Shakira has given birth to her second son.
The 37-year old singer welcomed her second son with boyfriend, Gerard Piqué into the world at a hospital in Barcelona last night, Thursday, January 29, 2015 where she underwent a scheduled Caesarean section.
The news was confirmed in a statement from the couple shortly before midnight and another statement is expected later today, Friday, January 30, 2015 to reveal the baby’s name.
The ‘Waka Waka (This Time for Africa)’ hitmaker and her 27-year old beau reserved an entire floor of the Hospital Quirón Teknon in the Spanish city for the birth of the new baby, delivered by the same doctor and at the same location as their first son, 2-year old Milan.
Gerard turned out for his club, FC Barcelona in Madrid on Wednesday night, January 28, 2015, roughly 24 hours before the birth of his second baby and his team ran out 3-2 winners over Atletico Madrid.
The couple are expected to continue a family tradition and make their latest arrival an associate member of FC Barcelona.
The musician began dating the sportsman in 2010 and previously spoke about the joy which she gets from being a mother, saying: ‘motherhood is everything to me’ as well as praising her partner’s hands-on parenting style.
She said: ‘He is very involved with his son. He is always there for him, and that’s a big advantage for me as I cannot imagine it any other way.’
