Shakira is singing a happy tune!
The Colombian songstress and her boyfriend, professional soccer player Gerard Pique, welcomed a baby boy on Tuesday, according to Shakira’s personal website.
'We are happy to announce the birth of Milan, son of Shakira Mebarak and Gerard Piqué, born January 22nd at 9:36pm, in Barcelona, Spain,” the statement read. 'The name Milan (pronounced MEE-lahn), means dear, loving and gracious in Slavic; in Ancient Roman, eager and laborious; and in Sanskrit, unification. '
And though he’s just hours old and currently only weighs 6 pounds, 6 ounces, it sounds like the little guy will be following in the footsteps of his dad … or that’s what his parents are hoping, at least: “Just like his father, baby Milan became a member of FC Barcelona at birth,” the note continued.
Shakira had given her more than 19 million Twitter followers a hint that her bundle of joy was on the way earlier on Tuesday, writing, 'I'd like to ask you all to accompany me in your prayers on this very important day of my life. Shak'
Just last week, Shakira, 35, and her 25-year-old baby daddy announced they were throwing a “virtual baby shower” to support UNICEF and while they said they would 'soon be welcoming” their first child, they didn’t specify when. The couple – who confirmed their relationship for the first time almost two years ago – reportedly had scheduled the birth so that Pique could make sure he was the.
Colombian pop star Shakira and Barcelona defender Gerard Pique on Wednesday announced the birth of their son Milan.
'We are pleased to announce the birth of Milan Pique Mebarak, son of Shakira Mebarak and Gerard Pique, on January 22 at 9:36 pm (2036 GMT), in Barcelona, Spain,' the pair said on Twitter.
They said Milan 'means dear, loving and gracious in Slavic; in Ancient Roman, eager and laborious; and in Sanskrit, unification. Just like his father, baby Milan became a member of FC Barcelona at birth'.
The baby weighed in at almost three kilograms (6.6 pounds) and both Shakira and Milan 'are in excellent health', the singer and the football star said in their statement.
In Bogota, Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos sent his congratulations to the couple 'on behalf of Colombia and my family' via Twitter.
Pique irked much the world's media late last month by announcing his girlfriend had given birth -- but then revealing it was a prank.
The announcement had also been made on Twitter. 'Our boy has already been born! We are very happy! Thank you all for your messages!' he said.
But the message came on the 'Day of the Innocents' when people in Spain play practical jokes on each other.
Later Pique seemed to be letting fans know it was a joke in a second message: 'He already has a name! He is called Innocent! Happy Day of the Innocents to all!'

Since early Tuesday morning, numerous reporters and photographers had remained on alert outside the clinic, given recent rumours that this would be the day the child would be born.
On Tuesday morning, before the birth, Shakira had tweeted, 'I'd like to ask you all to accompany me in your prayers on this very important day of my life.'
The baby was delivered by previously-scheduled Caesarean by a medical team headed by Dr. Carlota Garcia-Valdecasa.
