Shakira Pregnant 2014: Singer Is Reportedly Expecting Her Second Child With Gerard Pique
Shakira and her boyfriend Gerard Pique are reportedly expecting a second child.
According to a new report, the singer and her boyfriend are over the moon with excitement after learning they would soon be giving their 19-month-old son, Milan, a sibling.
"Yes she is pregnant and very happy," a friend of Shakira's confirmed to Noticias Caracol, via a July 28 report by Life & Style. The same site also stated that Shakira was three months pregnant and taking "a lot of precautions" to ensure a healthy pregnancy.
After meeting on the set of Shakira's music video for 2010's "Waka Waka (This Time For Africa)," the "Hips Don't Lie" singer and her soccer star partner began dating. However, they didn't confirm their relationship until March of the following year. Then, in Sept. 2012, Shakira announced to fans that she and Pique were expecting their first child together. On Jan. 22, 2013, Shakira revealed to fans that she had given birth to son Milan Pique Mebarack in Barcelona, Spain, where her family resides.
Earlier this year, Shakira expressed her interest in having more kids with Pique.
"If it weren't because of my music projects, I would be pregnant already," she said in the April 2014 issue of Latina Magazine, via NY Daily News. "I would love to have eight or nine kids with Gerard -- my own futbol team."
She also gushed about her man.
"He's with me because he wants to be with Shakira the person, not the celebrity," she explained. "There's real love, there's no ulterior motives. And I'm with him because he's the most amazing man I've ever met."
