"We have signed a custody agreement," they said in a joint statement provided to Fox News Digital. "Our sole objective is to provide our children with the utmost security and protection and hope that they can continue with their lives in a safe and calm environment."
They added, "We appreciate that their privacy will be respected."

"A very important sacrifice has been made: Gerard has finally agreed to allow his children to live in the U.S. for their well-being, a primary reason and one that was always in the first place," said Piqué's lawyer, Ramón Tamborero. "A judicial decision would only have brought pain. In reality, no one has won here except the children."

Tamborero added, "It has been very, very difficult to get here. As you know, we have been negotiating, fighting, battling for five months to draw up a 20-page agreement that both parties could sign."
Part of the agreement stipulated that the two children will be with their father during three vacation periods throughout the school year, including "Thanksgiving, Winter or Christmas and March/April (coinciding with Easter)."
