Shakira ‘setting up new life in Miami & will leave Spain for good by end of week after cosying up with mystery man’
SHAKIRA is said to be preparing for her new life in Miami and is determined to leave Spain for good by the end of the week.
The singer’s decision to move to Miami permanently comes amid reports she has been seeing a new mystery man following her bombshell split with Pique.
The Colombian artist will be moving to Florida with her sons Milan, ten, and Sasha, eight by the end of next week, according to the Spanish press.
Respected Spanish showbiz site Vanitatis said overnight Shakira had told those close to her and the medics who have been looking after her elderly parents that she will leave Spain for good by the end of the week.
It reported: “A large part of the singer’s close circle already knows she’s leaving.
“The children stopped participating in extra-curricular activities like baseball some time ago.
“They carried on playing football, especially Milan who loves the sport.
“But well-placed sources say that in Esplugues de Llobregat near Barcelona where the youngster has been going regularly to train and play games, they have been told the youngster won’t return.”
It added: “The children won’t return to their schools either. Milan has two weeks’ holiday at the international school he has been studying at for the past few years whereas Sasha only has one.
“Now, with a new life ahead of them, both are looking forward to the experience facing them.”
Journalist Laura Fa, said earlier this month the artist was looking at a new date of April 1 to leave Barcelona with her children after initial reports it would happen at the end of the school year in June.
That was before her mum Nidia Ripoll was hospitalised in the Catalan capital after a blood clot was found in her leg.
Shakira was expected to move to Miami in January after signing a child custody agreement with Pique in December but the plans were delayed due to her 91-year-old father’s poor health.
The couple, who split last May after 11 years together, confirmed in November they had reached an agreement after a protracted negotiation which came to a head with a marathon 12-hour meeting with their lawyers. They signed the accord at a court in Barcelona the following month.
As part of the agreement retired footballer Pique, now dating 24-year-old Catalan beauty Clara Chia, will spend holiday time with his children.
Shakira’s wish to move to Miami, where she used to live and part of her family is based, is understood to have been the principal sticking point in the former couple’s previous failure to strike an out-of-court settlement.
Vanitatis is saying Shakira, her parents and her children will all live together when they reach Miami.
The artist, who has relatives and several close friends in Miami, owns a £14 million mansion in the city she is said to have put up for sale in 2018 before removing it from the market a few months ago.
At the start of the week, Spanish media claimed Shakira may have found love with a new man in Miami.
News website OK Diario said it had been told the 46-year-old mum-of-two met the mystery man several months ago before she penned her latest diss song targeting Pique and his new girlfriend Clara Chia.
It comes as The Hips Don’t Lie singer posted a cryptic selfie referring to “light and dark.”
The selfie captioned “Chiaroscuro” shows half of her face lit up while the rest is shadowed.
