The family has already settled in Miami
Although it was last April 2 when Shakira left Barcelona for good with her children to start a new life in Miami, away from Gerard Piqué and the media spotlight that has surrounded her since she announced her separation from the ex-footballer in June 2022, it has not been until now that the singer has moved into the impressive mansion she owns in the U.S. city.

The little ones have already started school
After a few days of vacation with Milan and Sasha in an exclusive and inaccessible destination for the press, the Colombian is already in Miami and it was on Tuesday April 11 when the little ones have started, after the American ‘spring break’ vacations, the school year in their new and exclusive school.
Shakira has asked for her privacy to be respected.
Hours before this important moment for the children, the artist has asked through a statement published in her social networks, and addressed to the media, to respect the privacy of their children and not to suffer the «harassment» to which they have been subjected during their last months in Barcelona.
Privacy for her and her family
«At this time of change in my life as a public figure, it is understandable that there is a permanent curiosity on the part of the press around me and my family» he begins.
The little ones have had a difficult year
Then «Milan and Sasha have lived a very difficult year, suffering an incessant siege and relentless persecution by paparazzi and various media in Barcelona. Now that they are starting a new stage in their lives I strongly ask the media on behalf of my children to please respect their right to privacy.»
It has done so through a press release
«Please refrain from following them to the exit or entrance of the school, waiting for them at the door of our house, or chasing them to their extracurricular activities, as has happened every day in Barcelona in order to obtain photographic captures or better ratings,» he continues, asking journalists and photographers to behave «in the most humane way possible with them, taking into account that it is about the health and physical and emotional integrity of two children of 8 and 10 years old who only want to be able to go out in the street, and attend school feeling safe and having the peace of mind of not being persecuted or subjected to constant scrutiny of the cameras».
A plea for the welfare of their children
A «request» that Shakira confesses she does not make as an artist, but «as a mother who wants to protect and care for the psychological and emotional well-being of her children so that they can live a healthy and happy life, as every child deserves».
Piqué will be ready to visit
A statement that the singer has made public just before Milan and Sasha start at their new school, and that coincides with reports that Pique’s lawyers are already talking to Shakira’s lawyers to determine when the first visit of the ex-football player to his children will take place, which everything suggests that it will happen this April.
