Shakira Fights for Fairer Travel in Custody Deal
7 Oct
Summary
- Shakira wants to share travel burden for her sons between Miami and Barcelona.
- She proposes Gerard Piqué travel to Miami instead of children flying to Spain.
- Singer's aim is to preserve children's routines during school breaks.
Shakira and Gerard Piqué appeared in a Barcelona court on October 6, 2026, to address their children's custody agreement. The Colombian singer is seeking modifications to the travel arrangements for their sons, Milan, 13, and Sasha, 11, who split time between Miami and Barcelona.
Her representatives clarified that the proposed changes do not aim to decrease Piqué's visitation time. Instead, the objective is to distribute the effort of transatlantic travel more evenly. Shakira suggests that Piqué travel to Miami to see the boys during their school breaks, rather than the children undertaking frequent, disruptive journeys to Barcelona.
The singer's side argues that short, long-haul flights and time zone changes significantly cut into valuable break time and disrupt the children's routines. This adjustment, they contend, would allow the boys to maintain more consistency with school, family, and friends. Shakira's Madrid concert residency concludes on October 12, 2026.
