Shakira Breaks Down in Tears, Desperately Pleads for Privacy: Fighting to Protect Her Young Children from the Toxic Media Storm Threatening to Destroy Their Family Life

Shakira asks for privacy for her two children

Singer Shakira wrote a letter sharing her feelings about how her two children, Milan and Sasha, were “constantly surrounded” by the media after their parents’ separation.

Shakira posted on her personal page early this morning. The 46-year-old singer understands that, as a public figure, her private life is a topic of great interest to the media and fans. But the beauty wants her two children, Milan and Sasha, to live happy and healthy lives, without undue worries.

Dear friends, journalists, and media outlets. At this time of change in my life, as a public figure, I understand that there is some curiosity in the press about me and my family. However, my children, Milan and Sasha, have had an extremely difficult year, enduring the constant harassment of the paparazzi and various media outlets in Barcelona. Now that my children are beginning a new stage in their lives, I ask the media to respect their privacy.

The singer, born in 1977, added: “I beg you not to follow them when they leave or enter school, not to wait for them outside our doors, or to follow the children to extracurricular activities.” Shakira said her two children, Milan, 10, and Sasha, 8, should be treated “in the most humane way possible” and be able to live a peaceful life without the “constant pursuit of cameras.”

“I ask this not as an artist, but rather as a mother who always wants to protect and care for my children’s mental and emotional health. I want them to be able to live a happy and healthy life, as every child deserves. Thank you for your support and understanding,” Shakira confessed.

The beautiful Colombian woman and her two children left Spain on April 2 to settle in Miami, United States. The mother and her children began a new life after breaking up with former defender Gerard Piqué, leaving behind the turmoil in Barcelona over the past year.

Piqué and Shakira were a beautiful couple who garnered significant attention from sports and entertainment fans for a decade. The attention they received grew even more after the couple announced their split last summer, accompanied by controversy. Piqué and Shakira have complained about paparazzi gatherings outside their villas and at the schools of their two children, Milan and Sasha, when the family is in crisis.
