Shakira : Wants to settle down


First honest hips, now honest lips: She Wolf-songstress Shakira tells Fabulous magazine she wasn't always so confident. According to the U.K. media outlet, in 2001 the Colombian native began therapy to combat her self-esteem issues.

"It's helped me so much with every aspect of my life, from body image to relationships," she told Fabulous.

Shakira also chatted about love, marriage, and kids.
The Hips Don’t Lie hitmaker — who has been engaged to beau Antonio De La Rua for over four years — says she sees marriage as a “contract” — which she doesn’t find romantic.

“Our relationship is very romantic and I want to be his eternal girlfriend,” she said.

“The idea of wearing a white dress is very romantic, but the real point of marriage is a contract and that is not romantic to me. I also didn’t want to be under constant pressure to name a day. Then, after the marriage, the only thing people want to know is when the divorce will be.

“I told him: ‘Let’s never get married.’ It makes everything so much easier. He is very much like me and he understood what I was saying and now we feel very free and happy.”

However, the 33-year-old star is keen to start a family.

“Do I have any plans for children? Little wolves? Yeah, of course,” she recently said. “I’d really like to have kids, but first I need to go on tour and release this new album – and then we can sit down and talk about it.”
