Shakira and Gerard Pique have welcomed their second baby boy at 9.54PM on January 29 in Barcelona, Spain.
The baby boy, born by caesarean section, is called Sasha, Gerard Pique’s proud grandfather has confirmed. Amador Bernabéu told reporters that he had seen a photo of the baby, who supposedly looks like Gerard.
“He’s called Sasha which is Alexander in Russian,” said Amador Bernabéu.
“They’ve told me he looks like Gerard. Milan [the couple’s first son] looked like Shakira when he was born but this one looks more like his father.”
Amador Bernabéu hasn’t had a chance to see his new great-grandson because of a pressing engagement on Thursday. At midday he had an appointment to make Sasha a member of Barcelona FC, where Gerard Pique plays, just as he did for Milan.
Shakira revealed on her website that “the name Sasha is of Greek and Russian descent and means <<defender of mankind>> and <<warrior>>.”
The brief statement also revealed that “both mother and child are in excellent health”.
Sasha was born two years after Milan made his debut in the very same hospital.
Milan turned 2 on January 22 and his parents both have their birthday on February 2, when Shakira will be 38, while her partner will be 28.
Expectation had been high in Catalonia with reporters camped outside the city’s Teknon Clinic as early as January 27. However, the couple kept up their normal routine, with Gerard Pique training as usual and even travelling to Madrid for a match on January 28.
On Thursday evening, Shakira and Gerard Pique slipped quietly into hospital by a side door, followed shortly afterwards by the singer’s brother.
Shakira and Gerard Pique asked followers to donate money to UNICEF, an idea they had when expecting Milan. Their first Virtual Baby Shower in 2013 was a huge success: over 80,000 children were vaccinated against polio, nearly 4 tons of therapeutic food helped children suffering from malnutrition, plus around 1,000 anti-malaria bed nets and nearly 200,000 oral rehydration salts sachets were distributed.
UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador Shakira was hoping fans would be just as generous this time around.

“If it wasn’t for the World Cup, my son Milan would not be here,” Shakira recently told the AP before performing her new 2014 World Cup single La La La (Brazil 2014) at the final game on July 13.
Shakira has been very open about her desire to have a big family, telling Latina magazine in April: “If it weren’t because of my music projects, I would be pregnant already. I would love to have eight or nine kids with Gerard – my own football team.”

Shakira and Gerard Piqué have released several portraits of the pregnant singer to celebrate the impending arrival of their first child.
Dressed in just a bikini top and skirt, Gerard Piqué also whipped off his shirt in one of the intimate photos which shows their closeness as they prepare for the birth of their son.
The images which were taken by Jaume Laiguana were uploaded to the internet as the couple have decided to team up with UNICEF to host a virtual baby shower.
Shakira, 35, is following in the footsteps of celebrities such as Demi Moore and Britney Spears, who have posed nude during the latter stages of their pregnancies.
However, rather than posing on a magazine cover, the Colombian born singer decided to share the candid photo on her Twitter page.
Using the social networking site to its full potential, the couple are welcoming fans and family into their interactive living room where they can purchase Inspired Gifts.
Presents such as mosquito nets, polio vaccines and baby-weighing scale can all be bought on the site with each item set to be distributed to children and communities in some of the poorest corners of the globe.
On entering the online baby shower, visitors are greeted with a personal message from Shakira and Gerard Piqué, the clip begins: “As you all know, we will soon be welcoming our first child into the world, and to celebrate his birth we’ve organised a virtual baby shower in association with UNICEF.
“In lieu of receiving gifts for our baby as with a traditional shower we would like to offer support for babies who live in conditions of extreme poverty throughout the world.”

