Major update in Shakira and Pique divorce battle as new date for singer’s life-changing move with their kids ‘revealed’
SHAKIRA is "just weeks away" from moving to Miami with her two kids amid the fallout from her bitter split with Ex-Gerard Pique.
Speculation has grown surrounding the relocation of the Colombian popstar but experts claim she will arrive in the US by April.
The revelation comes as the much-loved singer was expected to move to Miami in January.
However, those plans were delayed due to her 91-year-old father's poor health.
But as of yesterday, the music icon and her two sons have set a new date of April 1, according to Shakira expert Laura Fa.
She told Catalan newspaper El Periodico: "We’re keeping a very close eye on when Shakira can go to Miami.

"What we’re being told is that she’s got a scheduled date to move there, which would be April 1.
"If everything pans out she wants to go on that date."
Her claims were backed by colleague Lorena Vasquez, who said: "This is information we’re receiving from the former couple’s closest circle.
"The only obstacle would be the health of Shakira's father and it’s been well-documented that his health is a little bit complicated at the moment.
"Shakira’s idea is to take advantage of the Spring Break in the States to be able to travel to Miami with her sons so they could start their classes when the children there come back to class."
The relocation update followed the announcement in January that Shakira could stay in Spain for another five months as her messy split with Pique continued to drag on.
The former couple confirmed in November 2022, they had signed a child custody agreement after a protracted negotiation that lasted more than 12 hours.
It is believed Shakira’s wish to move to Miami was one of the underlying sticking points in their previous failure to strike an out-of-court settlement.
The pair, who split in May, said in a joint statement: "We wish to communicate that we have signed an agreement that guarantees the welfare of our children and that will be ratified in court as part of a mere formal procedure.
"Our sole objective is to provide them with the upmost security and protection and we trust that their privacy will be respected.
"We appreciate the interest shown and hope that the children can continue with their lives with the necessary privacy in a safe and calm environment."
They signed the accord at a court in Barcelona in December.
As part of the agreement the retired Barcelona defender, now dating 23-year-old Catalan beauty Clara Chia, will spend holiday time with his children.
In her first TV interview last month since her split with Pique, Shakira revealed she has come out of their painful break-up "strengthened" and now feels self-sufficient.
Despite the self-empowerment, it has not stopped the popstar from launching scathing attacks on her Ex and his new lover through her music.
Following the release of her hit song with Argentinian DJ Bizarrap released in January, she told local media: "There is a place in hell reserved for women who don’t support other women."
She has also penned and performed a number of diss songs since the break up.
