These Photos of Shakira and Gerard Piqué's Kids Will Brighten Your Day

From Oprah Magazine

Shakira and Gerard Piqué have been together for almost 10 years and although they rarely talk about their relationship, the two do love sharing photos of their kids, Milan, 6, and Sasha, 4.

The 42-year-old singer—who is scheduled to perform the half-time show with Jennifer Lopez at the upcoming 2020 Super Bowl LIV—and the 32-year-old soccer player welcomed their first son, Milan Piqué Mebarak, on January 22, 2013. "The name Milan (pronounced MEE-lahn), means dear, loving and gracious in Slavic; in Ancient Roman, eager and laborious; and in Sanskrit, unification," Shakira said after his birth, according to a statement.

One year later, Shakira announced she was pregnant with their second child. On January 29, 2015, the family of three became a foursome with the addition of another son named Sasha Piqué Mebarak. "The name Sasha is of Greek and Russian descent and means 'defender of mankind' and 'warrior," she wrote on Instagram.

After welcoming Sasha, Shakira spoke candidly about life as a mother of two.

"It's shifted the axis of my universe. Everything is centered around them now. It's a new dimension of love, at least for me, that's indescribable," she told PopSugar in 2016. "It's also helped me be more disciplined overall about sticking to a schedule now, because you're forced to prioritize. Before I was my own boss, but I have two tiny bosses to answer to now."

In honor of Shakira and Pique's precious family, check out some of the best pictures they've shared of their kids so far.
