When the most beautiful woman in tennis fell in love with pop music's biggest flirt, few thought it would last very long. But over two decades later, Anna Kournikova and Enrique Iglesias are still making it work - even if the singer can't quite keep his lips to himself.
The Spanish hunk, 49, has developed quite a reputation over the years for kissing fans at his shows. But, he says, it's a habit that his former tennis pro love has absolutely no issue with.
"Not at all," Iglesias said in a new interview with SiriusXM over whether his antics make Kournikova, 42, jealous.
"I do that all the time, I love embracing and kissing and just hugging my fans. I like getting close up. I just love to get so much love from my fans and know that if it wasn't for them, I wouldn't be where I am." In fact, he reveals that when he does share a smooch on stage, it's often in front of his long-term partner, with Kournikova still attending many of his concerts. The women plucked from the audience "look at her for permission", he explains.
