This news comes less than a year after Shakira's 90-year-old father was also rushed to the hospital after a bad fall, causing the singer to delay her move from Barcelona to Miami with her two sons, Milan and Sasha.
Fortunately, Nidia's medical emergency is now under control, and she is reportedly out of danger. Shakira, who is still recovering from her breakup with ex-boyfriend Gerard Pique, with whom she was in a relationship for 11 years and has two children with, has also been dealing with her parents' health issues.
In November of last year, Shakira and Pique reached a custody agreement for their sons Milan and Sasha after 12 hours of negotiations. The footballer signed a contract that allows him to spend holiday time with the children. The former couple released a joint statement at the time, stating their sole objective is to provide their children with the utmost security and protection, and they hope their privacy will be respected.
