Shakira & BF Gerard Pique Purchase Barcelona Home Worth $5.4M
Shakira and Gerard Pique have bought a Barcelona home worth $5.4 million.
According to Fox News Latino, the Colombian pop songstress and the FC Barcelona star have been searching for a bigger place of residence in the Catalan city for quite some time now. The home the couple purchased is near FC Barcelona's Camp Nou.
Spanish newspaper Sport reported that Shakira, 38, and Pique, 28, previously put a bid on the house for $11.9 million, only to be rejected. The property once again came on the market recently and the couple did not waste a time in purchasing the home, Fox News Latino wrote. Since then, renovations have been conducted in the house.
The property sits on Avenida de Pearson, a 12-minue drive north of Barcelona's popular stadium, the news outlet noted. Trees surround the house which can give privacy to the couple and their two young sons: Milan, 2, and Sasha, who was born in January of this year.
Shakira and Piqué first met in spring 2010 when he made an appearance in the singer's music video for "Waka Waka (This Time for Africa)," Express reported. Last year, the singer opened up about having more children with Pique.
"I would love to have eight or nine kids with Gerard -- my own fútbol team," the recording artist said, as quoted by E! Online.
When you have a baby, when you feel his love, you feel so at peace with the world. You just want to share the good news," Shakira said in another interview, as reported by Express.
Earlier this month, Shakira and Pique, along with their children, was spotted at a Barcelona airport on their way to a family vacation via a private jet. According to Daily Mail, the family of four was accompanied by two nannies and two male assistants in their trip.
Shakira's Secret to Sexy Post-Baby Bod
Delivering two baby boys is not an easy feat. Going back into shape after pregnancy isn't a walk in the park either. Shakira, in an effort to return to her gorgeous curves, adopted a diet and fitness routine once her youngest son was born, a separate report from E! News noted.
Anna Kaiser, creator of the AKT inMotion method, provided a fitness routine to Shakira that made the singer bounce back to her slim figure in just eight weeks, the news outlet reported.
Sessions were done twice -- or sometimes once -- a week which lasts between 60 to 90 minutes or twice a day. The routines included a "dance-based interval workout that alternates between strength and cardio intervals with yoga and stretching in between," E! News wrote.
