Shakira has asked a Barcelona court to change the travel arrangements for Milan and Sasha. Her lawyers say the proposal would share the burden between the adults without reducing the children's time with Gerard Piqué.
On Tuesday 6 October 2026, Shakira and Gerard Piqué appeared before Court of First Instance No. 18 in Barcelona. The hearing concerns the visiting section of the separation agreement they reached in 2022.
The proposed change would move some short holiday visits to Miami. Milan and Sasha would not need to cross the Atlantic for stays lasting only a few days.
The distance matters.
Legal explanations reported by El Español, El Periódico de Catalunya and El Mundo say the proposed adjustment would protect the children's school routine, social life and family life. Shakira's lawyers also connect the request to their emotional and physical wellbeing and their academic stability.
EFE described the Barcelona hearing as a review of the existing visiting regime after the family's relocation to the United States.
A short stay can still mean a long flight and a time-zone change. Shakira's position is that adults should share those costs instead of placing them mainly on Milan and Sasha.
That is the dispute.
The petition is framed as a change to the travel arrangements in the agreement. It does not seek to remove Piqué from the children's schedule. A separate Valencia report concerns a political dispute. This Barcelona case deals with the daily logistics of a family living in two cities.
The court has not approved the proposed changes in the available material. Proceedings over the visiting regime are continuing, and the final arrangement remains under consideration.
The sources confirm Piqué's participation in the hearing. They do not disclose a final ruling or a detailed public response from his side.
On the facts available, Shakira is seeking to redistribute the travel rather than reduce parental contact. The court must now consider whether the old schedule fits the children's current home, school routine and daily life.
