Shakira, the international music sensation, has encountered a series of challenges in her life recently, primarily centered around her family’s health, in the wake of her separation from Gerard Pique. These hurdles began with her father’s health scare, and they’ve now extended to her mother, Nidia Ripoll, who has reportedly fallen ill.
According to reports from Spanish media outlet Marca, Nidia Ripoll, the mother of the “Waka Waka” hitmaker, found herself in the hospital after experiencing health issues. Telemundo, a prominent media source, detailed the situation, explaining that Nidia started feeling unwell last Friday, leading her to seek medical attention to rule out any serious underlying health problems.
In a touching display of maternal support, Shakira wasted no time and promptly flew to Barranquilla, her mother’s side, using her private plane upon hearing the news.
Nidia Ripoll’s health condition was identified as thrombosis in her leg. The good news is that she is reportedly responding positively to medical treatments, and her recovery is steadily progressing.
This is not the first time Nidia has faced health challenges requiring hospitalization, with reports suggesting that she had previously been admitted to a medical facility back in March.
These family health concerns come in the wake of Shakira’s candid interview with Billboard, where she discussed the emotional toll and complexities of her separation from Gerard Pique. The singer has demonstrated remarkable resilience in balancing her personal and professional life, even in the face of challenging circumstances.
As Shakira continues to navigate these trying times, fans and well-wishers around the world send their support and heartfelt wishes for her family’s swift recovery.
