Charlie Sheen and Denise Richards’ youngest daughter Lola Sheen was spotted out in Los Angeles this week – as her big sister Sami, 20, ramps up X-rated OnlyFans content.

The 18-year-old grabbed lunch to-go at pricey Erewhon market on Thursday afternoon.

Lola, a devout Christian and hospitality worker, was makeup-free and dressed in an all-white outfit.

She layered a slouchy sweater over a spaghetti strap tank top and comfy sweatpants. 

The wholesome blonde walked through the grocery store’s parking lot in brown UGG boots.

She kept her cellphone in one hand and her bagged lunch in the other. 

Later in the day, Lola and Sami’s father Charlie was spotted in Malibu with their younger twin brothers Max and Bob, 14.

The Two And A Half Men star, 58 — who shares his boys with troubled ex-wife Brooke Mueller, 46 — shopped for groceries together at a local market near the beach. 

Charlie and Denise were married from 2002 to 2006 and he went on to marry Mueller two years later in 2008. He and the former Extra correspondent divorced in 2011.

Curiosity around Lola’s low-key life comes amid her sister Sami’s rising OnlyFans career that’s made headlines since she launched her page after her 18th birthday in 2022.

Sami’s X-rated career move even has the support of their Playboy model mom Denise, who has gone on to make an OnlyFans account of her own.

Meanwhile, Lola is the apple that’s fallen many miles away from the tree.

The wholesome teenager is a devout Christian who uses her Instagram page to share bible quotes instead of sexy selfies. 

Unlike Sami, who is raking in six figures stripping on OnlyFans, Lola works a regular job in a restaurant.

She seems to have little interest in the spotlight, and admits that she’s never even watched Denise on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

‘I haven’t seen a single episode,’ she told the Do I Know You? podcast last year.

‘I’ve always wanted to look at things that are more talking about positive things and not a lot of drama.’

Lola’s Instagram bio features the bible chapter and verse Exodus 14:14, which reads, ‘The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.’

She also shares Christian quotes to her Instagram Stories – and noticeably posted two cryptic messages after news broke that sister Sami had launched her first ‘boy/girl collab’ on OnlyFans.

One quote read, ‘May the love of Christ be so evident in your life that other would see Him when they cross your path.’

It’s unclear if Sami and Lola’s drastically different lifestyles have affected their sisterly bond.

The paired were pictured together in Los Angeles last July and were smiling and laughing as they strolled around the city.

However, it now appears that neither sister is following the other on Instagram anymore.

The soft-spoken hospitality worker is lightyears away from her outrageous parents – especially her dad Charlie, who is one of Hollywood’s most notorious figures.

The Two and a Half Men star has caused controversies for decades, including numerous stints in rehab, multiple public meltdowns, three failed marriages, and a few run-ins with the law.

While mom Denise seems to be a saint compared to her ex-husband, she’s still been involved in her fair share of scandalous moments.

From stripping off in Playboy and Wild Things to dating then-best friend Heather Locklear’s ex-husband Richie Sambora and starring in the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Denise has certainly lived a wild life.

Most recently, she shocked fans by following in daughter Sami’s footsteps by joining OnlyFans.

Sami joined the raunchy website just three months after her 18th birthday, and this week she released her very first ‘boy/girl collab’ on the site – just days after turning 20.

Previews of the raunchy collaboration on OnlyFans, which she’s selling for $75, show the young model simulating a sex act in the shower with her boyfriend.

In one post, Sami tells her subscribers to tip her $45 if they want to see her ‘lick my own nipples’.

Another post sees the 20-year-old on all fours in the sand underneath a pier, with the caption, ‘Sex on the beach.’

Sami went under the knife to get breast implants last November after admitting that she’d always wanted ‘to have big boobs like my mom’.

Denise has been fully supportive of her first born’s foray into adult entertainment and joined the platform herself when she saw how much money Sami was earning.

