Shakira Reveals Scary Reality Of Raising Celebrity Children!

Shakira has officially planted her roots in the United States, and she’s starting fresh in more ways than one.

The Colombian-native recently moved out of Barcelona, Spain, with her two minor children, Milan and Sasha.

She left her cheating ex-partner, Gerard Piqué, his family, girlfriend and their former life together for good.

Shakira is currently living in Miami, Florida, and recently opened up about the scary reality of raising children as a public figure.

Taking to Instagram, she penned a lengthy and heartfelt message. She addressed the message to “friends, journalists and media.”

“At this time of changes in my life as a public figure, it is understandable that there is a permanent curiosity on the part of the press about me and my family. However, my children, Milan and Sasha have lived a very difficult year, suffering an incessant siege and relentless persecution by paparazzi and various media (outlets) in Barcelona,” she started off. “As they begin a new phase in their lives, I urge the media on behalf of my children to please respect their right to privacy.”

Shakira and her children have been under a microscope since her breakup from Piqué last June

The couple broke up after nearly 12 years together due to the former fútbol player’s wandering eyes and infidelity.

“I ask you to refrain from following them to the exit or entrance of the school, wait for them at the door of our house, or chase them to their extracurricular activities, and games as it has happened every day in Barcelona in order to obtain photographs or better ratings,” Shakira’s message continued. “I trust that journalists and photographers are sensitive to the situation Milan and Sasha are facing and can 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 minors under 8 and 10 years old who just want to be able to go out and attend school feeling safe and having the peace of mind of not being persecuted or subjected to the constant scrutiny of the cameras.”

Shakira concluded her plea, “I extend this petition no longer 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.”

In addition to protecting her children, it’s been reported that she may have a mystery man in Miami.

Spanish media outlet, OK Diario, was first to report on a rumored romance for the songstress.

She reportedly met a “mystery man” months ago prior to releasing her diss track about her ex.

“It seems the Colombian singer could have found a new illusion in the shape of a mysterious man she apparently met in Miami and has been in contact with for four months,” OK Diario reported over the weekend.

However, Shakira’s reps have denied these “mystery man” claims.

Shakira was loosely linked to her surf instructor back in December 2022, 24-year-old Gorka Ezkurdia.
