Tennis legend Anna Kournikova, 36, and her long-time partner, singer Enrique Iglesias, welcomed twins—a baby boy named Nicholas and a girl named Lucy—into their family on Saturday in Miami. The couple, who have been together since 2001, are known for keeping their relationship private. Despite longstanding rumors of marriage, Enrique has consistently denied that they have tied the knot.
A Private Love Story
Enrique Iglesias and Anna Kournikova’s relationship has long been shrouded in secrecy. While Enrique referred to Anna as his wife during a concert last year, and she has been seen wearing a gold band on her ring finger, he clarified their status, saying, “We’re just as happy. There comes a point when you’ve been with someone for a certain amount of time that I believe that you are like, married. I guess the only difference is that we haven’t walked down the aisle.”
The couple first met on the set of Enrique’s 2001 hit music video “Escape,” and have maintained a low profile ever since. Their decision to keep their personal lives out of the public eye has fueled speculation, but both have remained tight-lipped about their relationship status.
Enrique’s Family Dynamics and Music Collaborations
In addition to the couple’s personal milestones, Enrique has shared insights into his family dynamics, revealing that his father, Julio Iglesias, has yet to meet Anna. “They still haven’t met, no. They have to meet at some point,” he mentioned earlier this year, highlighting the ongoing private nature of their lives.
On the professional front, Enrique recently collaborated with last year’s X Factor winner, Matt Terry, for a new version of his hit song “Subeme La Radio” (Turn Up The Radio), which also features Sean Paul. Terry, who is fluent in Spanish after living in Spain for eight years, expressed his excitement about working with Enrique, saying, “Enrique asked me to be part of this track, which is amazing.” This collaboration marks yet another successful venture for Enrique, adding to his enduring influence in the music industry.
