Shakira Welcomes Baby Number Two After C-Section
Shakira has given birth to her second child with footballer husband Gerard Pique.
The Colombian pop star, 37, took to Twitter to announce the news to fans and point them towards a message on her personal website.
It reads: "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.
"The name Sasha is of Greek and Russian descent and means 'defender of mankind' and 'warrior'.
"The hospital confirmed that both mother and child are in excellent health."
She is reported by The Sun to have hired an entire floor of the Hospital Quiron Teknon in Barcelona and to have had a Caesarean section carried out by the same doctor who delivered her first child Milan two years ago.
Pique, 27, was playing for Barcelona against Atletico Madrid on Wednesday night - but made it to the hospital within 24 hours for Sasha's birth.
