“In a Small Church With Few People” – Years Before Dating Gerard Pique, Shakira Expressed Desire to Marry Argentina’s Ex-President’s Son

Everyone is aware that Shakira prefers living life on her own terms. While she was dating Gerard Pique, the Colombian singer never wanted to talk about marriage at all. She once revealed that marriage scares her. Nobody understood why Shakira was so hesitant on tying the knot with the soccer veteran. However, rolling back the years, there was a time when the Waka–Waka singer was interested in the sacrament of marriage.

About two decades ago, a young Shakira was dating Antonio de la Rua. At that time, she gave an interview during which she speaks about her interest in marriage.

Shakira was more than happy to tie the knot in 2003!

Antonio de la Rua and Shakira met each other in January 2000. He was working on an election campaign with his father, Fernando de la Rua. At the same time, the Colombian singer was also in Buenos Aires to promote her album. The two of the met each and seemingly fell in love with other at first sight.

Three years later, the Latin American singer told the media about her interest in marriage. She said, “We would like to get married at some point, but we do not have a fixed date. I would like to get married in a place where there is a lot of privacy, in a small church with few people”, as transcribed by Hola and translated by Google Translate.

The media’s attention was constantly on both of them. That was simply because Fernando de la Rua was the President of Argentina. After squashing her pregnancy rumors, she also said, “I am fascinated by children, I see a baby and I melt”.
