Anna Kournikova Makes First Public Appearance Since Welcoming Fourth Child
Former tennis sensation Anna Kournikova has been spotted out in Miami for the first time since giving birth to her fourth child three months ago. The 44-year-old was seen enjoying a day at Tidal Cove waterpark with her three eldest children during Spring Break, showcasing a casual and relaxed style as she navigated family life with a newborn at home.
A Family Day Out at the Waterpark
Kournikova, who shares four children with longtime partner Enrique Iglesias, took twins Lucy and Nicholas, aged eight, and six-year-old Mary to the popular waterpark on Sunday. She opted for a low-key look, wearing black athletic shorts that highlighted her toned legs, a baggy white T-shirt, and comfortable sliders. Makeup-free and carrying a large green tote bag from the nearby Turnberry Isle Country Club, she appeared focused on treating her older kids to a fun-filled day while baby Romeo stayed home.
The waterpark, which offers entry fees ranging from $59 to $300 per day, features six slides, a lazy river, a Laguna pool, and an adults-only pool, providing ample entertainment for the family. This outing marks a rare public moment for Kournikova, who has largely stayed out of the spotlight since welcoming Romeo in December, as she and Iglesias adjust to being a family of six.
Private Life and Family Expansion
Kournikova and Iglesias, who have been together since 2001 after meeting on the set of his music video for "Escape," are known for fiercely guarding their privacy. They only revealed the gender and name of their newborn, Romeo, last week, sharing an adorable photo on Instagram of the baby wrapped in a blanket with a sloth stuffed animal. An insider close to the couple told People magazine, "Anna and Enrique are so excited about welcoming a fourth child to their family. They are floating on air."
The source added that family life is "busy and chaotic as always, only a bit more so, but all with joy and love." Iglesias, currently on a break from touring until his next performance in Mexico on May 2, has been balancing his music career with fatherhood, while Kournikova has stepped back from the public eye since retiring from tennis at age 21.
Kournikova's Tennis Legacy and Recent Health
At the height of her fame, Kournikova was a global icon, reaching as high as eighth in the world rankings and winning the Australian Open doubles championship with Martina Hingis in 1999 and 2002. Despite never securing a Grand Slam singles title, she captivated fans with her talent and became a paparazzi magnet, often facing unwarranted comments about her appearance versus her skill.
In recent years, sightings of Kournikova have been scarce. She was pictured in early 2025 using a wheelchair and wearing a protective boot, sparking concerns about her health, but later allayed fears by being seen running errands with her children in Miami. Her return to public life at the waterpark suggests she is embracing motherhood with vigor, focusing on her growing family while leaving her tennis days behind.
As Kournikova and Iglesias continue to cherish their private moments, fans are granted these rare glimpses into their joyful, albeit chaotic, family dynamics, celebrating the arrival of baby Romeo and the enduring bond of a couple who have been together for over two decades.
