Weighing in at approximately 6 lbs. 6 ounces, Milan (pronounced MEE-lahn) was born January 22nd at 9:36pm in Barcelona, Spain. Mother and child are said to be in "excellent health."
And if there was any question whether little Milan will root on his superstar soccer-playing dad through the years, the newborn became a member of FC Barcelona at birth.
Earlier today Shakira tweeted about the impending birth, asking fans "to accompany me in your prayers on this very important day of my life."
