Shakira and Gerard have yet to open up about walking down the aisle, but it doesn't mean that the pair isn't committed to each other. The couple has been dating for eight years.

The "She Wolf" singer announced that she was expecting her first child with Gerard in 2012, and they welcomed a son named Milan in January of 2013. Almost exactly two years later, Shakira and Gerard had a second son, named Sasha.

In a sit-down with 60 Minutes correspondent Bill Whitaker in January of 2020, the couple admitted why you likely won't ever see them walking down the aisle. When Bill pointed out that the couple was married in all ways except legally, Shakira was quick to point out that they definitely were not married. 

"To tell you the truth, marriage scares the s--t out of me,” Shakira said in the interview. "I don’t want him to see me as the wife. I’d rather him see my as his girlfriend — his lover, his girlfriend, a little forbidden fruit. I want to keep him on his toes, and to think that anything is possible depending on behavior."

Though they have yet to wed, it's clear that they are committed to family. The family resides full-time in Barcelona, where Gerard plays center back for the FC Barcelona soccer team. The two have a picture-perfect family on social media, and they met at one of the world's biggest sporting stages.
