Shakira announced that she and her longtime love, soccer player Gerard Piqué, are expecting their second child on Thursday.

Shakira Confirms Pregnancy On Twitter

Shakira, 37, confirmed the news in an interview with the Spanish edition of Cosmopolitan and then again on Twitter, where she announced her pregnancy with two tweets – one in English, the other in Spanish.

Shakira and Piqué are already parents to 1-year-old, Milan, born in January of 2013.

Shakira has previously expressed her desire to have more children, saying, “I would love to have eight or nine kids with Gerard – my own futbol team.”

Shakira just wrapped up her second season as a coach on NBC’s The Voice, but is taking this season off, which is perhaps for the best considering fellow coach Blake Shelton’s reputation of drinking during filming.
