In April, Shakira moved to Miami with her parents and children. She mainly wanted to get away from the paparazzi and media in Barcelona. However, the situation hasn’t necessarily gotten better after moving to the new country. The cameras still continue to follow the singer and her family. But now she is seeking a new solution to stay clear of the incessant paps.

Lately, the Colombian singer is in a minor controversy with her ex-boyfriend. Gerard Pique is reportedly upset at Shakira for a major reason. The singer featured her children in her music video, which dragged them further into the limelight.

In the last few months, quite a few people have criticized Shakira for ‘overexposure’ of her children. The whole controversy and the public attention were at the cost of their kids’ well-being. Her diss track controversy has been going on for months.

The singer could control Milan and Sasha’s interaction with the media, but not their interactions with other children in school. From all sides, the two children would eventually become an equal part of the controversy, just like their parents. Her latest track, Acrostico, hasn’t helped their ‘privacy’ situation at all. A recent report suggests that the media pressure has now become ‘unbearable’.
