Anna Kournikova and Enrique Iglesias are reportedly first-time parents after the former tennis star is said to have given birth to twins over the weekend.
Sources in Miami said Anna and Enrique had welcomed a baby boy and girl on Saturday while also revealing how ‘nobody’ knew she was pregnant.
These ‘sources’ also stated the babies’ names – Nicholas for the boy and Lucy for their daughter.
The notoriously private couple – who’ve not been photographed together in public for nearly a year – have been together since 2001, and although there have been marriage rumours for years, it had never been confirmed.
They briefly separated in 2013 but sparked marriage rumours since rekindling their romance after Anna was photographed sporting a massive diamond ring on her wedding finger.
Anna has also appeared in a number of Enrique’s music videos, including his track, Tonight.
However in an interview this summer, Enrique revealed they’ve ‘no immediate plans to get married’, according to the Mail Online, saying:
I’ve never really thought marriage would make a difference? Maybe it’s because I come from divorced parents, but I don’t think you love someone more because of a piece of paper? Nowadays it’s not taboo to have kids and not be married. What makes a difference is that you’re a good parent.
According to E!, the couple first met on the singer’s ‘Escape’ music video and quickly started dating thereafter.
Now, they live a seemingly quiet life on a private island in Miami Beach. Nice!
Their first moments together and even their first kiss was caught on camera by MTV’s Making of the Video, which was on the set of Escape, where Anna played the singer’s love interest.
In the clip he says:
No, no, I’ve never met her before, but I’m a big fan.
Ya, I’m sure a lot of guys want to meet her, you know. I’m one of them. She’s beautiful, talented, a great tennis player and I’m sure she’s going to be great in the video.
Their on-screen chemistry quickly turned out to be more than just on camera and they ended up together. How cute.
In the programme, Enrique added:
You know, it doesn’t take a good actor to kiss Anna and try to make it believable.
Smooth!
In their downtime, Enrique and Anna enjoy spending time at their home relaxing with their pet dogs.
Speaking to Ventaneando last month, he said:
A day off for me is being at home on the sofa, watching TV with my girlfriend and our two pets — just having a good time. Really just enjoying the day and relaxing and watching House of Cards.
Congratulations, if the sources are correct!