The mother-daughter duo have even taken to collaborating on content together.

Last October, Denise posted a glamorous photo of herself and Sami side-by-side with the caption, ‘Should my mini me @samisheen and I do another collab?’

Denise was slammed by fans online over the stunt, with one writing, ‘This is beyond foul.’

Another fan raged, ‘This is f*****g creepy, weird, inappropriate, and so many other things.’

Denise later backtracked and claimed that she wasn’t collaborating with Sami during an interview on The Viall Files last month.

‘They’re so judgmental to me and people are like, “How can you do this? Your daughter”,’ she told host Nick Viall.

‘I didn’t collaborate with my daughter,’ she stressed.

‘Did I do a picture with my daughter’s face and I that was on social media? Yes. Did I collaborate with my daughter for, like, a sexual OnlyFans shoot? Abso-f***ing-lutely not,’ she said. ‘That is not true.’

The reality TV personality noted that she has not even seen her daughter’s OnlyFans posts.

‘I haven’t even been on my daughter’s site,’ she explained.

Because she did Wild Things and posed for Playboy early in her career, Denise said she is able to relate to her daughter.

‘I was protecting her as a young woman coming into this industry [and] being judged,’ she said. ‘Because it’s not fair that, whether people agree or not, and it’s easy to judge, how can I judge stuff with some of the things I’ve done in my career.

‘Like when I was in Wild Things and I did Playboy, did I ever think, “Oh gosh, one day when my kids are older…” You don’t think about that stuff because it seems so far away.’

She continued: ‘Then that day comes and you’re like, “Well s***, I have to deal with this.” It’s hard.’

Despite her claims, Denise has posted about Sami multiple times on her OnlyFans account.

In July 2022, the RHOBH star wrote, ‘After multiple requests, I will do a photoshoot with my daughter Sami next week. We hope you enjoy the photos.’

A few days later she wrote, ‘Who’s excited for my shoot with @SamiSheen tomorrow! I am! Also, a bit nervous. Send me some love!!! If I can get wifi I’ll try and go live from there tomorrow.’

Sami’s dad Charlie was initially opposed to his daughter’s online gig but later said to Us Weekly, ‘Denise has illuminated a variety of salient points, that in my haste, I overlooked and dismissed.’

He added, ‘Now more than ever, it’s essential that Sami have a united parental front to rely upon, as she embarks on this new adventure. From this moment forward, she’ll have it abundantly.’

However, Denise’s decision to ‘support’ Sami’s career as a self-titled ‘sex worker’ has been criticized by some in her close circles who fear it is ‘damaging’ her daughter’s reputation.

‘Denise is enabling her daughter to continue her OnlyFans knowing damn well that it is damaging her reputation and making her family upset,’ a source exclusively told DailyMail.com.

The insider explained that some of Denise’s fellow Bravo stars aren’t impressed with the example being set by the actress.

‘Sami described herself as a sex worker recently and Denise’s cast members think it’s disgusting that she’s setting this kind of example for her fans.

‘But they also said that the apple doesn’t fall too far from the tree and that Denise is not only approving of this, but enabling it.’

Elsewhere, Sami’s father Charlie is said to be less than impressed with Denise’s support of their daughter’s new career, but he knows that it is ‘ultimately Sami’s decision.’

The source added: ‘Charlie is not at all happy but he knows that it is ultimately Sami’s decision to live the way she wants to live. She is making insane amounts of money from this and that is what is driving her.’

Sami previously responded to a fan on TikTok who accused her of opting to ‘choose porn’ because she has ‘nothing else to offer the world.’

The model recorded herself and said, ‘I am not a [porn] star and I don’t meet up with people. I don’t film myself having sex. I don’t do that.’

She added, ‘The only reason I said I’m a [sex] worker is because my main source of income is from my [OnlyFans]. And if people did their f***ing research, they would realize that there’s multiple forms of [sex] work.’

