Shakira, who has two sons with her ex-partner Gerard Piqué, has never wavered in her commitment to protecting them from the demands of her public persona. Her priority continues to be on making sure they are safe and restoring as much normalcy as she can.

In their lives, the transition from Barcelona to Miami was a critical turning point. In April, Shakira used Instagram to say goodbye to Barcelona, where they had lived for the previous eight years. She thanked the city for giving her sons stability and conveyed her confidence about their next chapter bringing pleasure.

Shakira's relationship with her two boys was evident when she won the Video Vanguard Award. Her exceptional artistic accomplishments as well as her devotion to her family were honoured that night.

The 2023 MTV VMAs served as a testament to the strength of love and tenacity as Shakira and her kids shared the spotlight. It was a memorable evening that demonstrated the value of striking a balance between celebrity and family principles.
