Inside Enrique Iglesias and Anna Kournikova’s Super-Private Romance

“Anna took to me the place where she was brought up in Russia and if you see the house she lived in, you can open up your arms and touch it wall to wall. Out of there, she played every single day for eight hours since she was 5 years old. For me, it’s mind-boggling. To me, she is the most amazing person I have ever met.”

They’ve been all over the world on vacation like glamorous celebrities, but part of their charm is that they usually keep date night local like regular people, whether they’re catching a Miami Heat game or just going out to dinner, or taking their boat for a spin (that’s considered regular in Miami Beach).

In fact, after they were rumored to have broken up in 2013, the inevitable rumor-quashing pictures of them on the boat were forthcoming.

Kournikova also said on The Graham Norton Show that they had their ordinary-couple issues just like anybody else. Asked if Iglesias left his wet towels lying around, she said, “Yeah, and you find underwear, you know, everywhere and dirty socks and everything.” 

“At least it’s Enrique Iglesias’ dirty underwear,” Norton quipped. “Put it on eBay.”
