Shakira, Gerard and baby Milan leave the hospital

Pop star Shakira and her soccer player boyfriend Gerard Pique are spending their first night at home with new baby boy Milan after the trio were released from a Barcelona hospital on Sunday, reports the Huffington Post.

The Colombian pop singer gave birth to Milan via C-section on January 22 at Teknon Hospital. 

Photographers were camped out outside the hospital hoping to snap a photo of the new bundle but had to leave empty handed.

The press did snag a shot of Shakira and Gerard in the backseat of a car with huge smiles on their faces but Milan was nowhere to be seen. 

Gerard sent out the first photo of baby Milan's feet from his Twitter account the day after he was born. 

The Daily Mail newspaper reports that the new parents will stay with family in a luxury apartment owned by Piqué while the soccer star returns to work with Barcelona Football Club.
