SHAKIRA was caught tearfully bidding farewell to her life in Spain as she flew to Miami with her sons after a high-profile split with ex Gerard Pique.
The Hips Don’t Lie singer46, left Barcelona today ahead of her permanent move to Florida, as alleged family and friends waved her goodbye in an emotional farewell.
Spanish media described the scenes as her “final goodbye” to her old life before embarking on her new American life.
Though tearful, Shakira looked effortlessly stylish in a denim outfit as she and her two sons, Milan, 10, and Sasha, 8, made their way to take off.
Tonight she wrote a heartfelt Twitter message: “I settled in Barcelona to give stability to my children, the same thing we are now looking for in another corner of the world next to family, friends and the sea.
“Today we begin a new chapter in the quest for our happiness.”
The pop star was set to move on Jan. 3 with her two sons Milan, 10, and Sasha, 7, but her trip was postponed after her elderly father’s health deteriorated.
The news of her departure comes as her ex-footballer Pique seems to be so “very annoyed” after being given only “days notice”. that his ex-partner is moving to Miami with their two sons this week.
Shakira’s lawyer Pilar Mane told Pique’s lawyer Ramon Tamborero in a formal announcement that the star was leaving permanently, according to journalists Lorena Vasquez and Laura Fa.
The Colombian singer, they said, then called the former Barcelona player to confirm the news, but was said to be furious at being kept in the dark about the exact date they would leave.
The Spanish journalists also claim that the two boys would start inside school Florida on April 11 – the day American schoolchildren return to school after spring break.
The 11-year-old ex-couple has been embroiled in a bitter feud since their controversial split last summer.
Former Barcelona defender Piqué revealed he was in a relationship with a 24-year-old Clara Chia Martini not long after, they announced that the bombshell was breaking up.
Since then, their dirty laundry has been broadcast worldwide as cheating rumors about Pique and his younger lover whirling since the new year.
The former couple confirmed in November that they had finally reached a custody agreement after protracted negotiations that culminated in a marathon 12-hour meeting with their lawyers.
They signed the agreement the following month in a court in Barcelona.
As part of the agreement, retired footballer Pique will spend vacation time with his children.
Shakira’s desire to move to Miami, where she used to live and part of her family lives, is considered the main sticking point in their bitter custody battle.
The singer-songwriter, who has family and some close friends in Miami, owns it a £14 million mansion in the city, she is said to have put it up for sale in 2018 before taking it off the market a few months ago.
Spanish media also claim that Shakira has made it cozy with a new mystery man which is based in Miami.
