If there is something that Shakira puts above all things, it is her family. Everyone knows that the singer is dying for her two children, Milan and Sasha; but also by her parents, William Mebarak and Nidia Ripoll. For this reason, as the years go by, the Colombian's concerns about the state of health of her parents grow.
Just a few hours ago, the singer made an emergency trip to her native Barranquilla due to a new health problem for her father, but a few hours later the alarms went off again, this time for her mother, who had to be hospitalized because of several problems derived from a thrombosis in one of his legs.
As reported by Telemundo, the artist's mother began to feel bad last Friday, so she decided to go to the hospital to rule out major problems. Luckily, thanks to this decision she was able to provide a quick response, since she was suffering from a thrombosis in one of her legs. Thus, Nidia Ripoll would now be out of danger, according to information from the American communication group.
Last Saturday morning, the singer landed urgently in Barranquilla to be with her father, but also with her mother after this new hospital admission.
Over the past few years, the singer's parents have faced serious health problems. On the one hand, the ailments of her father are known, who at 92 years old suffered a fall in May 2022 that left him bedridden with various consequences.
A few months later, he suffered a stroke, which kept him in and out of the hospital. Additionally, she delayed the singer's move to the United States, which she did not want to do until she found the right medical experts to improve her father's condition. Last June, Mebarak was undergoing surgery to insert a Hakim valve, which was supposed to improve her condition.
His mother is not much better either. Last March, the woman suffered a thrombosis in her leg that scared the whole family, but she was left with that, a scare, as she was lucky enough to be treated in time. After a few days in hospital, the artist's mother was able to return to her family, recovering favorably.
Both have been the great support of the performer of songs like Acróstico, especially since the Colombian announced her separation from the father of her children, Gerard Piqué, and kicked off one of the most complicated years of her entire life.
For the artist, her parents have always been the best example of what true love means, and that was how she intended her relationship with the former F.C. player to be. Barcelona. However, it couldn't be, as she herself has explained to us in many of her latest songs.
