Anna Kournikova and Enrique Iglesias have welcomed twins, it has been revealed.

The former pro tennis player and superstar singer, 42, kept the pregnancy a secret.

The new parents have been dating since 2001 but are not thought to be married.

In an interview last summer Spanish singer Enrique revealed that despite the length of time they’ve been together, he and Anna have no immediate plans to get married. 

However, Enrique claimed they already live the life of a married couple in many ways. 

He told The Sun newspaper: ‘We’re just as happy. There comes a point when you’ve been with someone for a certain amount of time that I believe that you are like, married. I guess the only difference is that we haven’t walked down the aisle.’

Enrique, 42, raised eyebrows when he introduced Anna, 36, as his wife during a concert in Russia in 2011. 

But the singer later admitted he simply got caught up in the moment, adding that being married or not has no bearing on how much he loves his long-time partner. 

Reflecting on the incident, he previously shared: ‘It was just meant to be sweet, in the moment. I honestly didn’t mean to confuse people. I thought it’d be easier for the audience to understand than if I said, “my girl”.’

And the son of singer Julio Iglesias added: ‘I’ve never really thought marriage would make a difference. Maybe it’s because I come from divorced parents, but I don’t think you love someone more because of a piece of paper. And nowadays it’s not taboo to have kids and not be married. What makes a difference is that you’re a good parent.’
