Shakira Latin Grammy Triumph: Shakira showcased her remarkable talent and maternal devotion at the 2023 Latin Grammy Awards, where the Colombian sensation, aged 46, graced the stage with her two sons, Sasha (7) and Milan (9). The trio delivered a heartwarming performance of Shakira’s enchanting ballad, “Acróstico.” Following the rendition, a touching exchange unfolded as the boys embraced their mother.
Later in the evening, Sasha and Milan, visible supporters from the audience, cheered Shakira as she received the prestigious Song of the Year award for “BZRP Music Sessions, Vol. 53.” In her acceptance speech, delivered in Spanish, Shakira dedicated the honor to her sons, promising them a future filled with her genuine happiness.
“I have promised them that they will have a mother who will laugh as hard as she can, because they deserve it,” Shakira expressed, emphasizing her commitment to infusing joy into her music and every aspect of her creative endeavors. She shared a poignant sentiment: “As a friend once told me, there is nothing in the past. Only the future is remembered.”
Sasha and Milan, offspring of Shakira and her ex-partner Gerard Piqué, also played significant roles in the music video for “Acróstico,” released earlier in the year. The video beautifully captured Shakira singing at the piano, surrounded by images of her two sons. As the song unfolded, Sasha showcased his musical prowess, singing and playing the piano beside his proud mother.
In an Instagram post translated from Spanish, Shakira expressed her pride in her sons’ musical endeavors: “Milan has written songs that have brought me to tears of emotion, and Sasha has spent hours at the piano, finding his voice. Both have been by my side in the studio.” She added, “Milan and Sasha, it’s so nice to see how you spread your wings and follow your dreams! There is nothing that makes me more fulfilled than being your mother.”
Despite her separation from Piqué in June 2022, Shakira remains committed to shielding her children from the situation. “I try to do it and to protect them because that’s my number one mission in life,” she revealed in a previous interview. Shakira is resolute in providing her sons with a semblance of normalcy, acknowledging their unavoidable exposure to the public eye while striving to lead a simple, grounded life.
