Having kids is the new getting your kit off in music - and Shakira has reportedly given birth to a baby boy - if a tweet from her boyfriend Gerard Pique is to be believed.
But wait - the footballer made the announcement on Twitter, but did so on Spain's equivalent of April Fools day, sending showbiz sources into meltdown over whether the 'She Wolf' singer had popped out a new cub.
Gerard Pique told his Twitter followers: "Our son has been born! We are very happy! Thanks for all your messages!" (in Spanish), seemingly announcing the news of the couple's first baby.
Shakira is yet to make an announcement of the birth, and The Mirror reports she was seen at a recording studio just hours before Pique's Tweet. So unless it was a lightning fast delivery, suggestions are that the tweet was a joke.
If Shakira has given birth, she becomes the second superstar to become a new parent this week, after Kings Of Leon star Nathan Followill became a father for the first time on 26 December 2012.
Shakira previously tweeted a photo of herself heavily pregnant with her boyfriend
The 'Hips Don't Lie' star announced the news on her website, and revealed that the pregnancy will impact heavily on her career as she plans to prioritise her pregnancy over her superstar commitments.
"As some of you may know, Gerard and I are very happy awaiting the arrival of our first baby!" Shakira wrote on her website in a personal post."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."