OnlyFans is used primarily by sex workers who produce NSFW content but it also hosts the work of other content creators, such as physical fitness experts and musicians.

Monday morning I wake up struggling and screaming from a psychotic nightmare, drag myself out of bed, down painkillers for my tortured lower body, then lie in a boiling bath until their numbing effects kick in.

As for my mood, depressed doesn’t even begin to cut it. I feel cripplingly miserable, barely energetic enough to get dressed.

Objectively, of course, I can see that it is a beautiful spring morning. However, for me there is no objective purpose to it. I’m almost 53, a week into my last period and as miserably hormonal as a 15-year-old waiting for a math test. Or should I say biology? Today’s question: “Why on earth am I still having long, regular, painful periods as I’m limping towards my mid-50s?”

Menopause and its myriad harmful effects have never been far from the news lately. Fabulous 50-something celebrities from Mariella Frostrup to Davina McCall are calling for action. Parliament has a British Menopause Taskforce, the government has a menopause czar.

And of course, this is all wonderful, wonderful and necessary: ​​progress, not just for women, but for humanity itself.

It’s just that, in my own case, I have menopause envy. I don’t fear change, I crave it. I’m tired of being stuck in generational limbo. Give me my #menorights now!

First and foremost, I want my period to stop: now, before the next one, because I’m turning 53 next week (because that’s how birthdays are supposed to be celebrated, with clots and cramps and a doom-laden brain).

I know that menopause – officially the state after twelve period-free months – is unlikely to be smooth sailing and can be associated with significant health problems. Women may experience cardiovascular problems, brittle bones, urinary incontinence, problems with sexual function and weight gain.

However, it’s perimenopause—that phase when hormones rise and then fall, hot flashes flare, and tantrums erupt—that can often cause the brunt of the trauma. And it’s perimenopause that I assume I’m suffering from now, or my body’s theatrical view of it.

After all, I swapped my birth control pill for HRT to treat hot flashes a while ago, but there’s still no sign of an endgame, where the well eventually, thankfully, dries up.

Instead, I may endure for years longer the corpse-like, permanent disorder of a woman strolling into her mid-fifties, with the physical and mental anguish of a volatile teenager.

My periods hurt, like they always hurt. They hit full strength every month and last more than a week. My mood plummets, my head and stomach hurt, I can’t sleep, my daytime lethargy is extreme.

As an extra sting in the story, a prolonged period can also make you feel unwell. If you have early menopause (before age 45), you won’t benefit from estrogen’s protective impact on bone density and cardiovascular health. However, late menopause (classified as age 55 or older) is also not ideal, as it increases the risk of breast and uterine cancer (which my mother died from at age 69).

I worry about the consequences for my partner Terence, who jokes about having to put me on suicide watch every month. He must be almost as scared of my cycle as I am.

From my teens through my thirties, my mental health hit rock bottom right before my period. Now it’s most problematic at the end of it, when, since I’m already depressed, I alarm even myself with my despair.

And I don’t even want to think about the ways my period makes me a bad employee. The irony, of course, is that menopause, when it comes, will actually be good for my career.

My inbox is full of emails inviting me to participate in panels, protests and empowerment parties. I can’t seem to order a coffee without someone bending my ear about adding collagen for vaginal atrophy, or how matcha might be better for estrogen-drained bones.

Meno-bonding is such a phenomenon that women look at me suspiciously when I don’t participate, as if I were being stubbornly aloof; not playing the game by volunteering myself as part of the club.

You could say I’m not far off from the average closing date. Maybe, but no one else I know my age is in the same boat, with a cycle that shows no signs of abating, and I regret every second of it.

My mother and younger sisters all stopped bleeding in their forties. They, and more particularly my brothers, are incredulous that I still complain about period pain on the family WhatsApp, with the guys mocking me for ‘faking it to look young’.

