  • This incident reignites tensions regarding the children's privacy, following a previous dispute over Piqué's use of a child in a live stream.

The ongoing saga between Gerard Piqué and Shakira has taken a new turn, with reports suggesting the former footballer is contemplating legal action against his ex-partner. The catalyst for this potential dispute is the appearance of their children, Milan and Sasha, on screen during Shakira's massive concert in Rio de Janeiro.

Sources indicate that Piqué's camp is urging him to pursue legal avenues, arguing that the children's images were broadcast to a vast audience without the necessary formal consent. While Shakira may not have received an explicit 'no,' the lack of a definitive 'yes' for such a high-profile event has apparently caused significant unease for Piqué, who is reportedly concerned about his sons' right to privacy amidst their parents' intense public scrutiny.

If you don't receive an explicit negative, you don't have the necessary permission to make them public at an event of such magnitude.

This is not the first time the couple's co-parenting arrangements have led to friction. Last year, Shakira expressed her displeasure when Piqué included one of their children in a Kings League broadcast. That incident set a precedent for disagreements over the children's media exposure. Despite reports of a recent improvement in their relationship, this latest event in Brazil has once again cast a shadow, highlighting the delicate balance required to protect the children's identity.

Dai Dai will arrive on May 14.
