Shakira continues to mix her professional commitments with personal moments as she continues her highly successful ‘Las Mujeres Ya No Lorraine World Tour’ across the United States. Over the weekend, however, a family outing rather than a concert performance caught the attention of fans and media outlets.The Colombian superstar was pictured attending the Argentina vs Austria match during the FIFA World Cup 2026 in Dallas, alongside her two sons Milan and Sasha, who she shares with former footballer Gerard Pique. As reported by Las Top News, the look quickly went viral across social media platforms, with fans sharing photos and videos of the singer enjoying the match from the stadium suite with her children.

The moments before the match have already sparked online discussions. Before her concert performance in San Jose, California, Shakira was spotted backstage with Milan and Sasha, walking together in a moment that drew considerable attention from fans watching the family’s activities. The look prompted widespread commentary about Milan’s noticeable growth, with the 13-year-old now looking taller than her famous mother.
Shakira has a long association with football and the World Cup
To many who followed her career, Shakira’s appearance at the World Cup match seemed all the more fitting because of her association with the game. The singer had a noticeable and prominent relationship with football throughout his life. Notably, he sang ‘Waka Waka’ (this time for Africa), the official anthem of the 2010 FIFA World Cup, and the song is still deeply connected to the World Cup in popular memory.Apart from her musical association with the sport, Shakira was one of the most recognizable names associated with football due to her long relationship with former Spanish football star Gerard Pique. His sons also seem to have inherited his love of the game, often watching games and sports with their parents and showing a keen interest in football culture.
Speculations are rife around Shakira’s match and Antonio de la Rua
One aspect that led to discussion among entertainment commentators was Shakira’s choice to travel to Argentina for the match instead of Spain, which played against Saudi Arabia at the same time. Her selection was chosen, given recent media buzz about a possible rekindling of her relationship with her former long-term partner, Argentine Antonio de la Rua.De la Rua was not seen in publicly released photos from the game, but reports indicate he traveled to Dallas Stadium. Neither Shakira nor De La Rua have commented on the report or confirmed their relationship status.With Shakira on a record-breaking tour of North America, she seems to be making every effort to balance her busy career with time spent with her children. Numerous public appearances over the weekend, from backstage in San Jose to appearances at World Cup Stadium, indicate a concerted effort to bring the family together while on the road with his tour commitments.
