GettyShakira Says Her Sons Are ‘the Reason Why [She’s] Alive’
This isn’t the first time Shakira has had her sons on stage with her — kind of. During her concert, the boys appear onscreen singing along while their mom performs “Acróstico,” which is “the tender ballad Shakira wrote for her children, promising them she’d stay strong amid the split from [their father Gerard Piqué],” according to the BBC.
“My heart melts every time I see them on that screen and I hear their little voices,” Shakira said of the moment.
She added, “They’re just everything to me. They’re my engine and the reason why I’m alive. So having them every night on stage, it’s just such a precious moment.”
Shakira Says Being a Mom Is ‘the Hardest Job on Earth’
There’s no doubt that Shakira is fierce onstage and it turns out that she’s just as fierce as a mom.
“I’m one of those tiger moms, who is all the time looking for help and information online and researching and reading. It’s not easy to be a mother,” the singer said back in December 2020, when Sasha was nine months old and Milan was two and a half, per People.
“It’s one of the most difficult things I’ve done in my life,” she said. “I’ve been on the most challenging stages performing in front of really demanding audiences and I’ve been meeting with world leaders who sometimes make you a little bit apprehensive, but nothing has made me so self-conscious as being a mom.”
Beyond that, she admitted, “Every day I wonder if I’m doing the right thing. I just want to improve in the job, the hardest job on earth.”
Grow up lady.
You embarrass those kids.
