Shakira’s baby first photo: Gerard Piqué tweets picture of baby Milan

Footballer Gerard Piqué, Shakira’s boyfriend, tweeted a photo of his newly born son Milan – showing his tiny feet encased in a personalized pair of Nike trainers.

The trendy shoes boasted the baby’s name, Milan, along the side.

“Milan’s feet!” wrote Gerard Piqué.

And while they looked a little big for the newborn, they were certainly cute.

As a professional footballer for FC Barcelona in Spain Gerard Pique is obviously looking forward to introducing his son to the sport.

Colombian singer Shakira, 35, and her 25-year-old boyfriend confirmed the arrival of their little boy on her official website on Tuesday night.

“Just like his father, baby Milan became a member of FC Barcelona at birth,” they wrote.

The announcement stated: “We are happy to announce the birth of Milan Piqué Mebarak, son of Shakira Mebarak and Gerard Piqué, born January 22nd at 9:36 p.m., in Barcelona, Spain.

“The name Milan (pronounced MEE-lahn), means dear, loving and gracious in Slavic; in Ancient Roman, eager and laborious; and in Sanskrit, unification…”

“The hospital confirmed that the couple’s first child weighed approximately 6lbs. 6 ounces, and that both mother and child are in excellent health.”

Shakira took to Twitter just four hours earlier to ask her devotees to pray for her during the birth of her first child, revealing to them that she was about to go into labor.
