Former tennis player Anna Kournikova (44), who was worried a few months ago, has given birth to a new child.
Anna Kournikova, does this mean something to you? Great Russian hope of the little yellow ball promised to a great destiny, the young woman had been talked about more for her physical than tennis qualities in the end. The pretty right-hander had still reached 8th place in the WTA rankings in singles (no titles) and occupied the throne in doubles, a discipline in which she had distinguished herself the most by winning 2 Grand Slam tournaments alongside Martina Hingis, heckled a few years ago by the public at Roland-Garros, both in the same place, at the Australian Open in 1999 and 2002 (16 doubles titles in all). We expected so much more at the time that a taste of unfinished business remains when we talk about Kournikova.
Since the premature end of her career in 2003, the starlet has been talked about as the companion of Enrique Iglesias, the famous Spanish singer, son of Julio, legend of the song. The two lovebirds have been in perfect love for many years (24) and they have just received a magnificent Christmas present, a little early. Anna Kournikova has indeed become a mother again.
Kournikova mother for the 4th time
And 4 for the former Russian tennis player! After the twins Nicholas and Lucy in 2017 and little Mary (nicknamed Masha) in 2020, the famous couple welcomed a new child. The former player and the singer made the birth of their new child official on social networks through an Instagram post on Monday. “My sunshine”, we can read in the caption of the photo of the 4th child born on December 17 and whose sex and first name are not specified.
This is some nice news that will reassure Anna Kournikova fans. The Russian had in fact worried her followers when the New York Post published photos of her in a wheelchair last January. The 44-year-old young woman then appeared with her foot encased in an orthopedic boot. She has since regained some pep and is swimming in complete happiness.
