2. Shakira and her husband, soccer star Gerard Piqué, have introduced their 2-week-old son Milan to the world, with an adorable photo that will melt your ovaries.
The photo, which shows baby Milan receiving a sweet kiss from his father, is available through Shakira and Gerard’s UNICEF webpage – where they are asking for donations to celebrate the arrival of their son, to help save children’s lives. (We donated before using this picture.)
Milan is the first child of the 35-year-old Columbian singer and her footballer partner, 25. The couple have been together since 2011.
The couple write on the UNICEF website: “We hope that, in his name, other less privileged children in the world can have their basic needs covered through gifts and donations. Thank you for sharing this unforgettable moment with us.”
