Colombian pop star Shakira confirmed Wednesday that she is pregnant with top Spanish football player Gerard Pique‘s baby, their first.
Stories speculating that the singer, who famously rollerbladed around a beach in a bikini top for her music video “Loca,” would soon become a mother have been gone viral in Latin American media for weeks.
“As some of you may know, Gerard and I are very happy awaiting the arrival of our first baby!” Shakira said in a statement on her website.
“At this time, we have decided to give priority to this unique moment in our lives and postpone all the promotional activities planned over the next few days.”
The Grammy award-winning diva did not indicate when the baby is due to be born.
The “Whenever, Wherever” and “Hips Don’t Lie” singer said she would not participate in the iHeartRadio Music Festival on Friday and Saturday in Las Vegas.
“But I‘m sure this weekend in Las Vegas will be spectacular and I will be closely following everything that happens there!” she added.
“I’d like to thank Clear Channel and my fans for their constant love and understanding. Big kiss! And will see you very soon!”
This will be the first child for Shakira, 35, and Pique, 25, who confirmed their relationship in March 2011.
Pique, a center-back for FC Barcelona, will be out for two to three weeks after hurting his left foot in his side‘s 3-2 win at home to Spartak Moscow in the Champions League, the club announced earlier.
His Twitter page featured a graphic of a pacifier, with a link to Shakira’s message.
In a bid to quell the pregnancy rumors, the belly-dancing singer‘s father, William Mebarak, himself spoke out in June to deny the “absolutely false” claims. (AFP)

인기 女가수 '속도위반'으로 임신 인정
콜롬비아 출신 팝 스타 샤키라(35)가 지난 수요일 자신의 연인인 스페인 축구선수 헤라르드 피케(25)의 아이를 임신했다고 공식 발표했다.
이미 지난 몇 주간 남미지역의 언론에서는 뮤직비디오 ‘로카(Loca)’의 촬영을 위해 비키니 차림으로 해변에 자주 등장한 샤키라의 모습을 근거로 그녀가 임신했다는 설이 널리 알려졌었다.
샤키라는 본인의 홈페이지를 통해 현재 연인인 헤라르드의 아이를 임신 중이며, 아이를 위해 향후 프로모션 행사들을 연기할 것이라고 알렸다.
스페인 프로축구 리그 FC바르셀로나에서 중앙수비수로 활약중인 헤라르드 피케는 현재 스파르타크모스크바와의 챔피언스리그 경기 도중 입은 왼발 부상으로 인해 앞으로 2-3주간 경기에 나서지 않을 예정이다.
그는 연인인 샤키라의 메시지를 트위터에 링크하며 임신 사실을 인정했다.
한편 이전부터 계속되어 온 임신 루머에 대응해 샤키라의 아버지인 윌리엄 메바라크는 이러한 임신 루머가 “완전한 엉터리다”라고 지난 6월 말한 바 있다. (코리아헤럴드)
