Enrique Iglesias and Anna Kournikova quickly fell for each other, establishing themselves as one of Hollywood’s most private yet strong couples. They first crossed paths in December 2001 during the filming of Iglesias’ “Escape” music video. Iglesias expressed his admiration for Kournikova on MTV’s Making the Video, praising her beauty and talent. By August 2002, they publicly confirmed their relationship.
The couple welcomed twins Nicholas and Lucy in December 2017 and a daughter named Mary in January 2020. Both have shared their views on marriage; Kournikova stated in a November 2011 Women’s Health cover story that marriage wasn’t crucial for her. Iglesias echoed this sentiment in a March 2012 Parade interview, emphasizing the importance of being good parents over having a marriage certificate.
They made their red carpet debut at the MTV Video Music Awards in August 2002. Kournikova occasionally shares pictures of their children on social media, maintaining their preference for privacy. The couple celebrated significant milestones like birthdays and Mother’s Day with low-key social media posts.
In May 2007, Iglesias stirred confusion by claiming in an interview that they had secretly married and divorced. His representative later clarified that it was a joke. In April 2014, Iglesias revealed that his father, Julio Iglesias, had not met Kournikova, attributing it to the fast pace of his life.
Iglesias has spoken about the couple’s intimate life, stating in an October 2018 interview with The Sun that their physical relationship had not waned after becoming parents. He also expressed admiration for Kournikova’s mothering skills. In a People interview, Iglesias reflected on their relationship, emphasizing that understanding each other’s worlds has strengthened their bond.
In May 2022, Kournikova celebrated Iglesias’ birthday with an Instagram post, coinciding with Mother’s Day. Iglesias reciprocated with a Mother’s Day shout-out. He also hinted that his album “Final (Vol. 1)” might be his last, adding another layer to their private yet intriguing relationship.
