The relationship of
Shakira with her parents It can’t be closer. Especially following Piqué’s breakup and the complicated sentimental phase that she has experienced in the last year. The singer’s latest publication is new evidence that the harmony between them is unbeatable. The Colombian singer has published a photograph of her on her Instagram account in which she appears with her mother,
Nidia del Carmen Ripoll, and an affectionate text that says: “Yes, at my age and still sitting on my mom’s lap.” In the image we can see the two melted into a hug and smiling at the camera.
It is not the first time (nor will it be the last) that the artist highlights the importance that her mother has had in her life. In fact, a few days ago, when she went up to pick up the
Woman of the Year award At the first edition of the Women in Music Awards, in Miami, she dedicated part of her speech to thanking the woman who gave her life and dedicated the award to her.
«There is a very special woman for me, who has inspired me more than anyone, who is not here today, is my mother, Nidia Ripoll. Mommy, if you’re watching me on TV, despite the difficulties you’ve faced this year, you’re still standing, with your boundless love and resilience. For me, mommy, you have been the woman of the year », said the emotional singer.
He also remembered her on May 14, when Mother’s Day is celebrated in the United States. Then, the interpreter of ‘Te feliciti’ published another photograph, in this case of her mother kissing her father, William Mebarak, who has had health problems for a long time, with another emotional phrase: “Happy Mother’s Day to the woman who taught me to love.
How is your relationship with your mother and how has it influenced your life and career?
Since he left Barcelona,
Shakira has settled in Miami with their parents and their children. If the role of her parents during her relationship with the Catalan player was rather discreet (the singer herself came to baptize Nidia as “the invisible mother”) since the Colombian left Barcelona, her day-to-day life has made it possible for good harmony that already existed between parents and daughter has become a more publicized act (she herself promotes it, as we have seen in her networks and her speeches).
And it is normal, in fact, as Shakira herself explained in her words, she owes her mother much more than her life (which is not little). She owes him, among other things, the choice of a name that has become a letter of introduction and synonymous with success. Her parents opted for a word of Arabic origin: Shakira is the feminine form of “shaker” which comes from the Arabic word shukr and means “thank you.” The singer’s father
William Mebarak Chadidis an American originally from New York with Lebanese descent who immigrated to Colombia when he was only five years old.

Many years later, William would meet Nidia Ripoll. Although he had time to form another family along the way, prior to the singer’s. In fact, with his first wife, Lucila, he had eight children. Until one fine day
Nidia Ripoll crossed his path.
«She worked in a friend’s company, and one day I saw the wind sticking her skirts to her legs, and I fell in love. And I thought: “Now your peace of mind is over, William…”, Shakira’s father recounted in an interview for La Vanguardia.
No sooner said than done. The relationship between Nidia and William led to the birth of a girl who, already at the age of ten, appeared and won (for three consecutive years) a children’s television contest. Behind that talent was, as her own father explained, her mother: «From Nidia Shakira she has inherited her
mental agility and his discipline. Shakira brought her grades from school and Nidia always told her: “You can get a better grade next time, daughter, make an effort!” And that’s how she stimulated her, “she recounted.
The discretion of Shakira’s mother has been, over the years, her greatest asset and on few occasions she has manifested herself in public. “It is very important to give your child security. In my case I am
my daughter’s friend and that always gives him confidence in everything he undertakes, “he recounted a long time ago.
Although it has not been made visible, Nobody has always been by his daughter’s side, also in the backstage of his tours,
supporting her daughter. Her image only went viral once, when the singer organized a dinner with her parents and Antonio de la Rúa, who at that time was regarding to become her partner before the Catalan footballer was.
The grandmother has also been a babysitter for her grandchildren while the daughter was on tour. She has been a confidante and friend when things went wrong. She has even acted on some occasion as a spokesperson for her daughter in
delicate moments: She was the one who, in 2017, when the first rumors of a crisis between her daughter and the Catalan soccer player who has now rebuilt her life with Clara Chia, she traveled to Spain and spoke to the press: “They are happy as always.” Five years later Piqué was no longer with Shakira. Her mother, yes.
