Pop star Shakira says she would love to have "eight or nine" kids with her partner Gerard Pique, but her plans to have a second child are on hold for the time being.

The 37-year-old blonde beauty already has a 15-month-old son Milan with Gerard, who is Spanish football player, reported Contactmusic. "If it weren't because of my music projects, I would be pregnant already.

I would love to have eight or nine kids with Gerard--my own soccer team," Shakira said. However, despite the singer's busy schedule, she insists her son Milan will always be on the top of her priority list.

"Since he arrived I don't have much time--I have to rush back home--so he has helped me learn how to focus," she said.

"When you have a baby, when you feel his love, you feel so at peace with the world. You just want to share the good news and share how happy you feel," she added.
