Shakira And Fiance Antonio de la Rúa Do Rare Interview In Hola

What’s up with Shakira and her 8 year engagement to former Argentinean first son Antonio de la Rúa? And why does she wear her engagement ring on her middle finger? Hola magazine set out to learn! But then did a feel-good piece instead! We’ve got the pics.

Hola followed Shakira and Antonio on two humanitarian trips to Colombia and Bangladesh in a veiled attempt to find out wtf is up with these two. Yadda, yadda. They’re saving the world. But what about the fact that you’ve been engaged for eight years and you don’t even wear your engagement ring on the correct finger? “Oh I wear my ring on my middle finger because it’s too big!” she says of the big, fat diamond set on a white gold band. “I haven’t had time to resize it,” giggle, giggle. In eight years? Mmm hmmm. “We’re very modern,” Shakira tells the magazine. “We live together as man and wife. We don’t need a wedding to make it legitimate.” Didn’t Antonio ever watch Sex and The City? When Carrie wore her engagement ring on a chain? She didn’t marry that guy, either.  Click on the picture of the two “lovebirds” with Barry O. to see a gallery of pics from the article.
