Gerard Piqué’s Parents Gush About Shakira

By Michael Lopez

It looks like Shakira has "officially" been embraced by her boyfriend's padres. Gerard Piqué's mom and dad happily posed with Shaki during a recent a press event and seemed more than eager to accept her as part of their family.

"We love you as much as we love Gerard," Piqué's dad Joan told her in front of the paparazzi cameras.

In case you're wondering why the Piqué family made such a public appearance, it's because Joan is actually a celebrated author. His new book, Two Lives, was just released in Spain and the entire family (including Shaki) stood beside him on the first stop of his promotional tour.

Two Lives is actually a stirring fiction novel, which Joan hopes to publish internationally. The proud dad made a point to thank his soccer-playing son for inspiration during the writing process. And perhaps if Lives ever makes it to the big screen, he can thank Gerard's galpal for a soundtrack contribution.

Do you think Shakira would make a good daughter-in-law? Sound off in the comments or @MTV3.
