Shakira and her boyfriend, Gerard Pique, are blessed with another baby. Shakira gave birth to a baby boy on Jan 30 in Catalonia, and the baby's name is Sasha Pique Mebarak.
"We are happy to announce the birth of Sasha Piqué Mebarak, son of Shakira Mebarak and Gerard Piqué, born January 29 at 9:54pm, in Barcelona," said the singer’s website. “"The name Sasha is of Greek and Russian descent and means 'defender of mankind' and 'warrior.'"
Both mother and child are doing well, assured the website. Shakira gave birth to Sasha in the same hospital where her elder son was born. The hospital in Catalonia was swarmed with reporters since Jan 27 in a bid to catch the glimpse of the expecting celebrity mother.
On Jan 29 evening, Shakira was admitted in the Teknon Clinic. The “Hips Don’t Lie” hit maker gave birth at around 10 pm local time in Barcelona.
The baby’s grandfather, Amador Bernabéu, told Hello Magazine that the baby looks a lot like his father who is a popular Spanish footballer. The couple already has a two-year-old boy named Milan.
The Spanish international defender, Pique, met Shakira when she was filming a video for her song, “Waka Waka,” for the South Africa World Cup in 2010. She previously dated Antonio de la Rua, the son of a former Argentine president, for 11 years.
Pique was also featured in the "Waka Waka” song. In March 2011, Shakira opened up about her relationship with the football sensation via Twitter by posting their picture along with the caption “I present to you my sunshine."
Shakira gave birth to their first child in January 2013. In August last year, the couple announced their second pregnancy. The singer confirmed the news via Twitter as well. "Yes, we are expecting our second baby!! Thank you all for your well wishes!" The two-time Grammy award winner is also declared as the 58th most powerful woman by Forbes in 2014.
