Shakira returned to Barcelona with her children after confirming the breakup with Gerard Piqué
Since then, both celebrities have kept a low public profile, continuing their routines in Barcelona. They have been seen going about daily life separately while prioritizing time with their kids. Reports indicate Piqué was seen driving the children to school on a recent morning, followed by Shakira later in the day, photographed as she arrived to collect Milan and Sasha in the family’s blue and white van.
Observers noted a solemn mood, with Shakira choosing sunglasses to shield her expression as she moved through the city. While Shakira remains based in Barcelona for now, multiple outlets have suggested a move to Miami could be on the horizon. The Colombian singer has long spoken of a preference for the United States, where she has strong personal connections and a different tax landscape compared to Spain, though the ongoing fiscal matters surrounding a past situation in Spain have been mentioned by various sources. Regardless, a rapid departure seems unlikely in the near term.
What remains unclear is whether Blaugrana will permit Shakira to relocate the children to Miami or if a custody arrangement could emerge from ongoing discussions. The two parents are public figures, and their schedules are closely watched by fans and media alike as they negotiate the logistics of parenting while living apart.
Current reports suggest that once Milan and Sasha finish the school term, Shakira may accompany them to a family residence in Miami that was prepared for their arrival. The house has been organized with the idea of hosting the family during this transition. The bigger question is whether the singer will broaden the move to become a more permanent residence or continue to split time between Barcelona and the United States as circumstances evolve.
