Shakira and Gerard Pique return to court over custody terms

On October 6, 2026, Shakira and Gerard Pique appeared in a Barcelona court to address the custody arrangements for their two sons. The legal dispute concerns modifying the communication and travel terms established following their 2022 separation.

Shakira’s legal team stated that the singer is requesting a reduction in the frequency of travel for her children between Miami, where they reside with her, and Barcelona, where Pique lives. She proposed that Pique visit the children in Miami during their school holidays instead. Her representatives emphasized that this move is intended to safeguard the children's emotional, physical, and academic well-being, allowing them to maintain a consistent routine without reducing the total time spent with their father.

The proceedings serve as a formal update to the original 2022 agreement. While Shakira remains in Madrid for concert performances, the judicial process continues as both parties seek to refine the logistics of their parenting arrangement.
