Shakira rocks head-to-toe sportswear as she takes a last minute Christmas shopping trip with her partner Gerard Piqué

Shakira and her partner Gerard Piqué are gearing up to spend Christmas as a family.

The 42-year-old singer and the Spanish footballer were seen visiting the Bal Harbour Mall in Miami, Florida on Monday, picking up some last minute presents for their loved ones.

The Colombian superstar – who raises children Milan, six and Sasha, four, with the 32-year-old sports star – was dressed down in sportswear and a basketball jersey.

Shakira wore a zip up jacket knotted around her waist and competed her look with baggy ripped jeans and trainers.

The stunning star coiffed her long hair in a straight style and added a slick of burgundy lipstick.

Barcelona centre-back Gerard was chatting on the phone as he strolled along, going hand in hand with his wife.

The Whenever, Wherever hit-maker admitted last month that she feared losing her voice for good when she suffered a haemorrhage to her vocal cords in late 2017.

She told The Guardian: ‘I never thought that my voice would leave me, because it’s so inherent to my nature.

‘It was my identity. So when I couldn’t sing, that was unbearable. There were times I couldn’t even get out of bed – I was so depressed.’

Shakira admits she has never fallen out with her husband as much as when she stopped talking, in order to save her voice.

She said: ‘He felt like one of those ex-convicts who are given their freedom and don’t know what to do with it. I was not positive.

‘I was so pessimistic. I was a bitter person to be around. Gerard saw the worst of me.’

While doctors said she needed surgery, she wasn’t convinced it would work so she tried hypnosis and meditation and even went to Lourdes to get holy water in a bid to heal herself.

Her voice miraculously returned without the need of an operation and she is incredibly grateful.
