London: Latin sensation Shakira is not planning to walk down the isle anytime soon as she finds the idea of being a girlfriend “eternally romantic” but she is desperate to start a family with her lawyer boyfriend. The 32-year-old singer, who has been engaged to Antonio de la Rua, 36, for the last four years, fears that her biological clock is ticking fast, Femalefirst reported. “I`m dying to have a baby. We both are. I`d like two and Antonio would like three. So probably after my next album, which comes out next year.
“I don`t think it could be sooner because in 2010 I`ll be touring as well. In fact, my biological clock is already ticking and I don`t know how to describe it. It`s just becoming a physical need now,” the `Hips Don`t Lie` hitmaker said.
However, the couple is happy to have a steady relationship and has no plans to take the big step anytime soon.
“I think it`s more romantic to be that eternal girlfriend. We`re happy the way things are. Our relationship is strong and steady,” she said.
The `She Wolf` star met Antonio nine years ago in a restaurant in Argentina and knew straight away he was `The One`.
“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.”
