With a new year just a few short days away, Shakira and fiance Gerard Pique have joyously revealed that they'll be ushering in 2013 as first-time parents!

The 35-year-old Colombian singer's soccer star beau couldn't contain his excitement, as Pique took to Twitter on Thursday (December 27) to let the world know that he and his lady's baby boy had finally arrived.

Of his son's birth, the elated FC Barcelona center-back shared, "Our son has been born! We are very happy! Thank you to everyone for your messages!"

Having confirmed that she was expecting back in September, Shakira started dating Gerard in early 2011 after ending a long term romance with Antonio de la Rua.
