She
may be obliged to cheer on her native Colombia at this summer’s World
Cup, but Shakira has admitted she’ll be supporting world champions Spain
in Brazil, and that she is proud to be a WAG.
The pop superstar, partner of Barcelona
defender Gerard Pique, insists she’ll be Spain’s biggest groupie in
South America as Vicente del Bosque’s side look to retain the World Cup
after their victory in South Africa in 2010.
“I never knew I would be so proud to be a WAG,” she told The Sun. “But I am one of them – and very happy about it
“I go to as many of his games as possible and I wouldn’t miss the World Cup. I’ll be there this year as a groupie.”
The 37-year-old Colombian met the 27-year-old Spaniard Pique a year after the 2010 World Cup success, having made the video for Waka Waka, the official song for the tournament.
And Shakira admits she respects the life
footballers have to live, insisting Pique is like a soldier who gives
all his time and focus to the team.
“I have to live in Barcelona because
Gerard is anchored here. Footballers are like soldiers, he can’t really
travel and go away with me.
“I have an undeniable relationship with
football. I feel part of it. I never thought I would end up dating a
footballer but it’s great.
“There’s something about the mind of a footballer. He has a totally different mindset to me.
“He always thinks about how everything he does will impact on his team. That’s very different to us megalomaniac artists.”
Shakira admitted she has been inspired
to write ‘’many love songs’’ for Pique over the years, but insisted he
‘’deserves a million’’.
Speaking to The Sun on Sunday
newspaper, she said, ‘’I’ve written many love songs for Gerard. But
it’s never enough. I feel that he deserves a million love songs written
for him.’’
Together, the couple welcomed son Milan
into the world in January 2013 and Shakira has admitted Gerard’s career
as a soccer star for Barcelona means they have to be mainly rooted in
the Spanish city.
