Shakira Opens Up About How Her Children Dealt With the Public Scrutiny During Her Divorce

Ending a relationship is never easy, especially when there are kids and public attention involved. Shakira recently shared how her separation from Gerard Piqué, a professional football player, has impacted their two sons, Milan (9) and Sasha (7).

In a recent interview with Billboard, she shared that her children are thriving in their new environment. Moving away from the constant media attention in Barcelona has been beneficial for them, as they can now enjoy a sense of normalcy and safety at school. They have quickly adapted to their new surroundings, thanks to their sociable and open personalities. Overall, she is pleased with how well they are doing.

Shakira and Piqué, the ex-couple, shared a joint statement to announce their separation in June 2022. The statement stated that they regret the split and urged everyone to respect their privacy for the sake of their children. The couple were together for 11 years before their split.

For the past year, there have been a lot of rumors circulating about Shakira and Piqué’s split, from allegations of infidelity to a jar of strawberry jam. However, Shakira has channeled her pain into her music, and her collaboration with Bizarrap on “BZRP Music Sessions #53” has become a huge success, breaking 14 Guinness World Records and reaching number one on the Hot Latin Songs chart. Despite being a single mom, Shakira is determined to keep releasing music, even though it can be challenging to balance her career with her parenting responsibilities. She strives to be a present mom, taking her kids to school, having breakfast with them, and going to play dates. Additionally, she needs to make money to support herself and her family, which requires her to juggle multiple responsibilities every day.
