Shakira and Gerard Piqué returned to a Barcelona courtroom Tuesday, October 6, nearly four years after reaching the agreement that allowed their sons to move to Miami. The Colombian singer is asking for changes to their visitation arrangements so that Piqué travels to Florida during short school vacations instead of Milan and Sasha flying to Spain for brief stays with their father.
The request concerns how the former couple manages parenting across two continents. In a statement distributed to Spanish media and published by EFE, Shakira's representatives said she wants the travel burden shared while preserving the children's time with Piqué. Her team argues that short transatlantic visits expose the boys to time-zone changes and disrupt their school, social, and family routines. "The request does not seek to reduce the time the children share with their father," the statement said, translated from Spanish.
