Shakira is taking her baby prep to the next level this week by basically inviting the entire world to her baby shower!
But the singer isn’t asking for your usual stroller or set of bibs. The mommy-to-be and her footballer boyfriend, Gerard Piqué, are hosting their second World Baby Shower to fundraise for UNICEF. To participate, people simply have to purchase “Inspired Gifts” online. These items included tools that will assist UNICEF in its outreach, such as polio vaccines, midwifery kits and blankets.
The event, which kicked off on Monday, was the idea of the cute couple. "Now that we are soon welcoming our second child we want to help other children around the world and also contribute to a long-lasting solution for getting children living in extreme poverty the supplies they need to survive," Shakira said in a post on her Facebook page.

"Every woman who's expecting has the power to use the blessing of her child's imminent birth to save the lives of other, less fortunate children around the world. If every expectant mother having a baby shower decided to include among her gift registry some of these 'inspired gifts' that UNICEF offers, we could collectively save the lives of hundreds of thousands of children all over the globe," Shakira added.
The pair marked the occasion by posting a gorgeous photo of Shakira and her husband as they cradled her growing baby bump.
The shower is the followup to the virtual baby shower the couple held in 2013 for the birth of their first son, Milan! And this year’s shower is shaping up to be even a bigger success than the first.
Shakira and Piqué announced that they are expecting their second child together in an interview with Cosmopolitan Mexico last August. The couple first met in 2010 and welcomed their son, Milan, in January 2013.
