SurprisingDecember 7, 2025

Shakira rarely slows down, but “Zootopia 2” handed the Colombian superstar something even better than another chart moment: time with her kids. The November 13, 2025, premiere became a personal celebration, one that showed how tight this trio really is. The “Waka Waka” hitmaker arrived with Milan and Sasha not just as guests, but as fellow cast members.

Shakira confirmed that her sons recorded their roles during the same sessions she used for Gazelle, making the job a family memory.

The Colombian pop icon could not hide the pride in her voice as she talked about their performances.

Shakira, 48, smiled while explaining how naturally the boys stepped up to the microphone. The “La La La” singer joked about how much she adores them, then praised their comfort and quick confidence in the booth.

Inside the Recording Booth

During the sessions, the recording booth turned into a lively family corner. The Grammy-winning artist said her boys walked in with playful energy that made the work feel light. They picked up their characters with almost no hesitation, which kept the sessions smooth for everyone. Their spontaneous style helped shape scenes that felt real, fresh, and full of personality.

Milan and Sasha voice Judy Hopps’ younger brothers, two spirited kids from Bunnyburrow. When asked if they wanted to keep acting, they answered with fast, excited yeses. Their eagerness showed how much they enjoyed stepping into a creative world they usually only get to watch on screen. It also gave the “Hips Don’t Lie” singer a rare chance to see her kids shine in her own line of work.

The boys followed the theme with sharp suits, bow ties, and white sneakers that added a bright, youthful touch. All three outfits were designed by Stella McCartney, giving the group a unified style that matched their closeness.

Cameras picked up every grin and small exchange between the global superstar and her sons. Nothing about their interaction felt rehearsed—their comfort with one another came through immediately. Fans had already watched the boys cheer her on at major moments, including the 2025 Grammys, but this outing carried a different warmth. They weren’t just showing up for her; they were celebrating something they built side by side.

A Full Circle Moment for the Superstar

“Zootopia 2” is slated for release on November 26, 2025, nearly ten years after the first movie lit up the box office. Fans expect the same lively tone and bold characters, and the Colombian star returning as Gazelle adds a familiar thread. What’s new this time is the family element: the “Whenever Wherever” performer is joined by her two sons, making the sequel feel less like a job and more like a keepsake.

That shift makes this project feel personal, almost like a time capsule that shows how far her family has come.

The boys also got their first look at how a major studio production works. The Colombian superstar guided them through the responsibility, while still giving them the freedom to play and explore. That balance built their confidence and helped them deliver performances that felt genuine.
