Football has held a very special place in Shakira's heart. Aside from being a part of her childhood. She said, as quoted by Hello Magazine: "I will never forget that I met the love of my life at the World Cup. If it wasn't for the World Cup my son Milan would not be here."

"We already have what's essential, you know? We have a union, a love for each other, and a baby," Shakira said in Glam Belleza Latina's summer issue, recalled E! Online. "I think that those aspects of our relationship are already established, and marriage is not going to change them. But if I'm ever going to get married, he's the one."

Congratulations to the happy couple. Cheers to your growing family!
