Shakira "ready" for baby

Shakira is "ready" for a baby.

The Columbian singer would "love" to have children with her boyfriend of nine years Antonio de la Rua, but still thinks she is too young to get married.

"Yes, I'd love to have kids," the 32-year-old star said. "But I'm much too young to get married!"

Shakira recently claimed she is desperate to "reproduce" because she's certain Antonio is the "right person" to start a family with.

"I constantly think about raising a family," she said. "I want to reproduce so bad! Antonio and I have been together for nine years and function as a married couple even though we're not married.

"I don't think you find the right person in your life more than once. We look at each other as a man and a woman and that's it. We try to live a normal life and I keep my family close."
