In just a few hours international sensation Shakira is set to grace the upcoming MTV VMA 2023. However, in the midst of these celebratory hours, the Colombian singer finds herself embroiled in a familiar battle with her ex-boyfriend, Gerard Pique. This time, the dispute revolves around the scheduling of their children’s vacations during the festive season.

Following their highly publicized breakup, Shakira and Pique have been caught in a whirlwind of controversy. From diss tracks to public jabs, their breakup has been shrouded in drama. However, a temporary ceasefire seemed to have been established between the two when Pique agreed to address Shakira’s concerns about his involvement in their children’s lives. Regrettably, it appears that their truce was short-lived.

Shakira and Gerard Pique are at war once again

The former couple’s journey through the court system has been a constant presence in their lives since their breakup. Initially, their legal battle centered around custody rights, with Shakira eventually being granted primary custody and relocating to Miami with their children. Pique, on the other hand, was awarded visitation rights every ten days.

It is this arrangement that is now causing friction as the festive season approaches. According to reports from Semana, Sasha and Milan‘s Christmas vacation has become a new point of contention between the former pair. The issue stems from the differing school vacation schedules in Spain and the United States.

With the holidays approaching, their lawyers are reportedly in discussions to determine the exact dates of these vacations. Co-parenting can be challenging even under the most favorable circumstances. And the added complexity of international travel schedules only exacerbates the situation. While altercations of this nature have been a recurring theme in their breakup story, what has not happened before is the award Shakira is set to receive at the VMAs.
