Shakira is setting the record straight about a previous comment she made about her boyfriend Gerard Piqué.

The Colombian singer took to Facebook on Thursday to clarify describing her longtime love as "very territorial" during an interview with Billboard.

"I was being humorous and now I see that some press took it very literally!" the 37-year-old explained. "The reality is that we have a beautiful relationship of mutual trust, and jealousy has never been an issue on either side."

The blond beauty concluded: "Next time I promise, I'll be more careful when attempting to use my sense of humor, as clearly it can be easily misinterpreted!"

The Voice mentor and mom to 1-year-old son Milan told the magazine last month that the Spanish soccer player doesn't exactly like the idea of his lady appearing on camera with the opposite sex.

"It's more than implied in our relationship that I can't do videos like I used to," Shakira said. "It's out of the question—which I like, by the way. I like that he protects his turf and he values me, in a way that the only person he would ever let graze my thigh would be Rihanna."

Shakira opened up to E! News last month about their relationship and that she also has rules for Piqué.

"It's two sides, you know," she explained. "He can't do stuff with models either!"
