After showing off her baby bump on Jan. 16th singer, Shakira has launched her virtual baby shower with finance Barcelona centre-back Gerard Pique.
Shakira launched her online baby shower Jan. 15th and asked fans to honour their child by supporting UNICEF in giving underprivileged babies around the world a healthy start in life. The singer is a Goodwill Ambassador to UNICEF and has helped children in obtaining better educations.
In a statement on Twitter Shakira and Pique wrote "Dear Friends, Having our first baby is such an incredibly happy time for us. That's why we want to invite you to our baby shower... with a twist. Rather than asking you to give gifts to our new baby, we're asking you to honour him by supporting UNICEF in giving underprivileged babies around the globe a healthy start in life. It would really mean a lot to us."
The couple also added that "You can choose an Inspired Gift from our registry - to give the gift of immunizations so more babies grow up healthy and disease free, rehydration salts to save children's lives and therapeutic food so babies will get enough to eat," and "Every expectant parent around the world shares all the same hopes and dreams for their children that we do. Yet, many don't share the same opportunities. Together, we know that we can change that."
The couple recently announced that their child will be born in February and unveiled more pictures of Shakira's bump. Shakira and Pique met in 2010 during the video shoot of her song "Waka Waka" and announced they were dating in 2011 via twitter.