Taking over from Gerard Piqué, Sharika continues: “Thanks to all of you, they will receive in the form of inspired gifts therapeutic food packages, vaccines, and rehydration salts which will help save the lives of hundred of thousands of babies throughout the world.
“We’d like to thank you in advance, and we are very very happy to know that we can count on your support.”
As an UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador Sharika explained why she had chosen to give share her baby shower with the world.
She said: “Every expectant parent around the world shares all the same hopes and dreams for their children that we do.
“Yet many don’t share the same opportunities. Together we know we can change that.”
While the due date hasn’t been revealed to the public, the couple who live in Barcelona will soon share their new home on which building work was recently completed, with a bouncing baby.
Shakira and the FC Barcelona player met in the spring of 2010 when he appeared in the music video for her world cup song Waka Waka (This Time for Africa).
She officially confirmed their relationship on 29 March 2011 via Twitter and Facebook posting a picture of the two with a caption reading: “I present to you my sunshine.”
Gerard Piqué who is a centre-back for FC Barcelona, the city’s illustrious team caused panic by falsely announcing the arrival of their child on December 27.
The sportsman made the false announcement to dupe fans for Dia de los Inocentes, the Spanish equivalent of April Fools Day.
Shakira, who is to be judge on the next series of The Voice, is in her final stages.
Earlier this week Shakira stepped out in Barcelona, Spain, to celebrate the launch of father William Mebarak’s new book Al Viento Y Al Azar (At Wind And At Random).
She has spoken about how she used to watch her father write his stories on a typewriter and asked for one as a Christmas gift.
And by the age of four had already written her first poem, La Rosa De Cristal (The Crystal Rose).
Shakira’s footballer boyfriend Gerard Piqué has confused fans over whether or not they have actually become parents with a series of tweets.
It appeared Gerard Piqué was announcing the birth of their son on his Twitter page in the early hours of Friday morning.
However, many suspect his announcement is simply a joke for Dia de los Innocentes (Day of the Holy Innocents) – Spain’s equivalent of April Fool’s Day.
Writing in Spanish in the early hours of Friday, he said: “Our son has been born! We are very happy! Thanks to all for your messages!”
However, later on Thursday, Gerard Piqué, 25, wrote: “It has a name! His name is Innocent! Happy Holy Innocents Day to all!”
Shakira, 35, herself did not confirm the news, fuelling speculation that her baby is still in utero.

Only days before Christmas, Shakira was pictured looking heavily pregnant shopping for gifts in Barcelona.
Shakira is thought to have been due to give birth early next month.
This is the first child for Shakira, who emerged on the Colombian and Latin America music scene in the 1990s before making it big among the English-speaking crowd in the U.S. and Europe in the early Noughties.
Shakira announced the pregnancy in mid-September on her blog.
Shakira recently announced she is expecting her first child together with Gerard Pique and now she has done another first.
Shakira, 35, who is around six-months pregnant, shared a picture of herself that shows off her baby bump for the very first time.
She looks positively radiant in the image that shows her in a lovely purple dress that cannot hide her growing bump.
The Colombian star posted the picture on Facebook on Saturday afternoon and added the caption: “Now I don’t have a six pack, only one pack!!”
Almost instantly after sharing the intimate photograph fans inundated her with well wishes and congratulations.
The picture received almost 50,000 comments and had near 400,000 people saying they liked it.

Shakira announced last month that she was five months pregnant with her first child.
She wrote on her Facebook page: “As some of you may know, Gerard and I are very happy awaiting the arrival of our first baby!
“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.”
Her baby joy comes nearly two years after she started dating Gerard Pique.
The handsome couple met in 2010 while shooting the video to her song Waka Waka (This Time for Africa).
The song was the official track of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, which was won by Spain.
Earlier this year, Shakira and Gerard Pique made the all-important decision to live together and recently purchased a large home in Esplugues de Llobregat, Barcelona.
Her romance with Gerard Pique comes after she was in an 11-year relationship with Argentine lawyer Antonio de la Rua.
Coincidentally, Antonio de la Rua has also revealed this month he is set to become a father for the first time.
His girlfriend, former Miss Colombia Daniela Ramos, 24, is four months pregnant with his child.
