The 42-years-old Colombia singer has been in a relationship with former Spain international over a decade and both celebrities are yet to exchange marital vows despite sharing two kids, Milan and Sasha together.
Shakira said in a recent interview that they were not married because ‘Marriage scares her and she does not want to be seen as the wife.’
“To tell you the truth marriage scares the sh–t out of me. I don’t want him to see me as the wife
“I want him to see me as the lover, the girlfriend. I want to keep him on his toes. I want him to think that anything’s possible depending on behavior,” she said.

In fact e, Atimes I wish that I was born a white so that I can just have my babies without anyone judging me.
ReplyDeleteI swear!
DeleteMarriage is hard, and African men are full of shit.
Anon 10:24 learn not to generalise.
DeleteWill the judges cushion your life for you. Listening to what people say sometimes is a curse to keep you back in life.
DeleteIt is very very hard, many women are better off being a babymama, but this part of the world, the way they will judge you ehn....
DeleteYou can do whatever you want if you are:
Delete1. Thick skinned.
2. Have your money.
3. Not in the public eye.
Abi na
DeleteSeriously...marriage is hard work!
DeleteMost of them are live-in lovers,so I'm not surprised
ReplyDeleteI get her point.
ReplyDeleteIt's quite difficult to live a marriage when your partner misbehaves.
*Leave
DeleteIt is better for her. If she marries, na divorce the next 3 or 6 months
ReplyDeleteIf Angelina and Pitt had stayed as lovers not horseband and wife, they would not have divorced.
Many are like that and they are waxing stronger. Oyibo people reason well
Just admit he hasn't proposed and that's why.🚶♂️
ReplyDeleteNot everyone is crazy about marriage
DeleteAll that Nigerian and African in you must make it really hard for you to see it.
DeleteI don't think so. Many westerners cohabitate and raise families.
DeleteAnonymous 9:39 , It’s doesn’t work like that for a lot of people.
Deletethank you. which one be all this story she dey talk say she still wants to be seen as the sexy girlfriend. u can do all that in marriage and still have ur respect and value as a woman plus all the financial legal perks of being married. don't be fooled! if she has second thoughts about the guy then why is she staying popping out children for him?> abegi
Deletetypical African mentality that thinks all women must be crazy for marriage. it will shock you that in this Nigeria some women dont want kids or marriage but will rather die in silence than face the mouth of family and world people. they will so take you for deliverance and give your name to all the pastors and imams in this world...lol..while i respect them for their choices as a christian i do not think its by force to marry or have kids just that you need grace and special anointing to stay celibate. as God demands that sex should only be in the confines of marriage..
DeletePeople will come under this comment and start menstruating now. We have heard you oooh not all women want marriage, okay.
Delete@baby oku. From her comment you can tell she wants it but is scared and feels if he marries her see finish will happen. So her reason is different from the ones you stated.
Delete09:39 thank you!!! You've said it all. Some westerners can lie!!!!
Delete11:09 Say the truth. Do you even know who Shakira is?
DeleteIf he wants marriage and you refused based on this your reason he would leave So he also doesn't want it either.
ReplyDeleteAnd they are happier for it. How you doing?
DeleteHow you doing too babes? *in wendy William 's voice*
Deletedifferent strokes for different folks..she's scared of all wifey duties except pounding weh don ma
ReplyDelete😆@ weh don ma
DeleteShe doesn't even need to carry out wifely duties like that. After all, they live together so what else would she do as a wife that she isn't doing at the moment. I think the legal aspect is what she is avoiding.
DeleteShakura is worth $300 million while Pique is worth $40 million. She’s probably protecting her fortune by not getting married. If they divorce she may lose a big chunk of her money.
DeleteShakira, gets it!!!!
ReplyDeleteShe so gets it.
DeleteLol,even if they marry ,abroad favours the white,they walk way anytime they like.
ReplyDeleteHer choice though.
Congrats to her. at least she has her two kids and a long term relationship. If they had married, I'm pretty certain they would havr been divorced by now.
ReplyDeleteWho can marry should marry. Those who can't shouldn't kill themselves.
Sometimes, it's the contents that matters not the label
ReplyDeleteWe plenty wey reason like her & with her, we plenty wey wish say , it for be like that.
