Shakira, Pique return to court over children visit arrangements
She argues that frequent travel could affect their emotional, physical and academic wellbeing.
Pop star Shakira and her ex-partner, former Spanish footballer Gerard Pique, returned to a Barcelona court on Tuesday to discuss the visitation arrangements for their two children, according to a report. The singer is seeking changes that would limit the frequency and duration of the transatlantic trips their sons take between Miami, where they reside, and Barcelona, Pique's hometown.
Her legal team stated that frequent travel could negatively impact the children's emotional, physical, and academic well-being. Shakira argued that allowing Pique to travel to Miami during school holidays would enable the children to spend more time in their home environment, maintaining their routines. The singer's representatives emphasized that this proposal is not aimed at reducing the amount of time the children spend with their father.
Shakira and Pique, who have been together since 2011, have two sons, Milan and Sasha, born in 2013 and 2015 respectively. Their relationship ended in June 2022 after over a decade, and Shakira relocated to Miami with the children. Pique, who played for Barcelona and Spain before retiring in 2022, continues to have regular and holiday visitation with his sons.
Shakira is currently in Madrid for the final leg of her global tour, which includes 13 concerts between September 18 and October 12. She recently added an extra performance on Monday. The singer launched her "Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran" world tour in February 2025, inspired by her album of the same name, featuring the hit collaboration "Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 53" with Argentine producer Bizarrap.
