Shakira and her ex Gerard Piqué opted to sit separately as they both attended son Milan's baseball game in Valencia on Thursday.
The couple announce their split in July after 12 years of marriage and cheating allegations soon began to swirl in the Spanish tabloids.
While the pair are reportedly trying to remain friends for the sake of their sons Milan, nine, and Sasha, seven, the duo kept their distance as they attended the sporting event.
Shakira, 45, looked effortlessly stylish for the outing as she donned a distressed denim jacket that she paired with a plain white T-shirt and a bucket hat.
Pique, 35, opted a team T-shirt from their son's baseball club that he layered over a long sleeved white top, but kept a low profile in a baseball cap and shades.

The outing came after it emerged that Shakira seems to be settling scores with her ex via her music after the Spanish footballer was allegedly unfaithful.
She first appeared to include a jab at Piqué in her single Te Felicito (I Congratulate You).
A key line in the song is translated as, 'To make you whole / I broke myself in pieces / I was warned, but I didn't take heed / Don't tell me you're sorry / I know you well and I know you're lying.'
In an interview with Elle Magazine, the hitmaker was asked about the line and it's apparent connection to her marital issues.

'Is that the feeling that you had that you kind of had to give a part of yourself during that relationship, which perhaps was hard to get back?' she was asked by Lulu Garcia-Navarro.
'I can only say that either consciously or subconsciously, everything I feel, everything I go through is reflected in the lyrics I write, in the videos I make,' Shakira responded. 'When the glove fits, it fits. Like I said before, my music is that channel.'
Shakira's song and the accompanying video featured the Puerto Rican singer Rauw Alejandro, who is currently dating Rosalía.
In the video, he appears to play both a romantic interest to Shakira, as well as a robotic clone of the same person, which Shakira tinkers away at until it comes to life.
It comes as Shakira and Pique continue to try to hash out an agreement on their separation, with the pair recently being spotted outside of a law firm's offices.
Plenty on her mind: As well as dealing with her looming divorce, Shakira's legal woes include an impending trial on charges of tax fraud
As well as dealing with her looming divorce, Shakira's legal woes include an impending trial on charges of tax fraud.
Spanish prosecutors accused the entertainer in 2018 of failing to pay 14.5 million euros ($13.9 million) in taxes on income earned between 2012 and 2014. Prosecutors are seeking an eight-year prison sentence and a hefty fine if she is found guilty of tax evasion.
Shakira has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing and rejected a deal with authorities to avoid going to trial. Her public relations firm has said that she has already paid all that she owed and an additional 3 million euros ($2.8 million) in interest.
The court based in the town of Esplugues de Llobregat near Barcelona said that Shakira will face six counts of tax fraud. The date for the trial has yet to be set.

Meanwhile, Hips Don't Lie singer Shakira spoke for the first time about her unexpected split from Pique in a new interview for Elle Magazine's October issue.
However, she opted to not stay mum about his new relationship with a much younger woman.
The singer was candid about how difficult life has been as her relationship with the athlete has fallen apart, accompanied by an in-depth interview with Lulu Garcia–Navarro.
Shakira made her first public comments on the split as she said: 'Oh, this is really hard to talk about personally, especially as this is the first time I’ve ever addressed this situation in an interview.
'I’ve remained
