Enrique Iglesias and Anna Kournikova welcome third child after twins Lucy and Nicholas
Spanish magazine Hola! had just published pictures of Anna Kournikova with a big baby bump on a yacht in Miami, accompanied by 44-year-old Enrique Iglesias, in their February issue. It was the first news item about the former tennis player, 38, expecting a third child with her long term partner, the 44-year-old pop star Enrique Iglesias.
Now, Iglesias's brother, Julio Iglesias Jr. has confirmed the happy news that Anna, 38, has given birth during an interview with Chilean radio station ADN. When pressed about the gender of the new arrival, Julio said: "It's a secret".
During the radio interview, Julio was asked about rumors that he was going to be an uncle again, to which he replied: "I’ve already become an uncle." He added: "My brother now has three children. He’s very happy."
While Hola! had reported that Anna was pregnant, there was no confirmation about when the baby was due. The private couple had also kept Anna's earlier pregnancy a secret till the birth of their twins, Lucy and Nicholas, in 2017.
The couple had started dating in 2001 after meeting on the set of his “Escape” music video. The notoriously publicity-shy couple do share images and videos of their children on social media, but they are usually discreet about their private lives as a family. They have mostly kept out of the spotlight in the almost two decades that they have been together.
Talking about his role as a father after the birth of the twins, Enrique Iglesias had revealed that he hopes to be a “cool” dad, and said he had developed a new sense of responsibility. “It’s one of the best feelings in the world. I’m more responsible. I drive slower. I think about stupid things a few more times before doing them”, the singer had said at the time.
