The ongoing legal battle between Shakira and Pique has recently intensified in Catalonia. On October 6, 2026, they both appeared at the City of Justice in Barcelona for a private hearing, following a custody agreement made in late 2022 that allowed Shakira to move to the US with their children.
Shakira, currently touring and residing in Madrid, is contesting the current visitation schedule, arguing it places undue stress on the children due to the long-distance travel between Miami and Barcelona. Reports indicate that the atmosphere in court was professional yet tense, with both parties present instead of relying solely on their legal teams. The key issue at hand is the travel arrangements during school breaks, as Shakira seeks to modify the visitation regime to minimize travel for the minors.
