International sensation Shakira celebrates her life’s milestones like many of us — by posting a status update or photo on Facebook for all to see.

The “Hips Don’t Lie” singer announced her pregnancy in a status update in 2012 and shared the first image of the baby via a Facebook photo in 2013. Those intimate moments with her fans have helped her become the most-followed Facebook user.

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg was among the thousands of people who left comments on the video: “Congrats! What an amazing milestone for an amazing person.”

Like on Twitter, musicians are the most-followed people on Facebook. Rihanna, Eminem and Shakira have traded off being in the lead in past years, but Shakira beat them to 100 million.

In another video, Shakira reacted to reaching the 100 million milestone:
