Former tennis sensation Anna Kournikova and her long-term partner, global music star Enrique Iglesias, have rung in the new year with a momentous family addition. The couple, famously private about their personal lives, have welcomed their fourth child together, officially expanding their family to a party of six.
A Joyful Announcement and a Private Celebration
The 44-year-old Kournikova announced the baby's arrival on social media earlier in the week, sharing a tender image of the newborn wrapped in a blanket. She captioned the photo simply 'My Sunshine', choosing to keep the infant's gender private. The baby was born on December 17, 2025, perfectly timing the celebration for the festive season.
An insider close to the couple revealed to People magazine the overwhelming joy the new arrival has brought. 'Anna and Enrique are so excited about welcoming a fourth child to their family,' the source said. 'They are floating on air.' The source added that the pair adore family life and that their holidays, while predictably busy and chaotic with four young children, are filled with nothing but joy and love.
From the Tennis Court to a Growing Family
Kournikova, the Russian former world number eight, and Iglesias, the 50-year-old Spanish singer of 'Hero' fame, are already parents to seven-year-old twins Lucy and Nicholas, and a five-year-old daughter, Mary. Their relationship began over two decades ago, in 2001, when they met on the set of Iglesias's music video for his single 'Escape'.
News of this pregnancy first emerged in August 2025. The insider emphasised, 'Both of them love being parents and having a fourth is the best present ever.'
Overcoming Health Concerns
The happy baby news follows a period of concern for Kournikova's well-being earlier in the year. In January, she was photographed in Miami being pushed in a wheelchair by her daughter while wearing a protective boot on her foot, sparking widespread worry among fans.
Given Kournikova's tennis career was famously hampered by stress fractures in her back and feet, the sight of the boot led to speculation about a serious injury or surgery. However, by early August, she was seen actively running her children to activities in Miami, allaying fears about any lasting health issues.
Kournikova's own sporting legacy remains iconic. She turned professional at just 14 and climbed as high as eighth in the world rankings. While she never secured a Grand Slam singles title, she found significant success in doubles, winning the Australian Open doubles championship twice with partner Martina Hingis in 1999 and 2002. Her last professional match was in 2003 when she was only 21, though she never formally announced her retirement.
Today, her focus is firmly on her family with Enrique Iglesias, as they embrace the beautiful chaos of life as a family of six.