“Maybe you started later?” experts try to console. I was 11, barely in high school, also an outlier until every other girl joined in around 14. “It’s not faaair,” I want to bleat.

Forty-two years – and for what? It’s not like I ever wanted children. Forty-two times twelve chances of fainting, leaking, pain, dizziness and depression.

I had my period during my first week at Oxford, my final exams, crucial job interviews and crucial career moments, during countless holidays and while nursing my dying parents. But still they come.

Obviously, I’d like the village-old, don’t-sweat-the-small-things attitude that I’m told is the perk of post-period existence. But I’d settle for pain-free and not still be in danger of getting confused no matter how fashionable Tana Ramsay and co are. let it appear. So here I am still buying condoms in bulk just in case, while my friends are enjoying their relief from all that anxiety.

Frankly, I’ve had enough. It’s time to give up my Nurofen and hot baths, my Tampax and anesthesia, for freedom and calm.

Mother Nature, I beg you, give this hatchet a break.

He’s been romantically linked to Cara Delevigne, Bella Hadid and Laura Woods during his 12 years in the spotlight.

But despite the intense interest in his romantic history, Anthony Joshua has always tried to keep his love life strictly private.

However earlier this month, the British boxer, 34, sent tongues wagging when he put on an affectionate display with influencer and businesswoman Kika Osunde.

After his triumph over Francis Ngannou on Saturday night, the athlete looked thrilled when he spotted Kika in the crowd after the match in Saudi Arabia. 

AJ ran over to the social media star, 37, and gave her a hug before she then planted a kiss on his cheek.

According to The Sun, Anthony said to her: ‘How are you Kika? I haven’t seen you in so long! How are you?’

Days later, Kika posted a video on her Snapchat showing her arms wrapped around Anthony as they enjoyed some quad biking around sand dunes in Dubai.

As well as boasting almost 275,000 Instagram followers and being one of Snapchat’s ‘Top 5 UK Stars’, Kika is the proud co-founder of wig brand Good Hair and the Lagos restaurant Brass and Copper.

Although Anthony insists that he only has a relationship with professional boxing, here FEMAIL delves into the backstory of the woman who may have stolen his heart – from a leaked nude photo scandal to being slammed for a pricey career Q&A.

Upbringing and business dreams

Nigerian Kika was born in North West London in December 1987 and was the youngest of four ‘eccentric’ children, as she details on her website. 

In an interview with Femmetrepreneur in 2017, Kika explained how her friends call her ‘Keeks or Ronks’ and described herself as ‘fun, warm, fashionable and vibrant’.

Praising her upbringing, Kika told the publication: ‘My mother is my biggest supporter and has inspired me to be the ambitious, tenacious devotee of Good Hair. She taught me good work ethic and how to be a go getter!’ 

Setting her sights on the business world from a young age, Kika applied to study Business & Marketing at University College Birmingham. 

During her time at university, Kika met her business partner Chioma and the pair bonded over their shared love of wigs and weaves.

Following their graduation, Kika and Chioma set up Good Hair in 2009 and began extensively promoting it on Facebook – where they amassed a following of 135,000 in just two years.

As well as selling their hair extensions online, the pair also set up a salon in Lagos – which also offers nail, lash and male grooming services.

In January 2018, Kika and Chioma set up the restaurant Brass & Copper in Lagos, which they described as having a ‘metallic Scandi-esque vibe’. 

Kika’s ‘arrest warrant’

In early 2020, Kika found herself embroiled in scandal in Nigeria after being accused of leaking a nude photo of a fashion designer, who is married to a billionaire businessman.

After damaging stories about the designer emerged in local media, the journalists responsible claimed Kika was their source – which the social media star has always denied.

Nigerian publication The Will reported that the social media star was wanted by police for questioning but had ‘taken refuge in Ghana’ at the time before later returning to the UK.

In March 2020, Kika addressed the allegations against her on her Instagram Stories.

