Shakira And Football Star Boyfriend Gerard Pique Are Expecting Another Baby Boy

Colombian pop star Shakira announced just over a week ago that she is pregnant with her second child with Spanish soccer hunk Gerard Pique. This time around, her parents have confirmed that not only is she pregnant but she is expecting another little boy!

The pregnancy was confirmed through an interview with the Spanish version of Cosmopolitan Magazine where Shakira said that she is in fact "embarazada" or pregnant in her native Spanish tongue. Shakira and football star Gerard Pique already have one son, called Milan, who was born in January 2013. Pique is a member of the Spanish national team which won the FIFA World Cup in 2010. It was the same event which also spawned Shakira's worldwide hit song, "Waka Waka (This Time For Africa)" which was the event's main theme song.

Less than two weeks after the news about the pregnancy was broken by Cosmopolitan, the baby's gender has now been revealed thanks to the doting grandparents. Shakira's mom Nidia Ripoll and her dad William Mebarak were interviewed by the Spanish version of Hello! Magazine called Hola!, where they spilled the beans and called Shakira's baby "otro varoncito" or another little boy. They also commented that he will be a playmate for little Milan. Shakira's parents are in Barcelona at the moment to visit their daughter and her family for the summer.

Shakira and her boyfriend Gerard Pique have been doting parents to their first son Milan, whom they have already been pegging to become a footballer like his dad. The couple released photos of the baby wearing the team colour's of Piquet's club team, FC Barcelona. It was not all smooth sailing for the couple however as they once faced a lot of criticism for having been spotted transporting their baby in a vehicle without a proper car seat for infants.

In a previous interview with Latina Magazine, Shakira stated that she wants more kids and even joked that she wants enough to form a football team of her own. She also stated that if it had not been for her work commitments, she would be pregnant already. With this latest pregnancy and the confirmation of yet another boy, the small family is steadily growing at least into a possible basketball team with football's starting eleven still a long way to go.
