Shakira clarifies 'territorial boyfriend' comments: 'I was only joking'

During a recent interview with Billboard, 'Hips Don't Lie' beauty Shakira admitted that her boyfriend, footballer Gerard Piqué, is quite protective and won't let her shoot sexy videos with male co-stars anymore. 

She has now taken to her official Twitter page to explain to the world that she was only joking when she made those comments and that there is never any tension between them in reality:

"Hey guys - I recently said in some interviews that my man could be territorial. For the record, I was being humorous and now I see that some press took it very literally!"

She continued: "The reality is that we have a beautiful relationship of mutual trust, and jealousy has never been an issue on either side. Next time I promise, I'll be more careful when attempting to use my sense of humour, as clearly it can be easily misinterpreted!"

Back in March, Shakira joked to E! that she has stopped Piqué from doing photo shoots with female models because it's only fair to impose the rule on both sides: "I have rules, too. It's two sides, you know. He can't do stuff with models either!"
