BARCELONA – Colombian singer Shakira and her former partner Gerard Pique have reached an agreement on the custody of their two children, a representative of Colombian singer Shakira said Tuesday in Spain after they separated this year after an 11-year relationship.
The rep of the famous singer announced that the details of the deal will be revealed today.
According to the local newspaper, La Vanguardia, the agreement stipulated that their two children, Milan, nine, and Sasha, seven, would move to Miami to live with their mother.
Shakira, 45, has been in a relationship with Pique, 35, since 2011, but without marriage. The pair met just before the 2010 World Cup in South Africa when the Spanish player appeared in Shakira’s video for “Waka Waka (This Time for Africa)”, which was the official tournament song.
Pique and Shakira announced the end of their relationship last June.
The custody agreement for their two children comes a week after Pique announced his imminent retirement from professional football and his departure from Barcelona a few days later.
Shakira faces trial for tax fraud in Spain after losing an appeal on May 26. Prosecutors say Shakira did not pay up to 14.5 million euros ($ 15.54 million) in income taxes she earned between 2012 and 2014.
