Shakira says having a child forced her to "slow down" her life

Shakira believes that having a child has made her reorganise her life.

The singer gave birth to her first baby Milan alongside finacé Gerard Piqué in 2013.

Speaking to Ocean Drive magazine, the 'Empire' songstress admitted that having a child has made her refocus some aspects of her life.

She said: "Becoming a mother has forced me to slow down and reorganise my life to find a way to still be devoted to all the things I'm passionate about-music, philanthropy, and motherhood."

Shakira added: "Since my last album, I've entered one of the happiest phases of my life. It was definitely a time of change, of rebirth, of self-discovery, and of course becoming a mother, which turned my world on its heads in the best of ways."

The singer meanwhile pocketed the Social Artist of the Year prize at Thursday's (April 24) Billboard Latin Music Awards.
