Amid their split, Shakira and Gerard Piqué have reached a custody agreement. Last night (November 8), the two superstars announced they have been working towards an agreement that is in the best interests of their children.
Shakira and Piqué announced their split back in June. The soccer star reportedly cheated on Shakira, leading to their decision to split after over 11 years together.
“We regret to confirm that we are separating. For the well-being of our children, who are our highest priority, we ask for respect for (our) privacy. Thank you for your understanding,” Shakira and Piqué said in a joint statement.
In another joint statement, Shakira and Piqué announced that they have reached a custody agreement for their two sons, Sasha and Milan. They kept the details of their agreement secret.
“We have signed a custody agreement,” the statement said. “Our only goal is to provide our children with the greatest possible security and protection and hope that they can continue their lives in a safe and peaceful environment.”
According to People, after growing up in Piqué’s native Barcelona, the boys will move to Miami with Shakira early next year. The decision was described as “in the best interest of the children”.
On the music front, Shakira’s recent singles “Te Felicito” with Rauw Alejandro and “Monotonía” with Ozuna seem to touch on her split from Piqué. In the former she sarcastically congratulates a cheating lover who is acting like a loyal partner, and in the latter she sings about a relationship that has run its course.
“All I can say is that everything I feel, everything I go through, is reflected consciously or unconsciously in the lyrics I write, in the videos I make. If the glove fits, it fits. Like I said, my music is this channel,” Shakira told Elle in September.
