Pop star Shakira is glad that her footballer boyfriend Gerard Pique is "very involved with his son`.

"He is very involved with his son. He is always there for him, and that's a big advantage for me as I cannot imagine it any other way," eonline.com quoted her as saying.

The "Hips don't lie" singer is now expecting her second child with Pique.

At the launch of her new fragrance Rock! Thursday, she said that she will be taking the next year to focus on her new baby and son, Milan.

Shakira's parents had just revealed their daughter's second pregnancy earlier that day to Hola! Magazine saying, "We're very happy...she's having another baby boy-a playmate for Milan."

The couple's first baby was born in January 2013.
