3606 Miles Away From Dad Gerard Pique, Kids’ 2-Word Praise of Shakira Steals Attention at 2023 MTV VMAs

Shakira graced the MTV VMA Awards after a 17-year hiatus. The Colombian’s appearance after such a long break was worthwhile, as she won the Video Vanguard award, the first for a Latin American. The Waka Waka singer was accompanied by her kids who were 3606 miles away from their father, Gerard Pique. Interestingly, one of the kids managed to capture the spotlight at the event with just two words of praise for his mother.

Previously, Shakira and Gerard Pique were embroiled in a dispute regarding their children’s holiday plans for Christmas. While the couple eventually reached a consensus on the custody arrangements, it appears that they still harbor some lingering concerns.

Prior to receiving the Vanguard honor and delivering a remarkable stage performance, Shakira made a striking appearance on the red carpet, accompanied by her two sons, Milan and Sasha. The Barranquilla native donned an elegant, long gold dress adorned with slits. Meanwhile, her young ones were dressed in matching Versace black suits with gold accents to complement her outfit.

While on the red carpet, several media outlets approached the pop icon. An international television network journalist took the opportunity to inquire if Shakira’s best companions for the evening were her children. In response, the Colombian artist confirmed with a smile and drew her children closer. Seizing the moment, the journalist then turned to Milan, asking for his thoughts on his mother’s attire. As translated by DeepL, he responded with a succinct two-word, saying, “super pretty.”

Milan then added, “She always looks beautiful”. Indeed, the 10-year-old boy’s heartfelt compliment was enough to warm anyone’s heart. Shakira must have been deeply moved to hear such endearing words from her beloved son. While Milan was praising his mom in New Jersey, his dad was busy writing a cryptic message, 3606 miles away in Spain.
