Shakira once wanted 20 children with Gerard Pique

Shakira gave an interview in 2014 and spoke on various aspects of the pregnancy. She was pregnant during the interview. The Hips Don’t Lie singer said, “Now that I’m pregnant, I’m trying, for the first time in my life, to not do so many things at the same time. Although it’s always difficult and issues get in the way even when you don’t want them to, but the majority of the time I do dedicate myself to taking care of my belly, my pregnancy, and Milan.”

“With Gerard, I’d have 20 children, but I don’t think I’ll have the luxury to do it. For now, we’re going for the second one. We’ll see what happens. We’ll see if one day we get a girl. We’ll see,” Shakira further added.
