The singer and former tennis pro share three children — 5-year-old twins Lucy and Nicholas, and 3-year-old daughter, Mary.
Enrique Iglesias and Anna Kournikova’s love story spans just over two decades now. They’ve kept their relationship — as well as the ins and outs of their family of three — pretty private.
But in a new interview with People, the 48-year-old “Bailando” singer shares that any relationship — no matter how perfect it may seem to those on the outside looking in — requires both partners to put in the work. It’s the recipe for a successful and long-lasting relationship.
“You learn as you go. You have your good times, your bad times, and if you can get through the bad times, you’ll get to the really good times,” he tells the magazine for its new cover story. “A lot of people say, ‘Oh, well, I know this is the person I’m going to spend the rest of my life with.’ I do kind of agree with that, but at the same time, you really never know where life is going to take you and what can happen.”
Iglesias and Kournikova met on the set of his music video for “Escape” in December 2001. They immediately connected, and that connection has overcome any ups and downs every couple goes through, especially those under such an intense spotlight.
