Kournikova retired from playing tennis at 21 due to a series of back injuries. Former pro tennis player Anna Kournikova was recently spotted in a wheelchair, sparking concerns about her health.

The Grand Slam doubles champion has not revealed any details about her injury. The Independent has reached out to her representatives for comment. The retired tennis player has largely kept her life private aside from the occasional tribute Instagram post to the father of her children and long-term boyfriend, Enrique Iglesias.
The Spanish singer and Kournikova have been dating since 2001 after the ex-tennis pro appeared as Iglesias’s love interest in the music video for his hit single “Escape.”. Iglesias has previously spoken about their decision not to get married. “Maybe it's because I come from divorced parents, but I don't think you love somebody more because of a piece of paper. Nowadays, it's not taboo to have kids and not be married. What makes a difference is that you're a good parent, period.”.
Nevertheless, Kournikova added Iglesias’s last name to her own on her Instagram profile back in 2022, sparking speculation that the pair had tied the knot. At the time she posted a rare photograph of their family to celebrate the singer’s 47th birthday. In the photo, Kournikova and the “Hero” singer are sitting on the grass with their twins Nicholas and Lucy sitting on their mother’s lap, while Mary sits on top of her father’s shoulders.
