Shakira has kept relatively quiet about her second pregnancy, but she opened up about her personal life—and her current focus—in a recent interview.

"Now that I'm pregnant I'm trying, for the first time in my life, to not do so many things at the same time," the singer explained to Spain's Europa Press.

"Although, it's always difficult and issues get in the way even when you don't want them to. But the majority of the time I do dedicate myself to taking care of my belly, my pregnancy, [and] of Milan."

The expectant crooner also admitted that while she's focusing on her family life, she's got some exciting projects coming up in the future that she's thrilled to work on.

"Next year, I think after the baby is born, I'll start producing my new album. A Spanish album, which is what has me most excited right now."

But aside from another album, Shaki says she still wants to continue to grow her soon-to-be family of four.

"With Gerard [Piqué] I'd have 20 children but I don't think I'll have the luxury to do it. For now we're going for the second one, we'll see what happens. We'll see if one day we get a girl. We'll see!"

Meanwhile, the blond beauty was seen dressed in her best tennis attire while visiting a medical facility in Barcelona.

She kept covered up in a white cap and a hot pink T-shirt, which showed her small baby bump underneath.

But despite the pink clothing, the singer's mother recently shared that her daughter is expecting another baby boy.

Spanish outlet Hola reported that Nidia Ripoll spilled the beans on her grandchild's gender while running errands near her home in Spain.

"Es otro varoncito," she confessed. Translated, Ripoll's statement in English means, "It's another baby boy."
