On Oct. 8, Shakira expressed her pain with cryptic video posted to her Instagram feed.
In the clip, a man wearing dress shoes is seen stomping over a human heart as he walks through a busy scene.
She captioned the post, "I never said anything but it hurt. I knew this would happen."
The "She Wolf" singer, 45, didn't specify what or who had hurt her.
However, the post comes hot-on-the-heels of her split from husband Gerard Piqué.
Over the summer, the former couple—who went public with their romance in 2011 and share sons Milan, 9, and Sasha, 7.
"We regret to confirm that we are parting ways," they said in a joint statement to E! News on June 4.
"For the well-being of our children, who are our highest priority, we ask that you respect their privacy. Thank you for your understanding."
Three months later, the professional soccer player was spotted getting cozy with 23-year-old Clara Chia Marti.
