BOGOTA, Columbia --

Colombian pop star Shakira says after her latest album is born she plans to undertake a new labor: multiple children.

The 32-year-old Grammy winner known for her seductive dance moves says that she plans to focus on a family after October, which is when her as-yet-unnamed album is to be released.

Shakira spoke with the El Tiempo newspaper at her home in the Bahamas, where she says she goes barefoot all day. The newspaper published the interview on Thursday.

Shakira says she wants two kids, while boyfriend Antonio de la Rua would like three.

For now, Shakira’s baby is her new single, “Loba” — Spanish for “She-Wolf,” which she released this week.

The album is her first in four years since “Oral Fixation.”
