The Hips don't Lie singer, 35, has confirmed
she and Spanish soccer star Gerard Pique, who is 10 years her junior, are
expecting a baby together.
She has also revealed that she has decided to
cut down on her work schedule over the coming weeks.
Expecting: Colombian singer Shakira announced that she is
expecting her first child with Spanish footballer Gerard Pique, on Wednesday
Writing on her website, Shakira told her fans:
'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.'
The singer was expected to perform at the
iHeartRadio Music Festival at the MGM
Grand Hotel and Casino this weekend in Las Vegas, but had now cancelled her
appearance.
Hiding the baby bump? Shakira was most recently spotted in
Italy on September 7, and she wore a baggy T-shirt to go furniture
shopping
'This means I will not be able to be a part of
the iHeartRadio Music Festival, but I'm sure this weekend in Las Vegas will be
spectacular and I will be closely following everything that happens there!' she
went on to say in the statement.
'I'd like to thank Clear Channel and my fans
for their constant love and understanding.
'Big kiss! And will see you very soon!
Shakira.'
Shakira has been dating Gerard for around two years although
she only confirmed their relationship last year by posting a picture of the pair
on twitter and Facebook with a caption reading, 'I present to you my sunshine'
in Spanish.
