Shakira doesn't want to get married even though she's engaged.

The Hips Don't Lie singer says she has no intention of tying the knot with fiance Antonio De La Rua, despite saying yes when he popped the question over four years ago.


Her lips don't lie: Shakira has no plans to tie the knot

She said: "I have no plans to get married. Ever.

"There's something romantic about being someone's girlfriend forever. I like the state that I'm in."

Although she has no plans to marry, the 33-year-old beauty says she and Antonio are keen to start a family together.

She told the News of the World newspaper: "I definitely plan to have children but I don't see a wedding dress."

Shakira, who met Antonio nine years ago in a restaurant in Argentina, has recently admitted she knew straight away he was 'The One'.

She said: "The minute I walked in, I saw him sitting, and I thought, 'That man is for me, he's the man of my life.' I kept staring at him until I got to meet him that night. And then I just followed my intuition and everything worked out. Frankly, meeting him that night was like winning the lottery."
