Shakira is now in the process of separating from her long-term partner Gerard Pique.

Aside from the breakdown of her 12-year partnership, she is also facing tax fraud allegations in Spain, which might lead her to seek a change of scenery.

The "Hips Don't Lie" singer is also claimed to be in the midst of a custody fight for her children and to be considering a permanent move away from Barcelona, Spain.

According to Page Six, the Colombian singer-dancer may leave her problems behind and go to Miami full-time.

Shakira may be going to Miami as a "refuge," according to a family friend and realtor, because the artist has close friends and family on whom she can rely for assistance.

She also has a very exclusive, majestic, waterfront house in Florida.

Martinez, who also works with the singer's brother Antonio on her real estate holdings, throws some insight on the singer's "home" status in Miami.

The majority of Shakira's family, including her brother, niece, and nephew, are already in Miami.

"She has no relatives in Spain." It's a very different environment than Barcelona."

According to the publication, her pals are attempting to persuade her to visit South Beach, and she has indicated a desire to migrate to Miami.

Shakira bought a home in Spain in 2012.

In Spain, she has been accused with six counts of defrauding the government from 2012 to 2014, and prosecutors are seeking an extra $23.1 million in damages.

Shakira has already repaid the money she owes the Treasury, plus $3.65 million in interest.

The athlete met the popstar after performing in the music video for her song "Waka Waka," which was the official song of the 2010 World Cup.

Pique, on the other hand, has reportedly moved on and is now seeing 23-year-old PR studentClara Chia Marti.

He was also reportedly texting other women privately, including model Suzy Cortez.

Shakira's children have returned to Barcelona with their father and his bachelor pad as their custody fight heats up.

After Shakira brought them to Miami, Los Angeles, and Mexico, a temporary ceasefire awarded him custody for half a month.
