A Holiday Surprise No One Expected: Enrique Iglesias Welcomes His Fourth Child

The Iglesias–Kournikova household has grown once again. Just weeks after reports surfaced that the longtime couple were preparing to welcome another baby, they quietly shared the joyful news that their newest child arrived on December 17. A tender photo accompanied the announcement, showing the newborn peacefully resting in a hospital bassinet, a small plush toy by their side. The simple caption—“My sun”—said it all, making this arrival a particularly meaningful moment during the holiday season.

At 50, Enrique has embraced fatherhood for the fourth time, while Anna, now 44, continues to focus her life around family. The baby joins siblings Lucy and Nicholas, the seven-year-old twins, and five-year-old Mary, affectionately known as Masha—a nod to Anna’s Russian roots. Together, they form a close-knit family that the couple has always worked hard to keep out of the spotlight.

Happiness is multiplying on both sides of the family. Enrique’s sister Ana Boyer is also expecting, meaning two new babies will arrive almost back-to-back. The timing has only added to the excitement, with cousins set to grow up nearly the same age—something the family is clearly looking forward to.

The joy extends to the proud grandmother, Isabel Preysler, who is on the brink of welcoming her tenth grandchild. Family members have spoken openly about their surprise and delight at the news, praising Enrique and Anna for continuing to grow their family after so many years together.

Their love story began back in 2001, when Anna appeared in Enrique’s “Escape” music video. What started as on-screen chemistry soon turned into a real relationship that has lasted more than two decades. Despite global fame, the couple has chosen a private life, raising their children away from public scrutiny on the exclusive Indian Creek island in Miami.

Though they have never publicly confirmed a wedding, subtle hints over the years—including comments from relatives and updates to Anna’s name on official profiles—have fueled speculation that they may have quietly made things official.

In recent months, Anna was occasionally spotted out with her children, her pregnancy visible but understated, while Enrique spoke candidly about the happiness and responsibility that comes with a growing family. Still, true to form, they kept most details—like the baby’s gender—private.

Parenthood has clearly reshaped their priorities. Both frequently share small glimpses of family life, whether playing outdoors, enjoying time by the water, or simply being together at home. Enrique has often praised Anna’s devotion as a mother, while she has said that nothing compares to being present for her children every day.

Professionally, Enrique recently released what he described as his final full album, choosing instead to focus on individual songs and live performances going forward. Music remains part of his life—but it now shares center stage with his most important role yet: being a present, hands-on father to what he lovingly calls his “suns.”
