Don't expect Shakira and longtime boyfriend Antonio de la Rúa to follow in the engaged footsteps of Katharine McPhee and Nick Cokas. At least not yet.

"We'll get married eventually, or we won't, but we're together and that's what matters," the Colombian pop star said to peopleenespanol.com. "We love each other and we want to stay like that. Why fix something that's not broken?"

Which isn't to say that Shakira doesn't love being in love. Speaking about the emotion, she said:

"It's my primary nourishment. I think that nothing else in life, not even your career or music â€" well, what I'm saying is a bold statement â€" I think that nothing can substitute love as the propelling force of everyone's lives. It's number one on my list of priorities, of course."

Sabrina Bryan and Mark Ballas can relate.
