Despite Piqué not necessarily wanting his children to relocate to a whole new continent, a source close to the estranged pair revealed the settlement's sole purpose was to give Sasha, 7, and Milan, 9, more opportunities going forward.

Shakira and Piqué "signed an agreement that is best for the kids — which is their main focus and after 8 years of living in Barcelona. Her and the kids will now move back to her longtime home of Miami, where all the maternal family is," dished the insider.

Following the estranged pair's confirmation, the "Can't Remember to Forget You" singer — who met the professional soccer star on the set of her "Waka Waka (This Time for Africa)" music video — opened up about her relationship's demise in a transparent interview.

"I can only say that I put everything I had into this relationship and my family," the mother-of-two revealed to Elle on Wednesday, September 21, adding how Piqué basically gave her no choice but to pause her career and stay put in Barcelona while he lived out his dreams.

TMZ reported the duo's joint statement about custody.
