Shakira dishes on her baby boy

WEST HOLLYWOOD, California (AP) —Shakira is learning how to balance her demanding work schedule with being a new mom one day at a time.

 â€œIt’s part of motherhood you know,” she said of juggling personal and professional life. “You got to figure it out as you go.”

The 36-year-old singer and her soccer star boyfriend Gerard Pique welcomed their first child, Milan Pique Mebarak, on Jan. 22.

“He’s great. He’s so mellow, but he’s very alert too,” she said in an interview recently at House of Blues in West Hollywood, California. “It’s like he knows what’s going on around him. He knows when someone comes in the room or comes out. He’s something.”

Shakira joined fellow The Voice coaches, Adam Levine, Blake Shelton and Usher, at a red carpet event celebrating the NBC singing competition’s Top 12 finalists.
