Shakira was seen spending some quality time with her two sons, Milan and Sasha, in New York City before her upcoming performance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. The singer, who is set to perform her popular song TQG for the first time, took her kids to M&M’S World in Times Square before getting ready for the show. She was dressed in a black furry jacket, leather pants, and carried a Balenciaga crossbody bag while holding hands with her little ones, who were wearing matching outfits. Shakira completed her sporty look with a black baseball cap and platform sneakers. Milan wore a denim shirt and grey puffer coat, while Sasha opted for a grey patterned sweat suit and coordinating windbreaker. The Colombian star appeared relaxed and happy as she smiled for the cameras while entering the three-story candy store.
During an interview with Mexican journalist Enrique Acevedo on Monday, Shakira discussed the empowering effect that writing her song TQG had on her. She revealed that she felt she would be in a very different place if she hadn’t written it. Shakira delved deeper into her emotional dependence on men throughout her life, admitting that she used to believe a woman needed a man to complete herself and build a family. However, she now feels complete because she relies on herself and has two children who depend on her, which makes her stronger. Recently, Shakira allegedly discovered that her ex-boyfriend was unfaithful when she returned home to find someone had eaten a jar of strawberry jam, despite her family not liking that flavour. In her music video for Te Felicito, Shakira referenced this incident by showing herself opening a fridge to reveal Rauw Alejandro’s head. Reports also suggest that she set up a life-size witch doll on her Spanish home’s balcony, overlooking her former mother-in-law’s residence. Locals have even heard Shakira playing a song aimed at her ex’s new girlfriend at high volume from her home.
Before preparing for her performance where she sang about her past relationship with Gerard Piqué, her ex-partner of 11 years whom she ended things with in June, the well-known 46-year-old musician took her kids to M&M’S World in Times Square while exploring the city.
Shakira looked effortlessly chic as she strolled into a candy store with her kids, sporting a black furry jacket, leather pants, and a sleek Balenciaga crossbody bag. It seems that in her latest song, Shakira takes some subtle digs at her ex-partner Gerard and his new girlfriend Clara, implying that she’s worth more than them both combined. She even hints at a strained relationship with Gerard’s mother, Montserrat Bernabéu, since Clara entered the picture. On the other hand, Gerard admits that he relies heavily on Clara to choose his clothes, calling himself a “puppet” in their relationship.
Amidst the constantly buzzing city, a woman with vibrant red locks caught my eye. Her hair was pulled back into a sleek ponytail and concealed under a chic black cap. To match her active vibe, she adorned her feet with fashionable platform sneakers.
The eldest child, age 10, looked cute in a denim shirt with a grey puffer jacket and matching pants, while his younger brother wore a coordinating grey patterned tracksuit with a windbreaker. Pique and Shakira’s separation was resolved smoothly, with their lawyer commending the former couple for their intelligence and avoiding a legal battle by reaching a custody agreement for their kids. The negotiations took seven months with preparatory meetings and a final meeting that lasted 13 hours. Their lawyer emphasized the importance of reaching an agreement rather than going through a custody trial. He also advised them to continue communicating amicably after signing the divorce agreement. Gerard and his new girlfriend, Clara, recently went public on Instagram, sharing a happy selfie that quickly gained one million likes.
Turning love’s pain into melody: The family was seen following rumors that she had discovered her ex-partner’s infidelity, which became evident when she realized that a jar of strawberry jam had been emptied while she was away.
Moving forward, Shakira referenced strawberry jam in her latest music video for the track Te Felicito, which was released in April. In one of the scenes, the camera captured Rauw Alejandro’s head peeking from an open fridge.
