2 hours, 41 minutes ago SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic - Shakira and the son of an ex-president of Argentina have talked about marriage but are waiting for now, her potential father-in-law was quoted as saying Thursday in a Dominican newspaper. Former President Fernando de la Rua told Listin Diario that the hip-shaking international superstar and his son, Antonio, have talked about marriage and raising a family but have no immediate plans to tie the knot.
"They prefer to wait," de la Rua said.
"Kids today would rather live as a couple, they don't believe that marriage is necessary to be happy."
Shakira and the president's son have been dating for five years.
De la Rua, in the Caribbean country for a conference, called his son's girlfriend "a lover of peace" concerned for those less fortunate than her.
"Shakira is a very good woman, she is very loving to her parents and with her in-laws as well," he added.
The Colombian singer is on tour with her most recent release, "Oral Fixation," with plans to play in Guatemala, , Nicaragua, Panama, Peru, Venezuela, Puerto Rico and her native Colombia in coming weeks.
