"As some of you know, Gerard and I are very happy awaiting the arrival of our first baby!" the Hips Don't Lie singer wrote.

"At this time we have decided to give priority to this unique moment in our lives and postpone all the promotional activities planned over the next few days."

Shakira recently signed on to be a coach on Season 4 of The Voice to replace Christina Aguilera who is currently on screen as a mentor on Season 3. Usher will also replace Cee Lo Green in the line-up shift.
