Enrique Iglesias Turns 51: A Rare Look Inside His Quiet Family Life with Anna Kournikova and Their Four Kids

A Love Story That Began on Set

Enrique Iglesias and Anna Kournikova met in 2001 on the set of his music video for “Escape.” Their on-screen chemistry quickly evolved into a real-life romance that has now spanned 25 years. Despite never marrying, the couple has built a strong family unit with four children.

The singer turned 51 on May 8, 2025, and used the occasion to share rare glimpses of his private life. Iglesias posted a photo of the entire family—including their newborn—taken during a vacation in March 2025. Kournikova captioned it: “Lucy+Nicolas+Mary+Romeo â¤ī¸â¤ī¸â¤ī¸â¤ī¸.” The post confirmed the name of their fourth child: Romeo.

A Partnership Built on Commitment, Not a Piece of Paper

Both Iglesias and Kournikova have been candid about their decision not to marry. In 2011, Kournikova told Women’s Health: “I believe in commitment. I believe in being open and trusting each other and respecting each other completely.” Iglesias echoed that sentiment in a 2012 interview with Parade: “I’ve never really thought marriage would make a difference.”

The singer, whose parents divorced when he was young, added: “What makes a difference is that you’re a good parent, period.” That philosophy has guided them as they raised twins Nicholas and Lucy (born December 2017), daughter Mary (born January 2020), and their latest arrival, Romeo (born December 2025).

The Growing Family: A Timeline of Joy

Twins Nicholas and Lucy – December 2017

The couple welcomed their first children on December 16, 2017, in Miami. The twins were introduced to the world via a single Instagram post—a black-and-white shot of tiny hands. Over the years, fans have seen rare photos of Nicholas with his blond hair (which Iglesias joked was inherited from “which side?”) and Lucy’s ever-changing hairstyles.

In December 2021, Kournikova posted birthday tributes. For Lucy, she shared a photo of the little girl in a cheetah print dress. For Nicholas, a shot of him in a Spider-Man bean bag chair. “4! â¤ī¸â€ she captioned both.

Daughter Mary – January 2020

Iglesias and Kournikova’s third child, Mary, arrived on January 30, 2020. The singer shared a photo of himself holding baby Mary moments after birth with the caption: “My Sunshine.” She turned 1 in 2021, pictured in a neutral ensemble with a matching bow. By March 2025, Mary was seen in a family photo on a boat, wearing a rashguard and dancing with her father. Iglesias captioned it: “Stage ready!”

Fourth Child Romeo – December 2025

On December 17, 2025, the couple welcomed their fourth child. Details about the baby’s name and sex were initially withheld, but the March 2025 vacation photo confirmed the name Romeo. A source told PEOPLE before the birth: “Anna and Enrique are very happy to become parents again. They enjoy the activities and all that goes along with raising children.”

Rare Glimpses of Parenthood

Iglesias and Kournikova have always guarded their children’s privacy, but they occasionally share candid snapshots. The gallery format of the original article (captured in Screenshot (550).png) shows 39 distinct moments from 2017 to 2025. Here are some standout scenes:

  • Boat Buddies (March 2025): Iglesias and daughter Mary shared choreography on a sunny day. “Familia â¤ī¸â¤ī¸â¤ī¸â¤ī¸,” he wrote.
  • Fourth of July 2021: Iglesias held twins Nicholas and Lucy in each arm, with Lucy sporting heart-shaped sunglasses. The singer captioned it: “#MEPASE đŸ¤Ŗ #fourthofjuly.”
  • Halloween 2025: A pregnant Kournikova posed with three children in costume. The post marked her visible baby bump before Romeo’s arrival.
  • Dance Party (May 2018): Kournikova danced with Lucy to Chuck Berry’s “Run Rudolph Run.” She joked: “Little one, please don’t inherit my dance moves.”

Why They Keep Their Kids Out of the Spotlight

Both parents have emphasized normalcy over fame. Kournikova, a former tennis star who retired early, told Women’s Health in 2011 that being a good parent is “all that matters.” Iglesias, one of the best-selling Latin artists of all time, rarely brings his children on tour. Instead, he includes them in low-key moments—like a “serious talk” with Nicholas in April 2019, which involved blowing raspberries, or a pretend flat tire repair with the twins pushing him in a toy car.

The couple’s commitment to privacy means fans see only curated peeks. But each photo underscores a consistent theme: joy, silliness, and deep affection. As Iglesias once wrote next to a shot of Lucy holding his hand for International Women’s Day: “Celebrating all the women around the world today, and every day.”

A Birthday to Remember

For his 51st birthday, Iglesias celebrated quietly with family. The March 2025 vacation photo remains the most recent family portrait, showing all four kids—Nicholas, Lucy, Mary, and newborn Romeo—under a sunny sky. Kournikova’s caption read simply: “My sunshines.”

From their first meeting on a music video set to raising four children in a low-key, committed partnership, Enrique Iglesias and Anna Kournikova prove that a happy family doesn’t require a wedding ring. As Iglesias once said, being a good parent is what defines a relationship—and by that measure, they’ve already won.
