Anna Kournikova Appears Pregnant With #3 In New Photos Showing Off Huge Baby Bump
The former tennis star already has twins with Enrique Iglesias. Is another baby on the way?
Getty Former tennis player Anna Kournikova, 38, and singer Enrique Iglesias, 41 are famously private about their personal lives. They won't even tell the world if they're married or not. They shocked everyone in 2017 when they confirmed that Kournikova had given birth to twins. They never even dropped a hint that they were about to become parents in the months before babies Nicholas and Lucy arrived.
Since the twins were born, the couple hasn't loosened up the privacy settings on their lives at all. They even built a giant wall around their house to keep the kids hidden from any paparazzi sneaking around. But they do occsaionally leave their compound sometimes and on a recent outing, a photographer caught a shot of Kournikova that looks suspiciously like she might be expecting again.
Is Anno Kournikova pregnant with baby #3? Read on for all the details about her family.
1. Kournikova has been with Enrique Iglesias since 2001. We think.
Here's what we know for sure: Anna Kournikova was in a music video for Iglesias's song "Escape". The tennis pro played the singer's love interest in the video and the chemistry sure looked real on-screen. He had nothing but good things to say about working with her, saying "She's beautiful, talented, great tennis player. It doesn't take a good actor to kiss Anna and try to make it believable." But if they started dating right away, they didn't let on that they were together.
2. They admitted they were an item by 2002, however.
Over the next few years, the couple appeared out together pretty regularly. She accompanied him to award shows and he watched her play tennis. There were even rumors that they were planning to get married when she showed up at a 2004 tournament wearing a very large pink diamond on her engagement finger. They never confirmed nor denied any plans for the future.
3. Iglesias has a habit of trolling the media about their relationship.
Reporters love to ask famous people about their romantic relationships and Kournikova and Iglesias are no exceptions to that rule. But Iglesias takes a slightly unusual approach to answer: he seems to tell big old lies about it. In 2007, he said that not only had he married Kournikova, but he had gotten divorced from her as well. “We’re divorced. I am single now, but that’s okay,” he told a foreign reporter. “I don’t mind being alone.” The next day, a source close to the couple said that they were still together.
In 2008, Kournikova said that she was happy with her relationship as it was and never wanted to get married. Iglesias joked about it in response, saying that he would love to get married but Kournikova is the barrier. "I always try, but she pays me no attention,” Iglesias told reporters.
He pulled the divorce stunt again in 2014 when a group of reporters asked him if he was married. “Right now, I’m divorced,” Iglesias said to the cameras. “I got a divorce three days ago and I wanted to give you guys the exclusive. I’m serious. No, seriously. Don’t laugh.” Given his total lack of candor in the past, no one really believed him this time either.
4. In 2017 they went deep undercover to hide a pregnancy.
While the world was wondering whether or not they were married, Kounirkova and Iglesias were making plans to start a family. Both of them had said in the past that they wanted children and in 2017, they made that dream come true. But they didn't tell the public about it in advance. News got out that she had given birth in December 2017 and they didn't confirm anything about the babies for a month or so. They finally shared photos of them on social media in January 2018.
Friends of the couple said at the time that people close to them knew the babies were coming. "I saw her cute belly,” a source told reporters. “A friend told me like five months ago [that] they were pregnant but keeping it very, very undercover."
"They basically only hang out with family and very close friends,” the source continued, explaining how they kept their news from going public. “They mostly keep to themselves.”
5. They are serious about keeping to themselves.
When it comes to protecting their kids' privacy, this couple doesn't fool around. Not long before the babies were born, construction started on a 16-foot wall around their Miami home. Allegedly, they also added safety upgrades to the property like barriers around the swimming pool. While they might hide out behind the wall most of the time, they do share glimpses of the twins on social media.

6. Are the twins getting a new sibling?
Now a tabloid has published a photo of the couple on their yacht and in the picture, it sure looks like 38-year-old Kournikova is expecting again. True to form, however, neither of them are saying a word about the picture.
Sure looks like a baby bump. If Kournikova is, indeed, pregnant, congrats to her and Enrique and they'll us know what's going on in their own time.
