EXCLUSIVE: Shakira puts on a brave face as she’s spotted leaving Miami airport with her sons after it was revealed she could face EIGHT YEARS in prison for tax fraud
Shakira was spotted leaving a Miami airport with her sons on Tuesday, following news that she might face up to eight years in prison for tax fraud.
The singer is accused of pretending on tax documents to live abroad from 2012 to 2014, when she was actually a resident of Spain, authorities from the country claim. Shakira called Barcelona home while together with soccer star Gerard Piqué, 35, who plays for the city. The pair, who share two young sons, are now split following accusations that Piqué was unfaithful.
Shakira is said to be planning to leave the country trying to jail her, and eyeing a permanent move to Miami — where she was seen stepping off a plane with her boys Sasha, seven, and Milan, nine. It appears the trio were arriving from Los Angeles, California, where they attended an LA Dodger’s game, according to Shakira’s Instagram.
The Colombian superstar, 45, has already repaid the $15.5 million she is accused of evading on Spanish taxes, as well as over $3 million in interest.
A spokesman for Shakira said: ‘Shakira has always cooperated and abided by the law, demonstrating impeccable conduct as an individual and a taxpayer, and faithfully following the counsel of PricewaterhouseCoopers, a prestigious and globally recognized tax firm.’

The Hips Don’t Lie hitmaker looked effortlessly chic in a peach summer dress, which she paired with white espadrille platforms. She accessorized the look with a matching peach purse, which she wore looped over her wrist. The beauty wore her voluminous brunette tresses parted in the middle and cascading down her shoulders.
The songbird was fresh-faced for the arrival in Florida — her rumored potential new home base — letting her natural beauty shine through, wearing just a touch of black eyeliner and pink lipstick.
Amid the tax scandal and ongoing divorce, Shakira’s social media presence has been dedicated to images related to her work. Instagram posts on her public account have been primarily of her new reality compeтιтion show on NBC, ‘Dancing With Myself,’ where she is a judge alongside singer Nick Jonas and YouTube personality Liza Koshy.
The singer strayed from that business-minded public profile on Tuesday to post a rare pH๏τo with her sons enjoying a day at Dodger’s stadium in Los Angeles.
‘Thanks to the Dodgers for making my kids feel at home,’ Shakira wrote to accompany a pH๏τo on her Instagram account where she posed with three of the team’s players and her children.
