Shakira asks the media and journalists to be more humane with her children: I address you as a sub, not as an artist

Shakira asks the media and journalists to be more humane with her children: I

Shakira has asked the press for privacy after spending a "difficult year" with her children. This comes almost a year after the singer announced her split from Barcelona defender Gerard Pique.

In a post on social networks, Shakira talked about the "changes" in her life and the impact it has had on her children. The Instagram post, which attracted over a million likes and over 43,000 comments, says:

"Dear friends, journalists and media. At this moment of change in my life as a public figure, it is understandable that there is a constant curiosity from the press about me and my family. However, my children, Milan and Sasha, have lived a very difficult year, suffering a continuous siege and relentless pursuit by the paparazzi and various media in Barcelona. As they begin a new phase in their lives, I appeal to the media on behalf of my children to respect their right to privacy."

Concerned for the safety of her children Milan, nine, and Sasha, seven, the singer asked photographers and journalists to "refrain" from following them.

The post continued: "I extend this petition no longer as an artist, but as a mother who wants to protect and care for the psychological and emotional well-being of her children so that they can lead healthy and happy lives as every child deserves it. Thank you for your understanding and support."
