Last week, 46-year-old Shakira announced that she was leaving Barcelona, ​​where she lived in recent years, and moving to Miami with relatives along with two sons from a relationship with former lover Gerard Pique. — Sasha and Milan. On the occasion of the move, which is always accompanied by stress, the singer published an official appeal to the media and urged to respect her personal boundaries and stop harassing her children.

Dear friends, journalists and media, in this period of change in my life, it is understandable that the press is constantly curious about me and my family. However, my children, Milan and Sasha, have gone through a very difficult year, suffering from incessant harassment from the paparazzi and several Barcelona media, she wrote on social networks. – Now that they are starting a new life, I implore the media on behalf of my children to please respect their right to privacy. I ask you to refrain from guarding them at the exit of the school, waiting for them at the door of our house, or accompanying them to extra-curricular and recreational activities, as some have done to increase their ratings.

In her emotional message, Shakira stated that she was asking for this not as a media personality, but as a mother.

I believe that the journalists and photographers present here will understand the situation that Milan and Sasha are facing and will be able to deal with them as humanely as possible, remembering that we are talking about the physical and emotional health and safety of two minor children who just want to to be able to go out in public and attend school feeling safe and at peace that they are not being watched,” the star continued. “I am delivering this message not 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 the happy and healthy lives that all children deserve. Thank you in advance for your understanding and support. Shakira.

Shakira planned a trip to Miami after she broke up with Gerard Pique. The couple broke up last summer amid the betrayal of a football player. The scandals and rumors around this high-profile breakup do not subside for a day, and therefore it is not surprising that the singer decided to personally contact the press.

Note that Pique himself suffers from media attention no less than his ex. However, an even bigger problem for him are the fans of the star, who relentlessly attack the athlete with curses on social networks. Piqué recently spoke publicly about Shakira’s fans, stating that “they don’t have a life of their own.”
