Shakira has been sent eviction papers from her former father-in-law and is taking her kids to Miami, and the internet is up in arms. 

The famous “Waka Waka” singer herself is officially bidding Spain farewell according to local news outlets. The pop-star thanked those who made her time in Barcelona so special on social media. The former athlete’s dad, Joan Piqué, supposedly sent Shakira an email on March 13th asking her to vacate the couple’s former home by April 30th or pay compensation.

And it seems like instead of getting another residence in the country, Shakira is simply taking her children as far away from this family as she possibly can. Well, Miami that is. 

The 46-year-old singer who shares two children with the former soccer player, bid Spain farewell with an emotional Instagram post. 

In the Instagram post translated from Spanish to English, she wrote “I settled in Barcelona to give my children stability, the same that we are now looking for in another corner of the world next to family, friends and the sea.”

The star also went on to thank those who made her time in Barcelona so special, calling the city where she learned “friendship is undoubtedly longer than love.”

The star also went on to say “Today we begin a new chapter in the search for your happiness. Thanks to everyone who encouraged me there, dried my tears, inspired me and made me grow. Thanks to my Spanish audience who have always covered me with their love and loyalty.”
