Shakira takes children to karate class before they attend Gerard Pique’s final match at FC Barcelona
>
Shakira looked casual as she took her children to a karate class on Saturday before being allowed to attend their father Gerard Pique’s last match at FC Barcelona.
The singer, 45, wore ripped jeans and a gray and black tie-dye t-shirt, and added a black cap and sunglasses to keep her unobtrusive while looking after her sons Milan, nine, and Sasha, seven.
Later in the day, the two boys joined their father, Shakira’s estranged husband Gerard, 35, during his last game as a professional footballer at the Camp Nou in Barcelona.

The pair played on the pitch with their father wearing FC Barcelona kits after his last game as a footballer.
Playing against Almeria in the La Liga competition, Gerard’s team won 2-0 on Saturday night and said an emotional goodbye to the fans as he walked away from the game.
He was visibly upset after the match, but it seemed like he enjoyed sharing the moment with his two boys who he shares with the hitmaker Hips Don’t Lie.

The outing came after it turned out that Shakira seems to settle accounts with her ex through her music after the Spanish footballer is said to have been unfaithful.
She first appeared to include a jab at Piqué in her single Te Felicito (I Congratulate You).
A key line in the song is translated as: ‘To make you whole / I broke myself to pieces / I was warned but I didn’t listen / Don’t tell me you’re sorry / I know you well and I know you’re lying. ‘

In an interview with Elle Magazine, the hitmaker was asked about the rule and its apparent connection to her marital problems.
“Is that the feeling you had that you had to give a part of yourself during that relationship that might have been hard to get back?” she was asked by Lulu Garcia-Navarro.
“I can only say that, consciously or unconsciously, everything I feel, everything I go through, is reflected in the lyrics I write, in the videos I make,” said Shakira. “If the glove fits, it fits. As I said before, my music is that station.’

Shakira’s song and accompanying video feature Puerto Rican singer Raw Alejandro, who is currently in a relationship with Rosalía.
In the video, he appears to be playing both a romantic interest for Shakira and a robot clone of the same person, which Shakira tinkers with until it comes to life.
It comes as Shakira and Pique continue to try to reach an agreement about their divorce, with the pair recently being spotted outside the offices of a law firm.
Adding to her interview with Elle Magazine, Shakira said, “I think the details are somehow too private to share, at least right now – everything is so raw and new. All I can say is that I put everything I had into this relationship and into my family.”

Gerard Pique also announced his shocking retirement from football this week.
This Saturday was the 35-year-old’s last game for his beloved club, the culmination of a storied career, but also the culmination of a chaotic couple of months during which he endured a high-profile breakup with Shakira and found himself at odds with his paymasters.
He remains a popular figure with many, but was booed by supporters during a friendly against Real Madrid in Las Vegas earlier this year after his split with Shakira and more recently this month, this time for refusing a pay cut.
