Shakira had support from her nearest and dearest at the premiere of her new movie.
On Thursday, Nov. 13, the singer, 48, posed for photographs on the red carpet at the premiere of Zootopia 2 alongside her two kids – sons Milan, 12, and Sasha, 10, whom she shares with ex-partner Gerard Piqué.
The “Hips Don’t Lie” musician, who is reprising her role as Gazelle from Zootopia, could be seen wearing a long-sleeve, turtleneck purple dress. Her two sons wore matching purple suits with purple bow ties, smiling and posing on either side of their mom.

Shakira is one proud mother. Back in June, she spoke with BBC about an emotional high point during her current tour, which comes while she’s singing “Acróstico.” Shakira wrote the ballad for her two kids as a promise to them that she’d stay strong amid the split from their father.
“My heart melts every time I see them on that screen and I hear their little voices,” the star told the outlet. “They’re just everything to me. They’re my engine and the reason why I’m alive. So having them every night on stage, it’s just such a precious moment.”
Elsewhere in the interview, the proud mom admitted that this is the first tour that her boys have been old enough to see her perform. Shakira told the outlet that they have “mixed emotions” about it, saying that they get “stressed out” for her.
“When I have a show, they’re kind of stressed out because they want everything to come out perfect for me,” she said. “They’re always worried, like, ‘Mom, how did it go? Did you fall? Are you okay?’ And I try to show them that there’s no perfect show. It’s okay to make a mistake.”
The Zootopia 2 premiere isn’t the first time Shakira’s two kids have joined her at an event. The proud mom had her two favorite people there to support her at the 2025 Grammy Awards.
On Feb. 2, the Colombian singer brought her sons with her as she attended music’s biggest night. In one sweet photo from the event, the proud mom could be seen walking hand-in-hand with her boys, who wore matching silver tuxedos.
Later in the night, when Shakira took home the award for best Latin pop album, the musician received big hugs from her boys as she headed to the stage. When she accepted her Grammy, Shakira adorably shouted out her sons.
“I want to share this award with my kids, Milan and Sasha, who are here with me,” she said. “I’m so proud of you guys, of your kind hearts.”
Her boys blew her kisses in return as the mom of two added, “Thank you so much for supporting me the way you do. I love you.”
