inspired by his resilience. She often shared touching photos of their time together, calling him “my rock, my hero.”

Now, as she faces another terrifying moment, those close to her say she is doing everything in her power to stay strong — not only for her unborn child but also for her father. “She’s torn between two extremes — the joy of expecting a baby and the fear of losing the man who gave her everything,” one family friend said. “She cries every night, praying that her father holds on long enough to meet his grandchild.”

Sources have revealed that Shakira has paused all upcoming projects, including several music collaborations and public appearances, to remain close to her family. She has reportedly been flying frequently between Miami and Colombia to be by her father’s side. In private, she has also turned to prayer, faith, and the comfort of her two sons, Milan and Sasha, who are said to be helping her through the emotional storm.

In one private message shared among close friends, Shakira reportedly wrote: “It’s like life is giving me a gift and taking another away at the same time. I don’t know whether to smile or cry.” The message has since made its way across social media, with fans around the world offering love and support to the global superstar.

Despite the heartbreaking circumstances, those who know Shakira best say that she continues to find strength in her father’s teachings. “He always told her to keep going, no matter what life throws her way,” said a source. “She believes that as long as she carries his spirit in her heart, he’ll never truly be gone.”

For Shakira, this is a moment of painful contradiction — the beginning of one life and the possible end of another. Her words, “Oh my god… why did you do this to me?” echo the anguish of a daughter facing the cruel timing of fate. But if her past has proven anything, it’s that Shakira is a woman of extraordinary resilience. And though she may be broken right now, the world knows she will rise again — because her father’s love has always been, and will always remain, the heartbeat behind her strength.
