Shakira considers herself lucky enough to already have everything she needs to raise her children with boyfriend Gerard Pique. So when it came time to fete the singer in honor of her impending new arrival, the expectant couple decided to throw a World Baby Shower in support of poverty-stricken mothers and children around the world.
“Now that we are soon welcoming our second child, we want to help other children around the world and also contribute to a long-lasting solution for getting children living in extreme poverty the supplies they need to survive,” Shakira explained. “We also want other parents to feel compelled to do the same. With the explosion of social media, celebrities aren’t the only ones who have platforms that can reach mass audiences, and we want this movement to keep going long after our baby shower has ended, so we want to invite them to host their own baby showers with UNICEF as well.”
Shakira and Pique are already parents to son Milan, 2.
