The "Beautiful Liar" singer is certain her fiance Antonio de la Rua – the son of Argentina's former president Fernando de La Rua - is the "right person" to start a family with, and is planning to start trying for a baby as soon as possible.
The 32-year-old star said: "I constantly think about raising a family. I want to reproduce so bad!"
"Antonio and I have been together for nine years and function as a married couple even though we're not married."
"I don't think you find the right person in your life more than once."
"I don't even think about how famous he is. We look at each other as a man and a woman and that's it."
"We try to live a normal life and I keep my family close to me so I still feel like a real person."
Shakira also reflected on "Beautiful Liar" - her "thrilling" 2007 collaboration with Beyonce Knowles.
She added to Britain's Look magazine: "It was fantastic to work with her. She's an amazing performer and very sweet."
"The song was her idea and I was so thrilled. She's a very determined and focused woman and that's something to admire."
