Shakira Is Desperate To Become A Mother

The 32-year-old beauty – who got engaged in 2001 – also wears her engagement ring on her middle finger as it is too big for her.

The ‘Hips Don’t Lie’ singer is keen to have children with fiancé Antonio de la Rua but says the couple don’t have any plans to get married in the near future.

She said: “The fact is I’m not very traditionalist. We live together as husband and wife, we don’t need anything to make it official, especially not for the paparazzi or magazines. Why fix things that aren’t broken? “But I do want to have lots of babies with him.”

The 32-year-old beauty – who got engaged in 2001 – also wears her engagement ring on her middle finger as it is too big for her.

She added: “This is my engagement ring but it’s too big so I wear it on my middle finger. I haven’t got around to having it made smaller yet.” Shakira also credits Antonio with keeping her down-to-earth.

She told Britain’s Sunday Times Magazine: “I’ve been in the public eye for along time and I don’t know any other way of living – it’s everything I know. My family and my friends remind me what’s real, which helps, and Antonio – he is a wise man. If I get a bit silly he brings me back and reminds me who I am.”

Colombian beauty hits Abu Dhabi

After the last minute confusion of New Year's Eve, many had expected the SHAKIRA concert at Emirates Palace to have been called off.

But no, the snake-hipped singing sensation still strutted her stuff on stage and not even the canceled festivities or dense fog and humidity could dampen the spirits of her loyal fans.

The pint-size singer kicked off the show with some of her signature Spanish songs which, despite the language barrier, went down a storm. But the real magic happened when the sultry star performed her most popular hits including Hips Don't Lie, Underneath Your Clothes and the fans' favourite Whenever Wherever.

Dressed in her trademark cropped waistcoat and sprayed-on trousers the half-Lebanese singer paid homage to her Arab roots and credited her Lebanese grandmother for passing down her dancing genes.

"I'm the fruit of an Arab land, and I'm immensely proud of my Arab heritage.

"I just wanted you to know that and also that I can't think of a better place to spend New Year's Eve," she told the excited crowd before showing off the her hidden talents by serenading them with a solo on the guitar.

The show was the singer's second concert in the region, following her gig at Dubai's Autodrome last year and after an impressive show, we hope she'll be back.
