Shakira is probably one of the few celebrities who are as real as they get. The mother of one and “The Voice” coach sat down with Glamour magazine for the February 2014 issue, speaking of a number of issues ranging from her duet with Rihanna, her philanthropy, her man, and being too skinny. She was asked if she had gotten any grief from Latin fans about her becoming a blonde or being too thin, after Shakira surprised many with her transformation for her English crossover back in the early 2000’s. She replied, “At the beginning. But my man, Gerard, prefers meat over bone.”
She was referring to her boyfriend Gerard Piqué, the Spanish soccer star who’s also the father of Shakira’s son, Milán, born Jan. 22, 2013. “He doesn’t like too skinny. [Laughs.] That takes pressure off,” she continued. “I already have a lot to worry about.” And no wonder, since Shakira started 2014 with a bang. Not only is she back on “The Voice,” but she’s also giving the finishing touches to her new album, shooting music videos, opening a new school in Colombia, part of her Fundación Pies Descalzos, and most importantly, being a devoted girlfriend and mother.
“This month I’m not exercising because I have an album to finish and I have a baby. And I like these pastries in front of me,” she added. And we totally understand her. However, we’re still trying to figure out how she manages to look great despite claiming not exercising at all and indulging in pastries, because judging by her cover shot and the spread, she looks unbelievably amazing! We can’t wait to see more Shakira this year, and to get our hands in her new album!
