Enrique Iglesias and Anna Kournikova have always kept their romance mostly private, but every now and then, their love story grabs the spotlight in a big way. The longtime couple, who have been together for more than two decades, are now celebrating another family milestone: they’re expecting their fourth child.
The news quickly spread after Anna, 44, was photographed in Miami recently while dropping off her kids at school, proudly showing off her baby bump. Sources close to the couple confirmed the pregnancy, saying they are “overjoyed” to be expanding their family once again. Fans couldn’t be happier, with many praising the couple for staying strong through the years. “I’m glad they have stood the test of time,” one fan wrote online, while another added, “That couple just gets better looking with age. Beautiful family.”
This next chapter adds to what has already been a long-running love story in the world of entertainment. Enrique, 50, and Anna first met back in 2001 on the set of his hit music video Escape. The chemistry between the pop star and the former tennis champion was undeniable, and from there, their bond only grew stronger. “When we met, we just started connecting little by little and got stronger and stronger,” Enrique shared in an interview with People in 2023.
The couple became first-time parents in December 2017 when they welcomed twins Nicholas and Lucy in Miami. Their third child, Mary, was born in January 2020. With baby number four on the way, their home is about to get even livelier. Despite their fame, Enrique and Anna have chosen to raise their children out of the public eye, only occasionally sharing glimpses of their family life on social media.
Fatherhood has clearly changed Enrique, who admitted last year that he’s been enjoying a slower pace of life. “I’m in relax mode, at home with the kids, enjoying school runs, watching them grow,” he told reporters at the Los40 Music Awards in Spain. “They change so fast. In 24 hours, they’ve already grown, and I don’t want to miss a thing.”
Anna, who once lit up the tennis world, retired at just 21 due to recurring injuries. Since her retirement in 2003, she has largely stepped away from the spotlight, choosing to focus on family life instead. Years ago, she admitted she always dreamed of becoming a mother, even considering adoption. “I absolutely want to have children, whether I have my own or adopt,” she told Women’s Health back in 2011. That dream has certainly come true.
As for their relationship, Enrique and Anna have never tied the knot, despite years of speculation. Early in their romance, Enrique joked that he kept trying to convince Anna to marry him, but she wasn’t interested. Over the years, both have made it clear that marriage isn’t a priority for them. “I don’t think you love someone more because of a piece of paper,” Enrique once explained. Anna echoed the sentiment, saying, “Marriage isn’t important to me. I’m in a happy relationship—that’s all that matters.”
Their bond, it seems, goes beyond tradition. They’ve weathered the ups and downs of life together and built a family rooted in love and commitment. Now, as they prepare to welcome their fourth child, fans are once again reminded why this pair remains one of Hollywood’s most admired couples.
