Shakira Confirms She is Expecting Second Child!
by Shannon KeirnanThat beautiful glow isn't just love (and bellydance sweat) - Colombian singer and "Voice" coach Shakira is expecting again!
This will be baby number two for Shakira and her man, Gerard Pique. Little Milan, who was born in January of 2013, already spends much of his time at soccer star Dad's games. Will his new sibling also be a sports fan?
A friend of the singer accidentally spilled the beans originally. Singer Carlos Vives told Fox News Latino, "Yes, she is pregnant and very happy."
The 37-year-old later confirmed to September's Mexican Cosmopolitan, "Yes, I'm pregnant."
On Thursday, she took to her Twitter to let other fans in on the news before the magazine hit stands.
"Yes, we are expecting our second baby!! Thank you all for your well wishes!"
The couple began dating in 2010. They met as Shakira promoted her World Cup anthem "Waka Waka (This TIme for Africa)."
"Seeing me in love is a constant state," she has said of her 27-year-old soccer star beau. "There are no questions as the answer is simply there."
Shakira has been open about her desire for a big family. Is baby #2 just the beginning?
"If it weren't because of my music projects, I would be pregnant already," she gushed in April. "I would love to have eight or nine kids with Gerard - my own futbol team."
She may get her wish! Congratulations to Shakira and Gerard Pique!
