Recent reports suggest that Shakira is planning to relocate to Miami in three weeks. This decision comes after she reached a child custody agreement with Gerard Pique and expressed her desire to move to Miami, where she previously resided and has family ties. The couple’s failure to reach an out-of-court settlement in the past was primarily due to Shakira’s wish to move to Miami. Initially, she planned to move to the United States at the end of the school year, but her father’s poor health led to a delay in her departure. There is speculation that Shakira has now set a new date of April 1 for her move. According to journalist Laura Fa, sources close to the couple have revealed this information, highlighting that the only potential obstacle may be Shakira’s father’s health condition. Shakira intends to take advantage of the Spring Break in the States to travel to Miami with her sons and ensure they can start their classes when American children return to school. At the time of writing, Shakira’s representatives have not responded to requests for comment. Earlier this year, it was revealed that her father’s health concerns had forced her to postpone her move to Miami. He was previously hospitalized in Barcelona after a fall and had been undergoing 24/7 professional at-home care. In November, Shakira and Gerard confirmed the signing of a child custody agreement, which includes holiday time for the children with their father. Gerard is currently dating 23-year-old Clara Chia.
Not feeling well: Due to the declining health of her elderly father, William Mubarak, who is 91 years old (shown in a photograph taken in 2013), she had to postpone her planned departure to the State. The initial departure date was set for early January, but circumstances prompted her to make this change.
Relaxed: In a recent television interview, Shakira opened up about her newfound strength and self-sufficiency following her separation from Gerard. This marked her first appearance on TV since the breakup, and she expressed how the experience has served to empower her.
The couple, who ended their relationship in May after over ten years together, have released a joint statement affirming that they have reached an agreement to ensure the well-being of their children. This agreement will be officially ratified in court as a mere formality.
Their main goal is to provide their children with the utmost security and protection, and they kindly request that their privacy be respected. They express gratitude for the interest shown and hope that the children can carry on with their lives in a safe and peaceful environment.
In a recent television interview, Shakira spoke about her post-breakup experience and how it has made her stronger and more self-reliant. She admitted that she used to believe in the notion that a woman needs a man to feel complete, but she now feels complete relying solely on herself.
In a seemingly directed message towards Gerard’s new partner, who was the subject of Shakira’s hit song with DJ Bizarrap released in January, she stated, “There is a special place in hell for women who don’t support other women.”
Since their split, Shakira has written and performed several diss songs, using metaphors to assert her worth. For instance, she compared herself to a Rolex watch and indirectly referred to Gerard’s new partner as a Casio watch in one of her recent songs. She also made a clear reference to their age difference, proclaiming, “I’m worth two 22s,” as Clara, Gerard’s new partner, is believed to have started dating him at the age of 22, while Shakira is 44.
Moving forward: Gerard, a former Barcelona player aged 36, ended his 11-year relationship with Shakira in June 2022. He recently made his relationship with 23-year-old Clara official on Instagram. Contrastingly, on Valentine’s Day, Shakira shared a video of herself lip-syncing to SZA’s popular song ‘Kill Bill’ where she playfully sang the lyrics ‘I might kill my ex.’ Interestingly, she had previously expressed her feelings towards her ex in a song called ‘Monotonia’ released last October. The song subtly mentioned the man’s narcissistic and cold behavior. In the music video for this song, Shakira portrays a scenerio where a mysterious man, believed to represent Gerard, shoots a hole through her heart while she shops for snacks in a supermarket at night. Shakira later wrote a New Year post on Instagram about betrayal and heartache, receiving support from Antonela Roccuzzo, Lionel Messi’s wife. Antonela responded to Shakira’s dig at her ex with three heart emoticons.
