Footage showed Shakira with her two sons, Milan and Sasha, as they arrived at the airport ahead of their finalised move to Florida.
As the family walked to their gate they appeared happy and in good spirts as they waved to local snappers who ambushed her final moments in the Catalan city.
Amid scenes of tears and heartfelt hugs from friends and family, Spanish media described it as her “final goodbye” as she embarked on her new life in America.
The move has been long anticipated since the songwriter’s messy split with ex Gerard Pique.
She was supposed to move on January 3 – but the trip was pushed back after her elderly father’s health deteriorated.
But Shakira has revealed the real reason for her family’s relocation.
She wrote on her Twitter: “I settled in Barcelona to give my children stability, the same that we are now looking for in another corner of the world next to family, friends and the sea.
“Today we start a new chapter in the search for our happiness.”
It comes as the music star received a letter telling her to abandon the ex-couple’s former family home from Joan Pique, according to local reports.
However, Pique senior was not the only family member left fuming with her departure.
Pique was also said to be “very annoyed” after he was given just “days notice” that his ex-partner was moving with their two sons.
Pilar Mane, Shakira’s lawyer, told Pique’s lawyer Ramon Tamborero in a formal announcement that the star was leaving definitively.
According to journalists Lorena Vasquez and Laura Fa, the 46-year-old then phoned the former Barcelona player to confirm the news.
But Pique was said to be furious about being kept in the dark about the exact date they would be leaving.

The Spanish journalists claimed the two boys would start school in Florida on April 11 – the day US school kids will return to classes after spring break.
The ex-couple of 11 years have been engaged in a bitter falling out since their high-profile split last summer.
Former Barcelona defender Piqué revealed he was dating 24-year-old Clara Chia Marti not long after they announced the bombshell break up.
Since then, their dirty laundry has been aired globally as cheating rumours concerning Pique and his younger lover have swirled since the new year.
The former couple confirmed in November that they had finally reached a child custody agreement after a protracted negotiation which came to a head with a marathon 12-hour meeting with their lawyers.
They signed the accord at a court in Barcelona the following month.
As part of the agreement, retired footballer Pique will spend holiday time with his children.
Shakira’s wish to move to Miami, where she used to live and part of her family is based, is understood to have been the principal sticking point in their bitter custody battle.
The singer-songwriter, who has relatives and several close friends in Miami, owns a £14 million mansion in the city she is said to have put up for sale in 2018 before removing it from the market a few months ago.
Spanish media also claim that Shakira has been cosying up to a new mystery man who is based in Miami.
