Colombian pop singer Shakira, 42, who has been in a relationship with Barcelona football star Gerard Pique, 32, for over a decade, has said that she is happy to be called his girlfriend or lover and has no intention of marrying him.

"I was not a soccer fan when I first met him but I found him cute. And then someone decided to introduce us. Marriage scares the s**t out of me. I do not want to see me as his wife. I would rather want him to see me as his girlfriend, a lover... I want to keep him on his toes. I want him to think that anything's possible, depending on his behaviour," Shakira told US television network CBS News during an interview recently.
