The 47-year-old Colombian diva was in an 11-year relationship with the 37-year-old Spanish former player, with whom she has two boys, Milan, 11, and Sasha, 9. She blames the relationship for the lack of albums she released throughout their time together.
“I’ve been releasing music here and there, but it was difficult for me to put together a body of work. I didn’t have time due to the husband factor. “Now I’m husbandless, but the husband was dragging me down,” the “Hips Don’t Lie” singer told Jimmy Fallon Monday night on “The Tonight Show.” She was appearing to promote her new album, “Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran,” which was released on Friday.
