The two share a son, Wyatt, and both had children from previous relationships — Kurt's a dad to son Boston and Goldie's a mom to actors Kate Hudson and Oliver Hudson — they raised together. "A lasting relationship isn't about marriage," Goldie told Porter magazine. "It's about compatibility and communication. And you both need to want it to work."

Shakira and Spanish soccer star Gerard Piqué got together in 2011 not long after meeting on the set of her music video for "Waka Waka (This Time for Africa)". They welcomed their first child, son Milan, three years later and son Sasha followed in 2015 (both boys are seen here in 2021). Through it all, Shakira has been vocal about there being no need for marriage. "We already have what's essential, you know? We have a union, a love for each other and a baby. I think that those aspects of our relationship are already established, and marriage is not going to change them," Shakira once told Glamour magazine.

The billionaire mogul told Vogue she believes they'd no longer be together if they'd actually wed, explaining, "His interpretation of what it means to be a husband and what it would mean for me to be a wife would have been pretty traditional, and I would not have been able to fit into that." So this is what truly works for them!
