Shakira's Plans For Motherhood

Yahoo! Music, Aug 8, 2005 5:00 pm PDT
Shakira is releasing two albums this year, the Spanish-language Fijación Oral Volumen 1, which came out in June and the English-language Oral Fixation Volume 2, which is due in November. The Colombian singer-songwriter says she plans to some day issue her most important "super production" in two parts: her children. Shakira told the Latin television program Don Francisco Presenta that she hopes to have two children -- a boy and a girl -- with her boyfriend of five years Antonio De La Rua. But, she says that Antonio sees things differently: "It makes him furious. He would like to have four or five and I tell him: 'not with me.'"

Shakira says that it was love at first sight when she saw Antonio dining four tables away from her at a restaurant. She says that they are great friends, but like all couples sometimes have arguments, adding, "If we didn't argue I'd be worried." Unfortunately the paparazzi always seem to catch them fighting, but she says they never get photographed making up.

Antonio De La Rua is the son of the former president of Argentina, Fernando De La Rua.
