Three years ago, Shakira publicly acknowledged her relationship with Gerard Pique, and the couple recently became parents to their first child in January. In a recent interview with Women’s Health magazine, Shakira shared insights on how she and the Spanish footballer maintain a strong and exciting relationship. The singer also appears on the cover of the magazine’s April issue, exuding confidence in a sultry photo where she sports a pink T-shirt and black underwear, showcasing her fit physique.
In an interview, she expressed that maintaining a passionate relationship requires plenty of laughter and enjoyable moments shared together. She emphasized the importance of having fun together and being compatible. Both individuals must truly desire for the relationship to thrive and endure. She also shared that she is content with her current partner, as they both seem to share the same goals and desires, which she considers crucial.
Shakira, who is 37 years old, doesn’t believe that date nights always have to involve fancy places. She enjoys spending time with her 27-year-old partner on the couch at home. “Lately, we’ve been watching Suits,” she shared. “He’s really into Harvey Specter and has been buying lots of suits. He’s definitely been influenced by the show. As for me, I prefer sitcoms. Life can be so intense, so I like to unwind with some light TV. Give me 22 minutes of laughs, and I’m happy.”
The Colombian singer is known for both her music and her charisma, but she believes that true sexiness comes from within, not from appearances. When asked about her secret to being irresistibly sexy, Shakira laughed off the question, stating that she doesn’t see herself that way. To her, sexiness is about having inner peace and happiness, which radiates outward and is reflected in a genuine smile. She advises that being yourself, staying spontaneous, and not trying too hard is what truly makes someone sexy. Shakira also shared how she regained her stunning figure after giving birth to her son Milan, who is now 13 months old.
“I make an effort to maintain a healthy lifestyle by eating well and staying active,” she explained. “I don’t just stick to the gym though, as I sometimes get tired of the routine workouts that most women dread, like the treadmill.”
The inspiration behind my song “Hips Don’t Lie” came from a moment in the studio when I could feel my body naturally reacting to the music,” Shakira shared. “I have a rule that if my hips start moving, then I know the song is ready to be released. It’s like my body’s way of telling me that the song is a dance hit.”
“I would tell my musicians, ‘my hips don’t lie!’ If they’re not feeling the music, then we know it’s not quite ready yet. And that’s how the idea for the song came about.”
