Tennis player Anna Kournikova and singer Enrique Iglesias have confirmed the birth of their fourth child, received with joy in the middle of the Christmas season. The couple, who have always been very discreet with their private life, shared with their followers an emotional message accompanied by an image of the newborn sleeping peacefully with a stuffed animal, along with the text “My sunshine”, thus officially welcoming the new member of the family.
The birth took place on December 17, and the couple celebrated the news at a time of the year marked by festivities and family spirit. With the arrival of this new baby, Iglesias and Kournikova’s family grows even bigger. The older children (twins Lucy and Nicholas, 7, and Mary, 5, also known as Masha for the translation of her name into Russian, Anna’s native land) are already looking forward to welcoming their baby brother or sister, confirming the excitement surrounding the growth of the family.
A discreet but shared family life
Since the beginning of their relationship in 2001, during the filming of the Escape music video, Enrique Iglesias and Anna Kournikova have maintained a family life away from the media spotlight, always prioritizing privacy over public exposure. The strength of their relationship, which will be 24 years old in 2025, has been highlighted on numerous occasions by both the duo and their entourage.

Despite this discretion, the couple takes advantage of specific moments, such as the birth of their children, to share some of their joy with their millions of followers. Now, with the arrival of their fourth baby, they wanted to share this special moment with their fans, showing that family is still at the center of their priorities.
Extended family joy
The news has not only pleased the parents and siblings of the newborn, but also the entire extended family. Enrique’s sister, Ana Boyer, is expecting a baby girl with Fernando Verdasco, an event that has also been cause for celebration at this time. Boyer and her partner shared their announcement accompanied by their three children, expressing their happiness for expanding their family.
The family matriarch, Isabel Preysler, has also shown her enthusiasm for the future expansion of her family, which is approaching ten grandchildren. Preysler celebrated the news with words that reflect her joy at the consolidation of a large and united family. Her daughter, Tamara Falcó, also shared her surprise and affection towards the couple in such a significant moment.
A solid love built over time
The love story between Enrique Iglesias and Anna Kournikova has been, since its inception, a story that has attracted public attention for its longevity and stability. They began their relationship after meeting in a video clip that marked one of the artist’s biggest hits, and since then they have led a life that combines professional success with family commitment.
Although they never publicly expressed the need for a traditional wedding, it was details revealed by family members that fueled curiosity about their civil status. For example, Enrique’s brother Julio Iglesias Jr. commented in an interview that Enrique had not celebrated a “big wedding,” implicitly suggesting that the couple had a formal union, something Anna later confirmed by modifying their public profiles by adding the Iglesias surname.
In this sense, the couple has built a firm family foundation in a context of high media exposure, but balancing that public presence with a daily life focused on their children and their closest environment.
Commitment to family and parenting
The arrival of the new son coincides with a stage of life in which both Iglesias and Kournikova have demonstrated a deep commitment to raising their children. In recent months, they have been spotted sharing everyday moments such as errands, time in the garden, playing in the pool or family outings, always emphasizing the importance of parental presence.
In Iglesias’ own words: “It’s amazing to witness what a good mother she is,” he said in an interview with The Sun, referring to Anna and her dedication to her children. He also added that watching his partner’s maternal instincts kick in with their children has been one of the most rewarding experiences of his life. For her part, Anna has expressed that, since becoming a mother, her priority is to dedicate all her time to her children: “Being with them is happiness, I am not willing to miss a second”.
An intense professional and personal moment
A little over a year ago, Enrique Iglesias released what would be his last album, Final Vol.2, although he clarified that this did not mean a definitive retirement from the music industry. The artist stated that, despite the changes in the way music is consumed, he will continue to publish songs and offer concerts. He combines this professional transition with his family life, enjoying his roles as a father and partner.
Iglesias has repeatedly shown his appreciation for Anna’s approach to motherhood. The balance between a long-lasting artistic career and a solid family life remains one of the pillars on which the couple has built their love story.
