I guess that’s another way of saying Shakira hears the tick-tock of her biological clock 
Shakira is comfortable with the physical changes that can come after having a baby because a baby is worth it.
“My body feels like it is asking to reproduce, to have a huge belly and carry babies,” she tells the new issue of Rolling Stone, on newsstands today. “My boyfriend is six feet tall, and sometimes I feel like I’m his keychain, a small thing.”
Although Shakira is in a monogamous relationship with investment banker Antonio de la Rua (and they’ve been together for the past nine years), the singer has no plans to get married.
“We live in a society that represses women’s subconscious dreams,” Shakira, who considers herself a die-hard feminist, says.
“You know, women have to make enormous efforts through life, much larger than men. We deal with so many pressure: the pressure of aesthetics, and how society wants us to deliver our performances as mothers, daughters and wives.
“It’s funny how the papers want to see you married, and then they want to see you divorced,” she continues. “Well, I won’t do any of it.”
So it sounds like Shakira feels limited by the idea of getting married. Marriage certainly does require compromise! Do you feel it can be limiting in some ways?

Did anyone see her perform on SNL? I could tell her body wanted to reproduce by the way she was dancing. It was actually really odd dancing.
I say good for her.
Says the jaded divorcee?
Agreed, that’s usually how it all ends up. Unless you find a guy that is whipped or is normal and wants to do things equally. Good luck!
Women generally get the shit end of the stick in marriage. Yes it has limitations to your freedom to do what you want because you are going to be the one who does the majority of the housework, the bill paying, the child raising, the projects and homework those children have, the laundry, the cooking, the shopping for all the food and cleaning products you need to run your house. Proven fact time and again – Of course, if you can buy the nanny, pay for a housekeeper, a personal assistant to do that shopping and a cook, well then your husband will no doubt try to tap that eventually. Stay single unless you are prepared to pay the price. There is a lot of weight to that ring.
You are so wrong! I am married,everything at home is taken care 50/50 me and him,money wise,housework,cooking,shopping,so no it doens’t put any limits to my freedom.
Love her.
Well, the hips don’t lie.
Wasn’t her boyfriend’s father some important guy, during the Videla regime in Argentina?
Anyway, she should have kids if she wants them, but if she wants to save the planet…
her boyfriend’s father is an ex-president of Argentina
Wow, she looks really hot there. Wow. Bonerific.
I know, I got one, too.
I don’t care either way.
I suppose it depends on who you are married to. I would rather be single than be married to someone who does not support me or does not feel that I should have my own life or career. Fortunately, that is not the case with my marriage.
she’s so pretty. sounds like she’s ready…i think she will be a great mother.
i don’t think being married is in any way a limitation,limitation to what?to my voting rights,to my rights to work,travel???isn’t feminism about women having equal rights to men?what has marriage have to do with this? Can you not be a femminist and being married at the same time?
You can be feminist and still get married….I think however a lot of women consider the instituation of marriage to be deeply rooted in patriarchy….ie it was a way for a man to essentially “own” a woman and as such is sexist, and so they’re not into that.
Exactly. From 1999 till 2001 (he actually resigned)