ReplyDeleteI got some friends(Africans,) like that. They got kids & everybody got their base. The guy has his own house, the girl her own house. They live in both houses interchangeably. They are happy like that. They cherish their space, but hv utmost respect and love for each other.
Mind you the girl is not a hungry girl. She got her sh*t together. Infact both are professionals with good source of income.
Good for her,some people are stuck in unhappiness in the name of marriage.
ReplyDeleteBetween i want to start tasting the waters.😉
BTW= by the way. Uwc!
DeleteHow do you mean Bbjack? Hmmmmmmmmm 😏
DeleteBV Bbjac, hope you are separated before tasting the waters because that would be adultery.
Deletedifferent strokes for Different People..
ReplyDeleteThis one and Jennifer Lopez are Word and opposite. If I hear say j.lo is scared. I think she should embrace life, overcome her fears and marry. If divorce happens she moves on, one again. But refusing to marry out of fear is sabotaging What if they turn out alright? She never knows and if they don't then it wasn't meant to be.
ReplyDeleteI think she saying marriage is not really her thing is one of the best decisions she can make because once they get married, it’s as if something will keep pushing them until they divorce. But if they are just cohabiting, they know that anything goes and they are not tied down in any way. I think it’s more psychological than any other thing. Take Oprah Winfrey and her partner for example and also Angelina and Brad Pitt.
DeleteI agree with her. She's been married before and it was a toxic marriage. She knows what she's talking about.
ReplyDeleteDon't say what you don't know missAmusa shakira and Anthonio de Le rua were never married they only dated for a long time. Haba stop misleading people.
Deletebla bla bla. All this one na wash. u don't want him seeing you as the wife meaning what abeg. Aunty talk true the man never propose and not all this story to mislead impressionable youths.. wives have more legal rights and benefits, it's not just about the title. if that man dies now she has no legal right to any of his property or estate. if they break up all she has to show for it is the children. that man is just milking the cow for free, no need buying.
ReplyDeleteWell Shakira may not need the money but i pity women who do and are following her advice. stop hustling backwards, ladies and stop settling for any thing just to have a man! Anyone who insults me is an imbecile and any insult automatically goes back to you not me
At the end, it's all about money and taking over property. There's more to being a wife than that. Stop making the average Nigerian woman seem like a gold digger.
DeleteHian! "Following her advice" ke? Did we read the same thing? Na wa for world people o, you say a they read ab
DeleteAunty/Uncle/Brother/Sister she did not advice anyone she only said what she felt for herself!
Anon 11:07 what planet are you from? There's something called "will" you know?
DeleteAnything that rocks her boat
ReplyDeleteShe's rich, has her own money and career, not dependent on her beau.
ReplyDeleteCan't say the same for some of our Naija sisters who are looking at marriage as poverty elevation program.
If you're a christian, this viewpoint shouldn't be your own. Whether you're rich or poor, God's standard is marriage before you're supposed to have sex. Make sure the person you marry is on the same page with you morally, mentally and spiritually and you'll be fine.
ReplyDeleteNotice i said "christian", not "churchgoer", "atheist" or other religions.
Thank you. But if you talk now They will say African mentality.
DeleteShe is just being smart. She is richer than him and when divorce knocks, she has a lot to lose, right? Won't she be ask you pay alimony. Please someone explain.
ReplyDeleteShakira stop yodeling! What's the difference? you are already carrying out the wifey duties the other day I saw how you was dragging the kids why pique was walking freely smiling for paparazzi so what's the difference? Girl bye! Just say he hasn't proposed because he is scared of commitment I know his type.
ReplyDeleteJust say he hasn't proposed nobody will kill you Spanish women can linger around a man till he is ready they are meek and weak like some African women. You that have been doing more than the duties of a wife? Shakira that even put her career on hold because of her "man"? Shior
ReplyDeleteThe actors Diane Kruger and Joshua Jackson used to say they didn't want marriage and kids. This went on for 10 years. Within 2 years of them breaking up, Diane has already had a child, and is engaged (possibly secretly married) to a different guy. Joshua has also gone on to marry Jodie Foster-Turner, and she is pregnant! Joshua and Jodie even got married within months of dating!
ReplyDeleteSame thing with Cassie. She would act like she didn't want a husband and kids because Diddy didn't want. They broke up in 2018, and by the end of 2019, she is someone's wife and mother!
Lol... we understand their defence mechanism
