Shakira Asks to Keep Her 2 Kids' Lives Private in the Wake of "Relentless" Media Attention

Shakira and Gerard's first child, a son named Milan, was born Jan. 22, 2013. Milan clearly shares some of his mom's love for music, and seems to even be pursuing songwriting.

"This year, Milan has written songs that have brought me to tears of emotion," Shakira wrote in Spanish on Instagram in May, reflecting on her sons' appearance in her "Acrostico" music video. ". . . Milan and Sasha, it's so nice to see how you spread your wings and follow your dreams! There is nothing that makes me more fulfilled than being your mother."
