"Shakira and Gerard Piqu\u00C3\u00A9 have posted a semi-naked photo on Twitter to promote a UNICEF charity appeal. The couple - who are currently expecting their first child together - have launched a &amp;#039;virtual baby shower&amp;#039; in order to raise money for the children&amp;#039;s charity.  The photos were taken in December by Jaume Laiguana, and are featured in the interactive social media project. UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador Shakira and Barcelona FC defender Piqu\u00C3\u00A9 have invited fans to join the online shower to support vulnerable babies worldwide. &amp;quot;To celebrate the arrival of our first child, we hope that, in his name, other less privileged children in the world can have their basic needs covered through gifts and donations,&amp;quot; the pair said. &amp;quot;Thank you for sharing this unforgettable moment with us.&amp;quot;  The interactive baby shower allows fans to look inside their virtual living room, where users can learn about child survival issues and purchase an &amp;#039;Inspired Gift&amp;#039; that can help raise money for the campaign. &amp;quot;Every expectant parent around the world shares all the same hopes and dreams for their children that we do,&amp;quot; Shakira added. &amp;quot;Yet many don&amp;#039;t share the same opportunities. Together we know we can change that.&amp;quot; After purchasing a gift, users will receive a thank-you message from the couple. Shakira confirmed that she was expecting a baby boy back in October.
