Shakira embraced a casual yet chic look as she cheered on her son Milan at his baseball game in Valencia, Spain, on Friday. The 45-year-old Colombian pop star made a vibrant statement in a bold pink t-shirt, complemented by a bucket hat and sunglasses, capturing attention at the event.
Completing her ensemble, Shakira wore black striped trousers, white trainers, and a matching crossbody bag. Her sun-kissed makeup highlighted her natural beauty, and her golden hair was styled straight, adding to her effortlessly stylish appearance. She looked radiant as she walked hand-in-hand with her sons, Milan, nine, and Sasha, seven, heading towards the stands.
This family outing comes in the wake of Shakira’s ongoing legal and personal challenges. Recently, she was spotted with her former partner, Gerard Piqué, as they continue to navigate their divorce proceedings following their dramatic split in June. The public nature of their separation has fueled speculation, with the Spanish tabloids abuzz with rumors of infidelity.
In her recent music, Shakira has seemingly addressed her personal turmoil, notably in her single “Te Felicito” (I Congratulate You). The track, featuring Puerto Rican artist Rauw Alejandro, contains poignant lyrics that many interpret as a commentary on her relationship with Piqué. In an interview with Elle Magazine, Shakira reflected on how her emotions and experiences are channeled into her music, stating, “When the glove fits, it fits. Like I said before, my music is that channel.”
Beyond her personal life, Shakira is also facing significant legal issues, including a high-profile trial over tax fraud charges. Spanish prosecutors allege she failed to pay €14.5 million ($13.9 million) in taxes on income earned between 2012 and 2014. The prosecution is seeking an eight-year prison sentence and substantial fines if she is found guilty. Shakira, who has denied any wrongdoing and rejected a settlement offer, claims she has paid all owed taxes plus an additional €3 million ($2.8 million) in interest.
In a recent interview, Shakira spoke candidly about the difficulty of her split from Piqué and the challenges of being in the public eye during such a personal ordeal. She expressed the strain of dealing with the separation, noting the impact it has had on her and her children.
Amid these struggles, Shakira remains focused on her family and career, finding solace and strength in her music and public appearances.
