Today, as it has become the norm for the last seven months or so, Shakira shared a video of her daily life - this time featuring her partner, football player Gerard Piqué. The Facebook video, captioned "This is what it's like living with a footballer!" was recorded by Piqué, who is playing with a football inside the house. Shakira comes out of the TV room to talk to him and Piqué kicks the ball at her.
At the beginning, Piqué can be heard whispering "Let's see if I get a direct hit." Shakira comes out of the room to tell him her brother Tony had brought food, and then Piqué kicks the ball and it hits her in the chest.
The video has been watched 4.7 million times already, and people in the comments either laugh at the couple's antics, think Piqué is Shakira's third baby, point out how two people with a net worth of over 250 million dollars have phones with shitty cameras or complain about Shakira's absence in music and her new career as a football groupie.

In other news, U.S. District Judge Alvin Hellerstein in Manhattan dismissed the copyright infringement case against Sony/ATV Latin and Sony/ATV Discos over Shakira's hit song "Loca" (ft. El Cata).
In 2012, Dominican artist Ramón Arias Vásquez' recording label, Mayimba Music, sued Sony over the rights of the song, alleging that El Cata (the original singer, with whom Shakira collaborated for her version of "Loca") had copied his song "Loca con su Tíguere".
Although last year Judge Hellerstein had ruled that Shakira and El Cata's songs were a rip off and found Sony liable for distributing them, on Monday Hellerstein said that Sony had presented new evidence that proved the cassette on which Arias had supposedly recorded the song wasn't made in 1998, as he claimed, which invalidaded the copyright.
