Shakira Shares First Photo of Newborn Son Sasha
By Robert Kessler for Yahoo Celebrity
Here he is: Sasha Piqué Mebarak. Shakira shared this photo of the adorable little nugget Thursday, just one week after his birth. Sasha is the second child for Shakira, 38, and professional soccer player Gerard Piqué, 28. Hopefully he's inherited his father's feet of steel and his mother's hips of honesty.
On Wednesday, Shakira shared a photo of Sasha's foot, joking that he had "Daddy's feet." But this is the first photo we've seen of little Sasha's face.
Shakira showed off the picture to promote her partnership with UNICEF called World Baby Shower. People can either donate gifts, such as vaccines, medicine, and food, to help children in impoverished areas, or they can host a baby shower of their own, where rather than accepting gifts of their own, friends and family give to those in need. Shakira has served as a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador since 2010.

Shakira and Piqué have been dating since 2010, when they met on the set of her music video for "Waka Waka (This Time for Africa)," the official song of the 2010 World Cup. They have an older son, Milan, who was born in January 2013. Both children arrived in Piqué's native Barcelona, Spain.

Shakira introduced Milan to the world in a similar way, first unveiling a picture of his tiny, little baby shoes, then sharing an adorable photo of father and son. After Milan's birth, too, Shakira asked that fans make donations in his name to UNICEF.
"Everything is different," Shakira said last year, of motherhood. "Maybe the biggest change is that I think about the future more, what the world will be like for him when he grows up. But when it comes to living, it's all about the present.
I'm finally able to really savor all of those little moments that, in the early days of my career, I was too busy thinking about the next thing to just stop, take it all in, and enjoy."
