Shakira continues to captivate audiences across the United States with her highly successful Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour, but over the weekend it was a family moment—not a concert—that captured fans’ attention.
The Colombian superstar was spotted alongside her sons, Milan and Sasha, watching Argentina take on Austria during the FIFA World Cup 2026. The appearance quickly went viral, with fans sharing photos and videos of the singer enjoying the match with the two boys she shares with former soccer star Gerard Piqué.
Before attending the game, Shakira had been seen backstage ahead of her concert in San Jose, California, walking with her sons in a moment that generated plenty of buzz online. Many fans couldn’t help but notice how much Milan has grown, with the 13-year-old now appearing noticeably taller than his famous mother.
Shakira later attended the Argentina-Austria match, where she was seated in one of the stadium’s suites alongside Milan and Sasha.
During the game, cameras captured the singer celebrating one of Lionel Messi’s two goals as Argentina secured the victory. When Shakira appeared on the stadium’s giant screen, she was greeted with cheers from the crowd, creating one of the day’s most talked-about moments.
The appearance marked another high-profile outing for the singer, who has balanced her demanding tour schedule with family time and select public appearances.
For many fans, seeing Shakira at a World Cup match felt fitting. The singer has maintained a close connection to soccer throughout much of her public life. She famously performed ‘Waka Waka’ (This Time for Africa), the official song of the 2010 FIFA World Cup, and later became one of the most recognizable figures associated with the sport through her relationship with former Spanish soccer player Gerard Piqué.
Over the years, Milan and Sasha have also developed a visible passion for the game, frequently attending matches and sporting events with their parents.
One detail that sparked additional conversation among fans was the fact that Shakira attended Argentina’s match rather than Spain’s game against Saudi Arabia. The decision drew attention because recent media reports have continued to speculate about a possible renewed connection between the singer and her former longtime partner, Antonio de la Rúa, who is Argentine.
While De la Rúa was not seen in publicly available images from the match, several entertainment outlets reported that he was also present at the game in Dallas. Neither Shakira nor De la Rúa have publicly commented on the reports or confirmed the nature of their current relationship.
As she continues her record-breaking tour, Shakira appears focused on balancing her professional commitments with quality time alongside her children.
Whether performing before thousands of fans or cheering from the stands at the World Cup, the singer continues to create memorable moments—this time with Milan and Sasha by her side as they watched Lionel Messi and Argentina continue their journey in FIFA World Cup 2026.
