Shakira Celebrates Grammy Win with Her Sons in an Emotional Moment
Shakira had a night to remember at the 2025 Grammy Awards in Los Angeles, where she took home the prestigious Best Latin Album award for her latest record, Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran. The moment became even more special as she celebrated her victory with her two sons, Milan (12) and Sasha (10), who were in the audience to cheer her on.
As her name was announced inside the Crypto.com Arena, the Colombian superstar embraced her sons tightly before walking up to the stage. Dressed in an elegant gown, Shakira radiated joy as she accepted the award from none other than Jennifer Lopez. The win was made even sweeter by the fact that it coincided with her 48th birthday, making the occasion all the more meaningful.
A Mother’s Emotional Speech
During her acceptance speech, Shakira took a heartfelt moment to acknowledge her two boys, who have been a pillar of strength in her life.
“I want to share this award with my sons, Milan and Sasha. They are here with me tonight. I am so proud of you both, of your kind hearts. Thank you for supporting me in the way that you do. I love you both so much,” she expressed, her voice filled with emotion.
The singer’s relationship with her children has been in the public eye since her highly publicized split from longtime partner Gerard Piqué. The former power couple, who were together for over a decade, went their separate ways in the summer of 2022. Since then, Milan and Sasha have been primarily living with their mother in the United States, though Piqué remains an active part of their lives, frequently visiting and spending holidays with them in Spain.
A Triumphant Return to the Stage
Later that night, Shakira took to social media to share moments from her Grammy win, expressing gratitude to her fans and teasing her upcoming world tour. The post quickly garnered millions of likes, with fans celebrating her well-deserved recognition.
Beyond winning, Shakira also delivered one of the most electrifying performances of the night, proving once again why she remains one of the most influential Latin artists in the world. The Grammy stage was set ablaze as she performed a high-energy medley of hits, mesmerizing the audience with her signature dance moves and powerful vocals.
Reflecting on Her Journey
Ahead of the awards, a pre-recorded video of Shakira was played, in which she opened up about her personal and professional evolution. “The last time I performed on this stage was in 2007. Since then, so much has happened. I feel like I have lived nine different lives,” she reflected.
Looking back on her career, Shakira expressed her pride in having paved the way for Spanish-speaking artists to gain wider recognition in the American music industry. “I wouldn’t change a thing, not even the struggles I had to face to get my music played on U.S. radio stations. It was all part of the journey.”
Turning Tears into Diamonds
Perhaps the most touching part of her speech was when she referenced her highly publicized breakup with Piqué and how she transformed her heartbreak into artistic inspiration.
“It’s been seven years since my last album. When I started writing this one, I was going through a painful separation, but that wasn’t the only loss I was experiencing. Everything I had ever feared came crashing down all at once. I had to find a way to rebuild myself. And music became my salvation. It helped me turn all that pain and anger into something beautiful. It was like watching my tears turn into diamonds.“
Her words resonated deeply with her fans, many of whom have followed her journey through the highs and lows of love, career, and personal growth.
With this Grammy win, a new album, and an upcoming world tour, it’s clear that Shakira is back and stronger than ever. And as she continues to evolve, one thing remains certain—her music will always be the soundtrack to resilience and empowerment.
