Shakira is radiating glamour on the front page of the April 2014 edition of Latina magazine, which will be available in stores starting March 11th.

Here are the insights and thoughts that the 37-year-old performer shared with the magazine:

My son, Milan, has really taught me a valuable lesson in simplifying things. Since he requires so much of my time and attention, I’ve had to learn to be more efficient and direct in approaching my work. It’s been a transformative experience for me.

When talking about her partner Gerard Pique, Shakira mentioned that they share a striking level of similarity. She finds it almost puzzling how they can harmonize so well despite their similar personalities. They have a strong compatibility, sharing the same desires, interests, and dislikes. Their passion and need for passion also align perfectly, making their relationship thrive.

When discussing her latest album, she reminisced about the time she first met her manager. He confidently declared, “We’ll have this album done in two months.” She couldn’t help but chuckle and replied, “You don’t know me, Jay. This will definitely take two years,” It turns out, she was right on the money.
