Tennis legend Anna Kournikova and Latin pop superstar Enrique Iglesias are preparing to welcome their fourth child together, marking another milestone for the couple who have maintained a deliberately private existence away from the glare of Hollywood’s spotlight. The couple and those close to them have responded enthusiastically to the pregnancy news that first surfaced in August 2025.
According to sources close to the pair, Kournikova, 44, and Iglesias, 50, are “so excited” about the upcoming arrival, with the family bracing itself for what insiders describe as “controlled chaos” as their Miami Beach household expands from five to six members. The couple already share custody of seven-year-old twins Lucy and Nicholas, born in December 2017, and five-year-old daughter Mary, born in January 2020.
A Love Story Born in 2001
The romance between the sports icon and the music entertainer traces its roots to December 2001, when they met on the set of Iglesias’s iconic music video “Escape”. The chemistry that sparked on-screen translated seamlessly into real life, launching a relationship that has now spanned over two decades. Despite their celebrity stature, the couple has consistently chosen to keep their relationship largely away from public scrutiny, rarely making joint public appearances and instead focusing on building a quiet family life together.
In an interview with People, Iglesias reflected on their connection, stating, “When we met, although she came from the sports world we kind of got each other. She knew what my world was like. I kind of knew what her world was like. So that understanding helped a lot. We just started connecting little by little and got stronger and stronger and stronger.”
Parenthood as Priority
Since welcoming their first children, the twins, in 2017, both Kournikova and Iglesias have dedicated themselves to family life. The couple has been noted for their commitment to raising their children while maintaining their professional endeavors. Iglesias, known for chart-topping hits including “Hero,” “Rhythm Divine,” and “Bailamos,” has notably reduced his touring schedule in recent years to spend quality time with his growing brood.
“He loves his fans and loves to tour, but as he has gotten older and become a parent, it has been harder for him to leave,” a source explained. “He will never forsake his fans, but being a dad is very important to him.”
Kournikova, who retired from professional tennis in 2003 at the age of 21 due to recurring injuries, has similarly embraced her role as a mother. The retired tennis star has occasionally shared glimpses of family life on social media, such as Halloween photos featuring her children in costumes, offering rare windows into their private world.
Life in Miami
The family resides in a luxury waterfront mansion in Bay Point, Miami Beach, a prestigious neighborhood that also houses other high-profile figures such as Jeff Bezos and Tom Brady. Their chosen location reflects their preference for privacy while maintaining proximity to the amenities befitting their lifestyle.
Preparation for Expansion
Those close to the couple have expressed confidence in their parenting abilities as they prepare for the newest family member. “They have proven to be great parents to their three children, and both of them love the process. They enjoy the activities and all that goes along with raising children,” an insider told People.
As the couple awaits the arrival of baby number four, their story continues to defy the typical celebrity relationship narrative, demonstrating that lasting love and family commitment can thrive away from the spotlight, built on mutual understanding and shared values.
