Shakira continues to mix her professional commitments with personal moments while continuing her successful ‘Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour’ across the United States. Over the weekend, however, a family outing rather than a concert performance caught the attention of fans and media outlets.The Colombian superstar was photographed attending Argentina’s match against Austria during the FIFA World Cup 2026 in Dallas, accompanied by his two sons, Milan and Sasha, who he shares with former soccer player Gerard Piqué. The image quickly spread on social media platforms, with fans sharing photos and videos of the singer enjoying the game from a stadium suite with his children, as reported by Las Top News

The moments leading up to the match have already generated online discussion. Before her concert performance in San Jose, California, Shakira was seen backstage with Milan and Sasha, walking together in a moment that drew a lot of attention from fans watching the family’s activities. The appearance prompted widespread comment about Milan’s noticeable growth, with the 13-year-old now appearing taller than her famous mother.
Shakira’s long-standing connection to soccer and the World Cup
For many who have followed her career, Shakira’s attendance at the World Cup match felt more appropriate because of her association with the sport. The singer has had a notable and prominent relationship with soccer throughout his life. In particular, he sang ‘Waka Waka’ (This Time for Africa), the official anthem for the 2010 FIFA World Cup, and the song is still connected to the World Cup in popular memory.In addition to her ties to music and sport, Shakira is also one of the most recognizable names associated with soccer due to her long relationship with ex-Spanish soccer star Gerard Piqué. His sons also seem to have inherited his love for the game, often watching games and plays with their parents and showing great interest in soccer culture.
Speculation surrounds the choice of match between Shakira and Antonio de la Rúa
One aspect that led to discussions among entertainment commentators was Shakira’s choice to travel to Argentina for the match instead of Spain, which was playing at the same time against Saudi Arabia. His choice was chosen, in part, because of the recent media buzz about a potential renewal of his relationship with his former long-term partner, Argentinean Antonio de la Rúa.De la Rúa has not been seen in publicly released images from the game, but reports indicate he traveled to the Dallas stadium. Neither Shakira nor De la Rúa have commented on the reports or confirmed their relationship status.With Shakira on a record-breaking tour of North America, she seems to be trying to balance her busy career with the time she spends with her children. The many public appearances over the weekend, from backstage in San Jose to World Cup stadium appearances, show a concerted effort to keep the family together while on the road, with his touring commitments.
