Enrique Iglesias and Anna Kournikova’s love story began in 2001 on the set of Iglesias’s music video for “Escape.”
Initially met with skepticism, their relationship has since flourished over two decades.
Despite not having an official wedding, their enduring love and commitment challenge conventional norms
demonstrating that true devotion transcends formalities.
Their first meeting was anything but ordinary. When they met on the set of the video, their chemistry was palpable. Enrique admitted, “She is beautiful, talented, and a great tennis player. It doesn’t take a great actor to make a kiss with Anna look genuine.” Their undeniable connection quickly turned into a romance.
Now, after nearly 25 years together, Enrique and Anna remain deeply in love and committed to each other. They’ve chosen not to marry, a decision they both support. Enrique has said, “I’ve never believed that marriage would change anything. Perhaps it’s because I come from a divorced family, but I don’t think a piece of paper makes you love someone more.”
A key to their long-lasting relationship has been their mutual understanding and compatibility. Anna once described their bond, saying, “He’s the male version of me, and I’m the female version of him.”
In interviews, Anna has expressed that marriage isn’t crucial to her. “What matters is that I’m in a happy relationship. I believe in commitment, openness, trust, and complete respect for one another.”
Like all couples, Enrique and Anna have faced challenges. There were times when both considered ending their relationship, but they managed to overcome each obstacle, only strengthening their bond.
Over two years ago, they welcomed their third child, Mary. Enrique shared that being a father of three means less sleep but more joy. Around this time, Anna updated her Instagram profile to include “Iglesias,” sparking speculation that they might have married privately.
When asked about his role in parenting, Enrique confirmed, “I’m pretty hands-on with the kids.” He also expressed hopes for his children to pursue sports rather than music, sharing his love for golf and tennis and his desire for them to follow in his mother’s athletic footsteps.
Enrique believes that the key to a happy family life is spending quality time together. He makes a conscious effort to manage his schedule so that he is home with his family as much as possible, ensuring he isn’t away for more than two weeks at a time. In a recent interview, he expressed gratitude for being able to prioritize family amidst his busy career.