She said in a statement: ‘I wish to inform the general public that I’ve seen what is out there against me and my person. But anyway, I’m not ready to join issues with anybody.

‘As it stands, I’m in discussions with my lawyer and I’m making a complaint to the British authorities to be aware that there is also a threat to my life. At this point, I’m not safe anymore. I’m aware that I’ve been reported to the DSS. 

‘I know my rights and the law is going to take its cause (sic). I’m going to follow through the due process to fight my battle.

But not relent, I’m not scared of blackmail or intimidation from those trying to hide their atrocities.

At the appropriate time I will speak my truth with facts. I know my rights, and I will fight for my rights. Stay tuned…’

Kika does not appear to have ever addressed the allegations again. In an interview with Nigerian publication The Guardian, Kika revealed how she spent the pandemic in the UK.

She explained: ‘I’ve stayed very close to my family. We all decided to quarantine together, which was the best decision we made as we went through all the mental and emotional turmoils of a global pandemic together.’ 

Slammed for ‘Kika Experience’ 

Kika now splits her time between London and Dubai and has amassed over 593,000 followers on Snapchat.

The social media star has been named a ‘Top 5 UK Snapchat Star’, having racked up over 100m views on the platform.

In 2022, the star hosted an event in London called ‘The Kika Experience’ where followers could pay £225-a-ticket for an exclusive Q&A with the influencer.

On her blog, Kika wrote: ‘By the end of the experience, you’ll walk away with a playbook telling you all you need to know creating and leveraging valuable relationships across your career.’ 

On her YouTube channel The Way Up with Sol, social media star Solange criticised Kika for asking her fans to pay £225 for a ticket without specifying who the panellists at the experience would be.

Solange said: ‘Even though [her fans] want to get that experience, they might need a little more explanation because there are so many scammers out there.’

In February 2023, Kika was pictured rubbing shoulders with ex British Vogue editor Edward Enninful at a Snapchat and Vogue augmented reality fashion exhibition opening in London.

She wrote on her blog: ‘I had a chance to talk with the amazing Edward Enninful, and at one point, I even locked eyes with the legendary Anna Wintour herself who was impressed by my [Victoria Beckham] shimmery dress. It was unbelievable to be in the same room as such an icon.’ 

In recent years, Kika has worked with Tiffany & Co, Tom Ford and Chanel. She has also set up the Kika Asunde Foundation, which provides mentoring, accessible financing and ‘entrepreneurship training’ to local communities. 

Anthony Joshua ‘romance’ 

Although it is not known when the pair met, Anthony Joshua put on a very cosy display with British hair salon owner and influencer Kika Osunde following his knockout match in Dubai earlier this month.

The boxing champ cuddled up to the star as they quad biked through the desert after sharing a ringside kiss two round demolition of Francis Ngannou in nearby Saudi Arabia.

According to The Sun AJ rushed to Kika in the crowed following the match and asked: ‘How are you Kika? I haven’t seen you in so long! How are you?’.

As she replied: ‘Congratulations. I’m good,’ before planting a kiss on his cheek.

They later went racing through the Dubai dunes with Kika wrapping her arms around the athlete and resting her head on his back. 

According to the publication Anthony had been riding alone, with Kika in a nearby buggy with pals, before she jumped on to join him.

A source said: ‘They looked very cosy and like they were having fun with each other.’ 

The pair also dined together at swanky Lebanese restaurant Babati Lounge and posed with pals for a snap outside the venue. 

A spokesman for AJ told MailOnline: ‘Anthony is in a relationship…. with professional boxing. He has no time for extra commitments. He is having a break from boxing and will return to the gym this week. Sadly the claims of a relationship are just rumours.’

Anthony, who shares eight-year-old son JJ with ex partner Nicole Osbourne, has previously been linked to Gigi Hadid and Rita Mahrez, the then wife of Man City player Riyad Mahrez. 

