Shakira’s Adorable Date Night With Sons At Latin Grammys _ E! News

Transcript

00:00 Shakira is both an iconic superstar and a loving mom whenever, wherever. The singer brings her

00:06 two sons Milan and Sasha as her date to the 2023 Latin Grammy Awards. During the November 16th

00:12 ceremony, she was sure to pay tribute to her boys, who she shares with ex Gerard Pique,

00:17 by projecting a video of them behind her as she performed her ballad "Acróstico." The sweet moment

00:22 didn't end there as Milan and Sasha cheered their mom on from the crowd before embracing her in a

00:27 group hug after the song. Later that night, Shakira took home the award for Song of the Year

00:32 for Bizarre Rap Music Sessions, Volume 53, and made sure to dedicate her acceptance speech to

00:37 her adorable sons, saying, "I have promised them that they will have a mother who will laugh as

00:42 hard as she can because they deserve it." The Grammy winner has been vocal about her journey

00:46 as a single mother following her breakup from Gerard in June 2022. The "Hips Don't Lie" singer

00:51 moved her family from Spain to Miami after parting ways with a former soccer player,

00:56 revealing it's been quite an adjustment. In an interview with Billboard, published in September,

01:00 the singer shared, "Sometimes I think being a single mom and the rhythm of being a pop star

01:05 aren't compatible. I have to put my kids to bed, go to the recording studio. Everything is uphill.

01:10 When you don't have a husband who can stay home with the kids, it's constant juggling,

01:13 because I like to be a present mom and I need to be there every moment with my children,

01:17 take them to school, have breakfast with them, take them to playdates, and aside from that,

01:21 I have to make money." But despite her very public split from Gerard after 11 years together,

01:26 she believes the experience made her stronger. "I feel like a cat with more than nine lives.

01:30 Whenever I think I can't get any better, I suddenly get a second wind. I've gone through

01:34 several stages. Denial, anger, pain, frustration, anger again, pain again," adding, "Now I'm in a

01:40 survival stage. Like, just get your head above water and it's a reflection stage, and a stage

01:45 of working very hard and when I have time with my children, really spend it with them." And that

01:50 quality time includes taking her kids with her to Latin Grammys.
