Shakira made the announcement today that she is pregnant! Will this affect her new job on The Voice?

Shakira told her fans on her website: ‘As some of you may know, Gerard and I are very happy awaiting the arrival of our first baby!

‘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.

The singer was expected to perform in Las Vegas, but had now cancelled her appearance.

‘This means I will not be able to be a part of the iHeartRadio Music Festival, but I’m sure this weekend in Las Vegas will be spectacular and I will be closely following everything that happens there!’ she went on to say in the statement.

‘I’d like to thank my fans for their constant love and understanding.

‘Big kiss! And will see you very soon!

Shakira.’

Shakira will join Usher as replacements for Christina Aguilera and Cee Lo Green for season 4 of The Voice which will tape immediately after season 3 wraps up.

There is no confirmation as to how far along Shakira is but we’ll find out in the next little while whether this replacement “Coach” gets replaced.
