Shakira left Barcelona watching it burn. At least, creating a fire that would light his march to Miami: this is how the leak of that e-mail sent by the father of his ex, Joan Piqué, could be described, reminding him that at the end of April he had to leave what had been for a decade the family home in Spain. And like Attila’s horse, she did not leave anything useful behind her back: “she took even the sheets”, very direct sources from the ex-partner’s environment explain to this newspaper. But the really surprising thing comes next: Shakira dismantled the mansion that she occupied with her children in the Ciudad Diagonal urbanization (Esplugues de Llobregat) to recondition it a few days before her surprise return to Barcelona at the beginning of June.
Between the last day of May and the first of June, a cleaning brigade showed up at what was the family home of Shakira, Gerard Piqué and their children, Milan and Sasha, which had been left uninhabitable after the march to Miami. While some cleaned up the mansion’s rooms, from floors to ceilings, from walls to windows, others tried to make their exteriors presentable. For the rest, there was a not insignificant expense to replace all the kitchen utensils, cutlery, crockery, trousseau, sheets, pillows, towels and, in short, what was necessary for the day to day that had gone with her, as with the wind in the film that David O’Selznick devised.
They tell this newspaper that Shakira gave away a good part of that trousseau. And if, although it would have been cheaper for her to stay in a hotel during those three days -the children were delivered to her father-, the artist spared no expense to return to her previous aspect of her what was home her.
Gerard Piqué’s entourage did not quite know in detail the reason that brought the Colombian to Barcelona again. From a meeting with Pau Molins, her lawyer in the conflict that confronts her with the Treasury, to enjoying the Montmeló Grand Prix invited by Lewis Hamilton. On the other hand, it has not been revealed why the artist was allowed to return to what was her house but whose ownership is held by the company Inversiones BCN Two
In any case, her departure to Miami was the singer’s unilateral decision: after those hectic days at the beginning of April, we learned that the Piqués did not intend to evict Shakira, since this also meant pushing the children to Miami before their time, extreme that it was always the worst case scenario for his father. They did send that email knowing both parties that the artist could continue enjoying the address until the end of the course. She preferred not to do so and Piqué was the last to know the exact day of her final departure. Right now, the lawyers for both parties are negotiating the children’s vacation schedule until mid-August, when Milan and Sasha will return to school in Miami.
