Shakira was brought to tears during a powerful and emotional moment on her Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran world tour when her sons, Milan and Sasha, unexpectedly joined her on stage for a special performance in Argentina.
The 48-year-old global superstar was performing her 2023 song “Acróstico” — a heartfelt ballad dedicated to her children — when Milan, 12, and Sasha, 10, walked onto the stage, prompting loud cheers from the crowd. The song features both boys’ vocals, but this marked a rare and touching live appearance.
A Heartwarming Family Moment
The brothers appeared in matching light-blue suits, perfectly complementing Shakira’s elegant baby-blue gown, which featured a metallic corset bodice and gentle pleated fabric. The audience erupted as the trio delivered an intimate, emotional rendition of the song.
At the end of the performance, Milan leaned in and kissed his mother tenderly on the cheek, while Sasha waved excitedly to thousands of cheering fans — a gesture that made the already emotional moment even more moving.
“Acróstico,” an acrostic-themed song, serves as Shakira’s open love letter to her sons, with each line cleverly beginning with letters representing meaningful words tied to motherhood and healing.
Context Surrounding the Performance
Shakira shares Milan and Sasha with her ex-partner, former FC Barcelona football star Gerard Piqué, 38. The couple separated in June 2022 after more than a decade together.
The heartfelt stage moment unfolded during a major milestone in Shakira’s career: her current tour has recently become the highest-grossing Latin tour by a female artist, earning her Billboard’s Global Touring Icon Award.
Personal Shifts in the Background
The emotional performance also comes amid reports that Gerard Piqué ended his three-year relationship with Clara Chía earlier in April — a development that has attracted significant media attention in Spain and beyond.
Despite personal challenges, Shakira’s stadium tour has been widely praised for its emotional depth, powerful storytelling, and renewed artistic energy, with this surprise appearance by her sons becoming one of its most memorable highlights.
