I am so happy for Shakira and Gerard on the birth of their beautiful baby boy Milan. Their son was born yesterday in Barcelona, Spain, with an announcement posted to Shakira’s website:
“We are happy to announce the birth of Milan Piqué Mebarak, son of Shakira Mebarak and Gerard Piqué, born January 22nd at 9:36pm, in Barcelona, Spain. The name Milan (pronounced MEE-lahn), 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 hospital confirmed that the couple’s first child weighed approximately 6lbs. 6 ounces, and that both mother and child are in excellent health.”
The 35-year-old singer and The Voice coach even tweeted to her 19 million followers on the way to the hospital, saying “I’d like to ask you all to accompany me in your prayers on this very important day of my life.”
Congratulations to the happy couple! Xoxo
