Shakiradoesn’t want her kids to get caught up in her fame.
The “Don’t Wait Up” singer, 44, shares sonsSasha, 5, andMilan, 8, with longtime loveGerard Piqué. While she and her partner may be international superstars, Shakira discussed on Tuesday how they try to keep their family life separate from their celebrity status.
“I don’t make them listen to my music,” she toldET Canada. “I try to avoid playing my own music in my house.”
At home, she and Piqué try to create as much “normalcy” for their boys as possible, Shakira added.
“I can’t deny they can’t escape the reality that I’m a public person, as well as their dad,” she said. “But we try to provide as much normalcy as we can, and live really as very simple people.”
