Pop singer Shakira has confirmed she is pregnant.
The Colombian beauty revealed she is carrying her soccer player partner Gerard Piqué child, following weeks of speculation.
Speaking
in the upcoming Mexican issue of Cosmopolitan magazine – out in
September – the 37-year-old revealed: “Yes, I’m pregnant.”
Shakira and Gerard will hopefully be doing this again soon
During the interview Shakira also gushed that her
relationship with 27-year-old Gerard is perfect and they couldn’t be
more in love.
The She Wolf singer – who has been in a relationship with the sportsman since 2010 – said: “Seeing me in love is a constant state, there are no questions as the answer is simply there.”
Shakira
and Gerard already have 19-month-old son Milan together and are
overjoyed about the prospect of becoming parents again later this year.
They met four years ago when Pique appeared in the music video for Shakira’s hit song Waka Waka (This Time for Africa).
Rumours first started when she appeared at the World Cup
Colombian singer Carlos Vives – a close friend of Shakira –
let their happy news slip during an interview on Fox News Latino in
July, saying: “Yes, she is pregnant and she’s very happy.”
Shakira, however, had remained silent on the pregnancy until now.
Rumours
first surfaced after she toned down her trademark bellydancing during
her performance at the World Cup closing ceremony in Brazil two weeks
ago.
Last time we saw Shakira, she was kicking off the closing
ceremony of the 2014 Brazil World Cup in all kinds of hot, sexy and
raunchy ways.
The Colombian singer
stripped down into a bright red stringy outfit, which we suppose was
supposed to be a dress, and showed off her incredible figure as she took
to the stage in front of the thunderous crowd.
Gerard Pique’s
missus performed her La La La (Brazil 2014) song alongside Brazilian
percussionist and singer Carlinhos Brown, and had plenty of backing
dancers in full tribal gear to make it possibly the most colourful
performance we’ve ever seen.
Of course, what would a Shakira
performance be without plenty of twerking, and sexy dance moves? Well,
she threw them all in there.
It’s hard to remember this is a football event.
But possibly the best part of all was when the star carried
her adorable son Milan on stage – there’s something he’ll remember
forever (we hope).
The star was almost as excited as us before the
event, and tweeted: “Just TWO HOURS until the #WorldCup Closing
Ceremony, feat Shak performing La La La (Brazil 2014)! ShakHQ.”
And
she followed it shortly after with a montage of her best snaps, and
added: “That was so much fun! ¡Increíble! ShakHQ #WorldCup
#ClosingCeremony.”
She’s a bit of a natural at all this, because
four years ago she sang Waka Waka in South Africa, and four years before
that she performed Hips Don’t Lie in Germany.
