Enrique And Anna Kournikova Met On A Set, Have Been Together For Decades, Parents Of 4, Not Married

Hero singer, Enrique Iglesias, and his lady love, Anna Kournikova, are over the moon as they became parents for the fourth time. Yes! The couple, who has been together for years, now has a family of 6, including them and their 4 kids. On December 22, 2025 (ET), Enrique Iglesias took to his social media handle and announced the birth of his fourth child, whose gender is yet to be revealed.

In the post, the newborn was seen sleeping peacefully, and sharing the photo, the singer and his lady love announced the birth of the tiny human into their family. Amid the duo's fans' delight at the birth of their fourth child, let's take a look back at their decades-long relationship. 

Enrique Iglesias and Anna Kournikova's first meeting and how their relationship unfolded afterwards?

Enrique Iglesias and Anna Kournikova first crossed paths in 2001, when they appeared in the singer's music video Escape. The duo's burning chemistry in the song caught everyone's attention, and it seemed to carry over into their real lives as well. While things remained private, in 2002 the couple made their first red-carpet debut at the MTV Video Music Awards. The next year, the duo was spotted together at the Once Upon A Time In Mexico premiere in New York City. Much later, in an interview with PEOPLE, Enrique Iglesias shared that although his lady love comes from a sports background, when they met, they kind of got each other, which led them to connect little by little and eventually grow stronger.

In 2004, Anna was spotted wearing a large band on her ring finger, which sparked rumours of the couple's engagement and secret wedding. Reports claimed that Enrique and Anna got married secretly in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, but later the rumors were proven false. Around 2007, Enrique shocked everyone when he said he was 'single'. The singer mentioned during an interview that he and his partner were divorced, and he didn't mind being single.

However, later it was confirmed that Enrique was only joking. Later, in an interview with PEOPLE, Enrique Iglesias shared that his relationship with Anna is his first serious one. On the other hand, when asked if he would get married to her, he said that he had not put that much thought into it, but he knew that his lady love would make a very good mother.

By 2011 and 2012, Anna and Enrique decided that they would become parents, and she, in an interview with Women's Health, shared that she wished to have kids with the singer, be it her own or adopted. She also mentioned that people asked her about her marriage to the singer, but she feels that being in a happy relationship full of commitments is what counts, and marriage isn't that important to her.

The singer, too, in an interview with Parade, said that he never thought that marriage could make much of a difference. Sharing the reason, Enrique said that because he comes from divorced parents, he thinks this way, but for him, if someone loves someone, that is more than a piece of paper. Enrique could be quoted as saying:

"Maybe it's because I come from divorced parents, but I don't think you love somebody more because of a piece of paper. Nowadays, it's not taboo to have kids and not be married. What makes a difference is that you're a good parent, period."
