As for why he chose not to comment sooner, Gerard said that “everyone has their responsibility to try to do what is best for their children.”

“It is about protecting them,” he explained. “That is the job of all parents with children. That is what I am focused on and that is my job as a father.”

He seemingly did not comment on his faithfulness to Shakira. 

Gerard added that despite the negative press, he’s “not going to spend money cleaning up [his] image.”
