The denial of these speculations comes two days after Shakira and former Barcelona soccer player Gerard Piqué signed the custody agreement for their two children before the court of first instance and family number 18 in Barcelona.

Almost a month ago, the Colombian artist and the former soccer player announced that they had reached an agreement on their separation.

The pact includes that Shakira will go to live in Miami (Florida, USA) with the couple's two children, Sasha, 11, and Milan, nine.

Piqué, who does have a new sentimental relationship, will be able to go see them as many times as he wants and the expenses of these trips will be borne by both of them, according to the terms of the agreement that came out at the time.

“We have signed an agreement that guarantees the well-being of our children and that will be ratified in court,

as part of a merely formal procedure," both stated in a brief statement.

“Our sole objective is to provide them with the greatest security and protection, and we trust that their privacy will be respected.

We appreciate the interest shown and we hope that the children can continue with their lives with the necessary privacy, in a safe and calm environment”.

Shakira, 45, and Gerard Piqué, 35, met shortly before the World Cup held in South Africa in the summer of 2010. Months later they made their relationship official;

the second, just two years later.

In 2017, she thought about leaving her job, as she has recounted on occasion.
