Shakira's children are two boys, the difference between which is several years. Their father is a Spanish footballer named Gerard Piqué from the Barcelona club.
Personal life of the singer
Starting at the age of 23, the singer dated a lawyer named Antonio de la Rua. Together, young people attended many important events. Shakira's chosen one helped and supported everything from her beginning by any means. The lovers did not officially marry, but Shakira always claimed that she treats Antonio as a spouse. The absence of seals and additional papers had no effect, according to the Latin American singer, on the seriousness of the relationship in a couple.
However, after 11 years of romantic relationship, Shakira and Antonio announced a breakup. Despite the fact that, according to the singer, the former lovers did not wish each other harm, 3 years after the break, de la Rua filed a lawsuit against Shakira, extorting $ 100 million from her for her contribution to the development of her singing career. However, a California court dismissed the lawsuit, arguing that such cases should be heard in Colombia.
Meet Gerard Piqué
Romantic relationship with Gerard (the father of her children) Shakira began during the filming of a video clip called Waka Waka (ThisTime for Africa). Since the video was created for the official song of the 2010 FIFA World Cup, it had a direct bearing on Pique. After a year of relationship, the singer confirmed her romance with the football player using social networks, where she published their joint photo.
Surprisingly, the footballer Gerard Pique and Shakira were born on the same day - February 2, but with a difference of 10 years. At the moment, the Latin American singer is 40 years old, and Gerard, respectively, is 30.
Shakira's children
In September 2012, the popular Colombian singer confirmed that she and her husband were expecting a baby. Shakira's first child was born in January 2013. The boy was named Milan. The husband of the famous singer was looking forward to the birth of the child and even wanted to be present at the birth. However, the pop diva was categorically against the presence of her husband during the process of childbearing. In addition, the girl demanded that only females be present in the ward, and this request even applied to medical personnel.
Two years later, information appeared in the media that concerned the second child of Shakira and Gerard. The famous couple had another baby in January 2015. The birth took place in Spain in one of the clinics in Barcelona. The boy was given the name Sasha (the photo of Shakira with the children is located in the article).
Both children of the famous singer were born by caesarean section. In order to get rid of the unnecessary attention of journalists, Shakiraduring childbirth occupied a separate floor of the hospital.
Fans claim that Shakira's children are very similar to the singer. The eldest son Milan, according to them, is an absolute copy of her, and the younger Sasha, in addition to resembling his mother, took some features from Pique: he has the same blond hair and big blue eyes.
However, not so long ago, in October of this year, information appeared about the breakup between Shakira and Gerard.
The future of babies was predetermined
As it turned out, after the birth of Milan Pique immediately made him a member of his football club. This was not difficult for the Spanish footballer, since he is the grandson of the vice-president of the Barcelona club. After the birth of the second baby, his mother Shakira wrote on social networks that the child has a father's foot and, probably, he will be a football player, like his father Gerard.
From birth, the Latin American singer tried to teach her kids to play football (a photo of Shakira with her husband and children is posted below). Milan and Sasha were a kind of football player's talisman. At almost every match in which Piqué took part, Shakira could be seen in the stands of the fans along with his sons.
The eldest son of the singer, according to her, plays football all day long and sings the anthem of the Barcelona club, for which his father plays. Therefore, Shakira asked Pique never to leave the team.
Before breaking off relations with the Spanish footballer, in her interviews, the Latin pop diva claimed that she was not going to stop at Milan and Sasha, but dreamed of a biglarge family. Shakira, according to her, should have at least five children. Gerard Pique also dreamed of replenishing the family, dreaming of eventually creating a full-fledged football team from his own sons.
Shakira's husband and children
After the birth of the kids, the singer's husband bought a chic mansion in Barcelona for the family, so that each of the boys had a separate room. However, as it became known, Shakira with her husband and children no longer live under the same roof. The Latin American singer bought herself a separate apartment in Barcelona and lives there with Milan and Sasha.
Shakira and Gerard lived together for 7 years, during which they sincerely demonstrated their tender feelings for each other. The singer's fans were previously aware of Gerard's significant shortcoming - his excessive jealousy. The young man forbade the singer to shoot video clips with the participation of men. According to rumors, he was jealous of his wife for male colleagues, so he tried to come to any shooting with Shakira.
Possible reasons for breaking up a relationship
In the media after the separation of the couple, several theories appeared that could have caused the breakup between Shakira and Pique. In the first place was the jealousy of the young athlete, which finally tired the popular singer. In second place could be a return to Shakira's active schedule. The pop diva was not going to end her career. On November 8, 2017, she started a tour around the world, which included visits to about 100 cities in 30 different countries.
Also one of the possible reasons is the big age difference between the Spanish athlete and Shakira. In addition, Piqué's active civic stance can harm the singer's career. It is known that not so long ago, Gerard said at one of the football matches that he could leave the national team if the authorities continue to impede the movement for the independence of Catalonia. For Shakira, who always avoided political topics, such statements by her husband could cause fears associated with her performances in the same Madrid.
