Shakira and her partner Gerard have been together for over a decade and are still going strong, even though she isn't married to her long-term partner just yet.
Shakira and Gerard Pique first made their relationship public for the first time, in 2011. Since then, the duo has been happy, and even growing their family by welcoming their two boys, Milan, and Sasha.
Shakira hails from Barranquilla, Colombia while her partner was born and raised in Barcelona, Spain. Aside from their roots being from different places, it sure looks like their constant support of each other’s careers is one of the many reasons the two are still going pretty strong.
In an interview with Glamour magazine, Shakira threw light on not wanting to get married, saying, "We already have what’s essential, you know? We have a union, a love for each other, a baby. I think that those aspects of our relationship are already established, and marriage is not going to change them. But if I’m ever going to get married, he’s the one".
Although this celebrity couple is the most-talked-about, they're yet to be married; Shakira appears to be rather anxious about the concept of marriage, which she isn't concerned about considering how much she enjoys being called Gerard's "girlfriend". In her '60 Minutes' interview with her "husband", Shakira revealed that, "Marriage scares the sh** out of me", explaining, "I don’t want him to see me as the wife. I’d rather him see me as his girlfriend".
The season premiere of 'Dancing with Myself' airs on May 31, 2022, at 10 pm ET/PT, on NBC. Viewers in the UK can access episodes of the series the next day on both Sky TV and Now TV, as Peacock has been integrated on both platforms.
