Shakira has said that the balance of power is fairly equal in her relationship with footie ace boyfriend Gerard Pique.
The 37-year-old pop star said that relationships have to have a give and take if they're going to work in the long term.
She had earlier said that Pique doesn't tell her what to do and that they discuss everything as a couple, as she imagines most partners do.
Shakira said that they have a beautiful relationship and one of mutual trust.
The couple has one child together, a son named Milan Pique Mebarak, who was born in January 2013.
