Enrique Iglesias and Anna Kournikova have been in a relationship for more than two decades, with the couple having first begun dating back in the early 2000s.

The pop hunk raised eyebrows last year when he was spotted passionately kissing a fan in Las Vegas at a meet and greet.

But the singer-songwriter, 46, is in a long term relationship with the former tennis ace, 41.

The good looking couple met in 2001 when she appeared in the music video for his song Escape.

She was cast as his love-interest in the video and Enrique described his future-partner Anna as "beautiful" and "talented" around the time that they were working together.

The couple began dating sometime after appearing in the music video together and have been known to keep their relationship quite private over the decades since.

They have expanded their family in more recent years and have given some glimpses into their life together in the past, so here's a look at Enrique and Anna's life together.

Family

The couple have three children and although they have been known to be quite private about their life, they do occasionally post about their family on social media.

Enrique and Anna welcomed their twins Nicholas and Lucy, now five, in 2017. "I [still] can't believe that I'm a dad. It's still surreal," he said on ITV 's Lorraine the following year.

He teased in the interview that he hoped to be a "cool, easygoing dad" and he told the Sun that same year that it's "incredible to watch [Anna] be such a great mother".

The family welcomed a new addition in 2020 with the birth of the couple's third child Mary, now three. Enrique and Anna both described her as their "sunshine" at the time.

Anna described Enrique as "the most amazing dad" in a post that she shared on Instagram last year to mark his birthday. It was accompanied by a photo of their family.

Marriage

Enrique and Anna have previously suggested in interviews that they weren't interested in getting married, with her once saying that marriage wasn't "important" to her.

"I'm in a happy relationship. That's all that matters. I believe in commitment. I believe in being open and trusting each other and respecting each other completely," she reportedly told Women's Health magazine back in 2011.

The following year, Enrique shared a similar sentiment, telling Parade magazine at the time: "I don't think you love someone more because of a piece of paper."

He however teased about marriage in an interview with Blesk TV just last year, with him saying: "We have been together for 20 years, so I mean we're stronger than ever."

"We haven't gotten married in public, that doesn't mean we are not married. We have been together for such a long time, for half of our lives," he added about his relationship.