Last year Anthony revealed why he still lived with his mother insisting that any future partner would struggle to convince him to move out.

The boxer, who moved back into his mother’s two bedroom ex-council flat in 2017 sat down with Louis Theroux to discuss his close relationship with his family and warned future girlfriends they’ll need to compete with his mum, Yeta Odusanya.

‘I still live with my mum,’ the two-time world champion told the BBC. ‘In our culture, we grew up in our own family home, we support our parents. 

‘Why am I going to move out and leave my mum by herself, for some girl? Family is the most important thing. 

‘When a girl gets with me, she ain’t just marrying me, she’s marrying my family.’

The grounded boxing star, who is not publicly in a relationship, admitted that he likes to keep his personal life private as he cannot live up to the expectations people have of him.

He continued: ‘Are we going to dissect everything I say and use it as a narrative to create a story? That’s why I keep myself to myself.

‘You put all this pressure on yourself to come and be this big star and be perfect. I’m telling you, they’ll pull you down. The higher you are, the bigger the drop.’

Damian Lewis has revealed he felt a sense of comfort last year when he released his debut album Mission Creep, which featured lyrics about his late wife Helen McCrory.

The actor and singer’s wife Helen passed away in April 2021 at the age of 52 after being diagnosed with cancer, and Damian was sure to pay tribute to the Peaky Blinders star in his music.

Damian, 53, is currently touring the album and reflected on the writing process during an appearance on Tuesday’s This Morning.

Asked about the writing process by presenter Cat Deeley, he explained: ‘Once I wrote a song, it went on a record. I wrote 10 songs and that felt hard enough.

“I looked at some of my old songs and they were so terrible!”

Damian continued, “But I felt comfortable with Mission Creep. There are some personal songs on there, people will know about my late wife Helen.

“So there are some personal things in there.”

The Billions star and Helen shared daughter Manon, 16, and son Gulliver, 15, who Damian revealed supported his decision to quit acting and pursue music.

He explained: ‘They’re very sweet about it and they’re really talented musicians themselves.

“I think it can be a bit annoying to have your dad making music when you want him to, but they’re more talented than me so I told them to get on with it.

“There’s no chance they ever will [perform] with me.’

Although Damian has not confirmed which songs are about Helen, his emotional song She Comes appears to speak to his grief.

The text reads: ‘She comes like a blackbird, she comes like a fox. She sits by the window and sings from a rock.

‘She is the moon by day and the sun that shines in the dark. She rests in me and she rests in the shadows. She is my joy, she is my pain and she rained on me.”

Damian started writing the songs during lockdown, when Helen was ill, and told the Cambridge Independent: ‘It’s quite a personal collection of songs.

‘Many people will know that I lost my wife about three years ago. This album was written during that time. So it’s inevitable that there’s a reflection of that time in the songs. One or two of the songs are undeniably directly about Helen.

“The rest is storytelling. I love telling stories through songs. Little short stories about events, imagined or real.

‘The very first song I wrote was She Comes. That’s kind of the anthem of the album. That was the one that came out and just kind of flowed.”

Before finding fame as an actor, Lewis walked the streets of London with an acoustic guitar and still plays the instrument as a pastime.

He is also undoubtedly inspired by another musical presence in his life, girlfriend Alison Mosshart, who is best known as the lead singer of the rock bands The Kills and The Dead Weather.

The pair were first spotted together in the summer of 2022, and Alison’s mother Vivian gave the relationship her seal of approval shortly after.

She told MailOnline: ‘They have mutual friends. I don’t know exactly how they met, but I’m fine with it. If she’s happy, we’re happy too.’

The romance blossomed a year after Damian’s wife of 14 years tragically passed away after a secret battle with breast cancer.

When Helen died, the actor revealed how his late wife had urged him to find love again, telling him and their son and daughter that she wanted “daddy to have lots of girlfriends.”

