“I want to reproduce,” said the singer and activist, whose Barefoot Foundation helps fund schools in Colombia. “I’m semi-married. I used to believe I had to be married to have kids…The culture kind of gives us tunnel vision. But we function as a married couple; we don’t need papers for that.”
After being with Piqué for a few years, in 2014 she said that she still didn’t think marriage was “a necessary step in a couple’s life.”
“We already have what’s essential, you know?” she told Glam Belleza Latina. “We have a union, a love for each other, and a baby. I think that those aspects of our relationship are already established, and marriage is not going to change them. But if I’m ever going to get married, he’s the one.” (In that vein, she has referred to herself and Piqué as being “sort of married.”)
In the course of the legal wrangling down the road, it came out that she and de la Rúa had signed a prenuptial-type agreement for unmarried couples that, according to Shakira’s attorneys when they successfully moved to have de la Rúa’s lawsuits dismissed, “expressly manifested their wish to conserve, each separately, the totality of their past, current and future assets.”
