Shakira ‘leaves Barcelona after being served with an ”eviction notice”’

Shakira has left Barcelona after her ex Gerard Piqué’s father reportedly served her with an ‘eviction notice’.

Spanish media say the singer received a letter asking her and her parents to leave the former couple’s family home after she performed her song against Piqué and his new girlfriend on Jimmy’s late-night show. Failed last month.

Speculation was growing in Spain on Monday that the letter was the cause of the tears he was seen shedding in a New York store before his return to Barcelona.

The 46-year-old made no mention of the eviction order in the farewell message she posted on Instagram after she was photographed leaving the Catalan capital with her two children to start a new life in Florida.

He is expected to enjoy a few days of vacation in an undisclosed location with his children Milan, 10, and Sasha, 8, before they start at a private school north of Miami on April 11.

The timing of Shakira’s move took most people by surprise, as April 1 had been set as one of the dates she was considering, but there was uncertainty surrounding the exact day she would leave Barcelona until hours before. of his departure due to continuing questions about his parents’ health.

Catalan overnight newspapers El Periódico and La Vanguardia reported that Shakira had been told on March 13 that she had to leave the mansion in Esplugues de Llobregat where she has continued to live after her split last year from Piqué before the April 30, or pay compensation.

El Periódico said it had received an email signed by the father of his former partner, Joan Piqué, and La Vanguardia described it as a letter from the former footballer’s father.

The house, where Shakira installed a witch on the balcony in an apparent mockery of Piqué’s mother who lives next door, is said to have been owned by the former couple in their names before becoming owned by a company called BCN Two & Two. in September of last year, four months after the artist and the former Barcelona defender announced their separation.

Piqué’s father appears in the Spanish Mercantile Registry as the only director and it is said that his only shareholder is the holding company of former soccer player Kerad Holding.

Spanish media have not specified how much ‘compensation’ Shakira would have had to pay, as part of the deal when she changed ownership of the property last September, had she not left at the end of this month.

The newspaper He stated: “Now we understand the photos of the singer crying.”

Shakira was photographed flying out of Barcelona on Sunday with her two children after saying a tearful goodbye to family and friends.

On Instagram he published an emotional message coinciding with his departure, writing in his open letter a clear mockery of his ex: “I settled in Barcelona to give my children stability, the same stability that we now seek in another corner of the world together with the family, friends and the sea.

‘Today we begin a new chapter in the pursuit of your happiness. Thanks to everyone who surfed so many waves with me there in Barcelona, ​​the city where I learned that friendship is undoubtedly longer than love.

‘Thank you to everyone who encouraged me, dried my tears, inspired me and made me grow.

Thanks to my Spanish fans who have always protected me with their love and loyalty.

He then shared a photo of a wing of the plane in which he left the Catalan capital with Barcelona below, adding: “But things are not always as we dream.”

“Sometimes we run but we don’t arrive. Never doubt that I will be here.

Shakira and Piqué, who separated last May after 11 years together, confirmed in November that they had reached a custody agreement after a protracted negotiation that culminated in a marathon 12-hour meeting with their lawyers.

They signed the agreement in a Barcelona court the following month.

As part of the deal, Piqué, who is now dating 24-year-old Catalan beauty Clara Chia, will spend the holidays with their children.

Shakira’s desire to move to Miami, where she used to live and where part of her family resides, is understood to have been the main sticking point in the former couple’s earlier failure to settle out of court.

The artist, who has family and several close friends in Miami, owns a £14m mansion in the city that she reportedly put up for sale in 2018 before taking it off the market a few months ago.

Late last month, the Spanish media claimed that Shakira may have found love with a new man in Miami.

News website OK Diario said the mother-of-two met the mystery man several months ago before she wrote her latest song against Piqué and his new girlfriend Clara Chia.

The former Barcelona defender’s relationship with Clara Chia, who just turned 24, arose shortly after he and Shakira announced their separation.

The singer-songwriter performed her diss track with Argentine DJ Bizarrap, in which she fires poison darts at Piqué and his new girlfriend, on Jimmy Fallon’s late-night show on March 10. She then spoke about her break with the former soccer player

Piqué said in a later interview with Spanish newspaper El País that he was “very happy” after the dramatic changes in his life that included the break with Shakira and retirement from soccer.

He also closed a question about Shakira in the interview, but added: “Every parent has a responsibility to try to do what’s best for their children.”

It’s about protecting them. That is the job of all parents with their children. That’s what I’m focused on and that’s my job as a parent.

Piqué’s lawyer, Ramón Tamborero, said in February, in his first public comments on the couple’s divorce negotiations: “They have made a great effort for the sake of their children, making sure that they were not the protagonists.”

Both have shown great intelligence.

In a surprise interview with the respected Catalan daily La Vanguardia, father of two, Mr. Tamborero, 74, admitted to the talks that resulted in the deal: ‘It took seven months of negotiations.

‘The agreement was complex and required preparatory meetings. And the decisive reunion before the signing lasted 13 hours.’

Shakira will have to return to Barcelona for a £12 million tax fraud trial, but no trial date has yet been set. She has denied any wrongdoing after being charged with six counts of tax fraud that prosecutors say she committed between 2012 and 2014.

A source close to the singer said about her decision to move to Miami before the end of the school year, in quotes published by the Catalan newspaper El Periódico: ‘Milan and Sasha have good grades and the teachers don’t see it as a problem.

“The decision has been well thought out and Shakira feels very calm after the schools did not object.

“If it negatively affected them in any way, she wouldn’t have made the decision to go to Miami now.”