Damian added in the social media post: ‘She died the way she lived. Fearless. God, we love her and know how lucky we are to have had her in our lives. She shone so brightly. Now, Little One, take to the air.”

BOXING legend Mike Tyson went to prison in 1992 after being convicted of rape in Indiana.

The former world heavyweight champion was sentenced to six years in prison and four years of probation, but was released in 1995.

He was convicted in 1992 and sentenced to six years in prison, suspended for four years.

Shakira it felt like she had to give up a lot professionally to keep her family intact.

“For a long time I put my career on hold, to stand beside Gerard [Piqué]so he could play football,” Shakira, 47, said The Sunday times in an interview published on Saturday, March 16. “A lot of sacrifice was made for love.”

Shakira has since moved to Miami from Barcelona, ​​where she previously lived with Piqué, 37, and sons Milan, 10, and Sasha, 8. Moving to the Florida city allowed her to bond with Victoria Beckham about a relationship with a football star. (Victoria, 49, is married to a retired athlete David Beckhamwho now owns a club in Miami.)

“I’ve spoken to Victoria a number of times since I arrived here,” Shakira told the British newspaper. “We always talk about it when I go to watch a match and I know Milan wants that. We haven’t been able to meet each other yet, but we are on WhatsApp. I met David a long time ago when he played for Real Madrid. That was before I started my relationship with any of the Barca players.”

Shakira went on to compare and contrast the life of a pop star — Victoria was notably a member of the Spice Girls when she met her husband — with that of an athlete.

“Empathy is key in an artist’s work. An athlete is in a constant state of war and must avoid empathy at all costs,” the “She Wolf” singer added. “That’s why it’s probably a very bad idea for an artist to hook up with an athlete. I don’t know what I need 1710624837.”

Shakira and Piqué started dating in 2010 and subsequently welcomed sons Milan and Sasha. They eventually split in June 2022 and remained focused on co-parenting their children.

“My priority was my home, my family. I believed in ’till death do us part.’ I believed that dream, and I had that dream for myself, for my children,” Shakira told Billboard in September 2023. “My parents have been together for 50 years, I don’t know, and they love each other like the first day. , with a love that is unique and unrepeatable. … And it has always been my example. I wanted that for myself and my children, but it didn’t happen. When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. That’s what I do: make lemonade.”

She added at the time: “I don’t think anything can compensate for the pain that comes with destroying a family. Of course I must continue for the sake of my children; that is my biggest motivation. But my biggest dream, more than collecting platinum albums and Grammys, was to raise my sons with their father. Overcome obstacles and grow old together. I know I don’t understand that right now.”

Shakira has since moved on to NBA stardom Jimmy Butlerwith only one source telling this We weekly In September, the couple is “growing closer every day,” but she is in no rush to settle down.

Piqué, meanwhile, has also been dating since the split. He is linked Clara Chia Marti since August 2022 and made their Instagram debut in January 2023.

“The truth is that I go to the shops with my girlfriend and she buys them for me,” Piqué joked to Spanish streamer Ibai Llanos a month later, marking his first comments on their romance. “I am a puppet.”

Amid his new relationship, Piqué retired from professional football in November 2022.

“Now is the time to bring this journey to an end. I always said that there would be no other team after Barça. And so it will be,” he said in a video on social media at the time. “I will pass on my love for Barcelona to my children. Like my family did to me. And you know me, sooner or later I’ll be back. I’ll see you at Camp Nou. Long live Barcelona. Always.”

Shakira, meanwhile, is a Grammy-winning singer and has given a new priority to her career after their breakup. Her next album, Las Mujeres Ya No Lloranwill be released later this month.

Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran will reference Shakira and Piqué’s rift, which Milan and Sasha picked up during early previews.

“They know there is only one way to live and that is to accept the pain. And each of us has different ways of doing that,” she said The times, noting that Milan did the same. “When his father and I separated, he wrote two great songs, the kind that will bring you to tears.”
