"As some of you may know, Gerard and I are very happy awaiting the arrival of our first baby!"Shakira announced on her website that she and boyfriend Gerard Pique are expecting their first child:
This is the first child for the 25-year-old Barcelona star centerback and the 35-year-old musician, who have been dating for over two years.
Shakira's announcement comes on the heels of Pique's injury in Barcelona's 3-2 win over Spartak Moscow in the Champion's League. Pique will be out two to three weeks, which is no small absence, considering the defender has been the most used field player in Barcelona's first six matches this year.
