Shakira is raising her
two young sons with Spanish soccer star Gerard Pique to be "modern
men" -- just like their dad.
"Growing
up with a working mom is a start," the 38-year-old singer told Parents
Latina recently.
"I also think their
dad is a good example of a modern man to emulate. Gerard and I pretty much
share all parenting responsibilities, although I'm definitely the
disciplinarian."
The couple are raising
their sons, Milan, 2, and Sasha, 3, in both the U.S. and Pique's native Spain,
but their parenting styles come from their own upbringing.
"Their dad and I both
grew up in very close-knit families, and that has made us openly affectionate
parents," the Colombian singer said.
As hands-on as she is,
Shakira has learned how to delegate.
"Becoming a mom
forced me to re-prioritize and make room for the things that are most
important, while recognizing that there are things I can let go of and the
world won't crumble around me," she said.
Shakira is currently
juggling motherhood with recording her next Spanish-language album. So which is
easier?
"I really enjoy
working on Spanish albums, but I always joke that Milan was easier to give
birth to than my last album [2014's 'Shakira']!" she said. "I apply
the same amount of dedication to being a mom as I do to my music -- I guess you
could say music was my first baby."
