Anna Kournikova's Remarkable Comeback: From Wheelchair to Miami Beach!
Anna Kournikova: From Tennis Sensation to Devoted Mom
The tennis world may have lost one of its brightest stars when Anna Kournikova hung up her racket in 2003, but she's still making headlines - this time as a devoted mom! The 44-year-old former tennis icon was spotted taking her three adorable kids to martial arts class in Miami Beach, and it's clear she's traded in her glamourous on-court attire for mom jeans.
Kournikova, who reached a career-high single ranking of world No. 8 and was voted the world's sexiest woman in 2002 (beating out Britney Spears and Jennifer Lopez), has been keeping a low profile since her retirement from tennis. But it seems she's found a new passion - motherhood! The Russian beauty shares her trio of mini-mes with her longtime partner, Enrique Iglesias.
The power couple, who met on the set of Iglesias' music video for his 2001 single "Escape," have been laying low in recent years. But this week, Kournikova was spotted taking her kids to a martial arts class, looking effortlessly cool in a white hoodie and Nike sneakers. Her children, twins Lucy and Nicholas (7) and Mary (5), were also dressed to impress in their tiny karate gear.
It's not the first time we've seen Kournikova out and about with her kids, but this week's photos are particularly telling - she appears to be injury-free after sparking concerns earlier this year when she was spotted in a wheelchair wearing an orthopedic boot. It seemed like a potential setback for the sports star turned model, but it looks like she's bounced back stronger than ever.
The couple, who have been together for over two decades, have kept their relationship relatively private - but we do know they're building a life together in Miami Beach. In fact, Iglesias has recently added to their property portfolio with the purchase of a $6.5 million mid-century home in Bay Point, a gated community located just a stone's throw from their current residence.
The sprawling five-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bathroom house is nestled in one of Miami's most sought-after neighborhoods, and it's clear Kournikova and Iglesias are committed to raising their children in style. But what about the mystery surrounding their relationship? Have they tied the knot or not? The answer remains unclear - Iglesias has referred to Kournikova as "my wife" in interviews, but when questioned about it, he clarified that it was just a slip of the tongue.
"I didn't mean to confuse people," he said. "I thought it'd be easier for the audience to understand than if I said 'my girl.' But honestly, marriage isn't something we've ever really talked about."
It seems Iglesias is content with being a devoted partner and dad - but will he ever take the plunge and propose? Only time will tell.
As Kournikova continues to balance motherhood and her personal life, fans can't help but wonder what's next for this tennis legend. Will she return to the court or focus on her modeling career? One thing's for sure - we'll be keeping a close eye on this glamorous mom of three!
