The appeal is heartfelt that Shakira he addressed the media, especially reporters and photographers, upon his arrival in Miami. The singer has decided to leave Barcelona after breaking up with Gerard Piquefather of the children Milan and Sacha. She has chosen to start a new life on the other side of the world, putting thousands of kilometers away between herself and her ex-partner, who is in love with her again next to her girlfriend Clara Chia Marti. After moving on, she asked local media to allow her children to do the same so that children too can leave such a complex year behind them.
Shakira to the media: “My children are coming from a very complicated year”
“In this time of change in my life as a public figure, it is understandable that there is constant media curiosity about me and my family. But my sons, Milan and Sacha, have gone through a very difficult year, enduring relentless harassment by the paparazzi and the media in Barcelona”, thus begins the long one letter that Shakira addressed to the media in order to sensitize them and push them to leave their children alone:
Now that they are starting a new life, I plead with the media on behalf of my children to respect their right to privacy. Please refrain from following them into or out of school and to the door of our house, or following them in their extracurricular activities with the intention of taking pictures of them.

“I trust that journalists and photographers here will be sensitive to the situation that Milan and Sacha are facing and that they can behave in the most humane way possible with them, bearing in mind that we are dealing with the physical and emotional health of two minors aged just 8 and 10 who just want to be able to feel safe in public without being chased or subjected to constant surveillance by cameras”, continued Shakira, “I make this request not as an artist but as a mother who wishes to take care of the psychological and emotional well-being of her children so that they can live a healthy and happy life, as every child deserves.”.
