Roc Nation star Shakira gave birth to a baby boy, Milan Piqué Mebarak, yesterday (January 22nd) at 9:36pm. She and her husband, Gerard Piqué, welcomed their bundle of joy into the world shortly after Shakira tweeted that she was about to head into labor.

"I'd like to ask you all to accompany me in your prayers on this very important day of my life. Shak," Shakira tweeted earlier that day.

The couple's first child weighed approximately 6lbs. 6 ounces, and that both mother and child are reportedly resting and came through the experience in excellent health.

Congratulations!
