Shakira set to move to Miami with two children after thrashing out agreement with Barcelona legend


SHAKIRA is set to move to Miami next year with her two children as part of an agreement thrashed out between her and Gerard Pique’s lawyers at a marathon 12-hour meeting.

The 45-year-old Colombian pop star will relocate to Florida with sons Milan, nine, and Sasha, seven, early in the New Year according to Catalan press.

Pique, who broke down in tears on Saturday at Barcelona’s Camp Nou stadium during an emotional farewell speech after retiring from football, is said to have ceded to Shakira’s wishes to avoid an ugly court divorce battle. 

The summit meeting ended with a deal lifting the main stumbling block in the couple’s ongoing attempts to reach an out-of-court settlement.

The talks happened on Monday afternoon at their former family home in Esplugues de Llobregat on the outskirts of Barcelona. 

It didn’t finish until the early hours of this morning/yesterday morning (TUE) according to local press.

The negotiations were described as “intense” by respected Catalan daily El Periodico.

Rival La Vanguardia, which also reported on the agreement “after 12 hours of negotiation” added: “Milan and Sasha will go with Shakira to Miami.

“The children will spend Christmas in Barcelona but as soon as 2023 begins, the footballer will say goodbye and assume a painful sacrifice so that the youngsters don’t experience an even more traumatic separation between their parents.

“He will be able to cross the Atlantic Ocean to see them whenever he wants. The costs will be borne by both of them.”

Shakira’s split from Pique after a relationship lasting 11 years had become the soap opera of the summer in Spain and elsewhere as their chosen careers took a back seat to lurid reports about their private life.

On Saturday Pique was filmed kissing and cuddling his new girlfriend Clara Chia in the stands at Barcelona’s stadium after his emotional farewell tribute.

The pair hugged each other and locked lips as they chatted with friends.

Shakira appeared to hit out at her ex in a new song she released last month called Monotonia with references to the “narcissism” and “cold as Christmas” attitude of a man she is breaking up with.
