Shakira,
35, is a first-time mom to a baby boy. The arrival of the bundle of joy
was confirmed by her 25-year-old boyfriend, center back of FC Barcelona
Gerard Pique, on Twitter and Facebook Thursday night, December 27.
"Ya ha nacido nuestro hijo! Estamos muy felices! Gracias a todos por
vuestros mensajes!" the proud baby daddy tweeted in Spanish. The English
translation is "Our son [is] already born! We are very happy! Thank you
all for your messages!"
Shakira revealed her pregnancy last September when announcing the
cancellation of a Las Vegas gig, and later revealed the gender of the
baby. "I could have another 9 months like this!" she once posted a
picture of her cuddling with Gerard and showing off her baby bump.
The new mom will be quite busy next year. She will fill in the vacant spot left by Christina Aguilera in the Spring cycle of "The Voice"
and is also expected to release a new album. "The album will be
released after the baby is born because she'd need to go on tour and she
can't do that now," Gerard once said.
Before dating Gerard, Shakira was in a longtime relationship with
Antonio de la Rua. They split in 2011 after 11 years together, but
continued their professional relationship as a business partner. Their
partnership was broken when they sued each other earlier this year.
