It’s the time of year to exchange and open gifts, and according to Gerard Piqué, he and Shakira are enjoying the best present of all: a new baby boy.
Proud papa Gerard Piqué tweeted about the birth of his son, announcing his birth.
Ya ha nacido nuestro hijo! Estamos muy felices! Gracias a todos por vuestros mensajes!

Gerard Piqué (@3gerardpique) December 28, 2012“Our son is born! We’re very happy! Thank you everyone for your messages!” reads an English translation of the tweet.
But the F.C. Barcelona soccer player also posted a follow-up tweet hours later, sharing the name he and Shakira picked for their new baby: Inocencio – letting the world in on a hilarious, one-of-a-kind prank.
Ya tiene nombre! Se llama Inocencio! Feliz Día de los Inocentes a todos!

By “picking” the name Inocencio and tweeting “Happy Innocent’s Day!” the 25-year-old came clean about the joke to his Twitter followers, which number over 4 million.

It looks like the notoriously private couple pulled a fast one in anticipation of the 35-year-old singer’s real due date. Shakira – who is set to take the judge’s chair in “The Voice” next season – is reportedly due in early January and has been spending her holidays with Piqué in Barcelona, Spain.
