Colombian music superstar Shakira and Spanish footballer
Gerard Pique have
reached an agreement over the custody of their two children following their
breakup, their representatives said on Tuesday.

The 45-year-old “Hips Don’t Lie” songstress plans to
move to Miami with the couple’s two sons, and Pique will have them for 10 days
each month plus during school holidays, the player’s lawyer, Ramon Tamborero,
said.
“It is not that one has won and another has lost, if
anyone won it has been the children,” he told AFP after the conclusion of the
custody negotiations which lasted months.
In a surprise move Pique, 35, announced last week he
was retiring from football. The
Barcelona defender broke down in tears on
Saturday during a farewell speech on Saturday at his final game at the club’s
Camp Nou stadium.
He also kicked a ball around on the pitch with his
sons — Milan, nine, and Sascha, seven.
“We have signed an agreement that guarantees the
well-being of our children and that it will be ratified in court,” Shakira’s
representative said in a message jointly signed by the singer and Pique.
“Our sole objective is to provide them with the
greatest security and protection, and we trust that their privacy will be
respected,” the statement added without providing further details.
Shakira and Pique announced their romantic
relationship in 2011, but never married. They met during the filming of the
video for her infectious “Waka Waka”, the official song of the 2010 World Cup,
in which Pique made an appearance.
The couple, who had been living together for years
on the outskirts of Barcelona, announced in June that they were separating.
Shakira, one of the biggest names in the global
music industry, is facing trial in Spain for allegedly defrauding the tax
office of 14.5 million euros ($14.5 million) on income earned between 2012 and
2014.
She told
Elle magazine in September that the
combination of her looming tax fraud trial, separation from Pique, and her
father’s illness meant this was “the most difficult, darkest hours of my life”.
