Anna Kournikova & Enrique Iglesias are now the proud parents to twins after a secret pregnancy was finally revealed.
ENRIQUE Iglesias and Anna Kournikova have shared the first photos of their adorable newborn twins.
The Hero singer, 42, snuggled up to one of the bubs — who shared Enrique’s dark hair — in a photo posted to Instagram, captioning it “My Sunshine”.
Kournikova, 36, also shared an image on her Instagram cradling the other baby — a blonde — in her arms, also captioning it “My Sunshine”.
The former tennis glamour girl gave birth to boy called Nicholas and girl named Lucy in Miami last month.
The pair have been romantically involved since 2001 and despite rumours they’re married, Enrique has insisted that is not the case.
“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,” Iglesias said, according to The Sun.
“I guess the only difference is that we haven’t walked down the aisle.”
The couple, who met on the set of the video for Iglesias’ 2001 hit Escape, are very private.
Iglesias previously his dad Julio still hadn’t met Anna, saying: “They still haven’t met, no. They have to meet at some point.”

Back in December, the famously private couple secretly welcomed twins, Nicholas and Lucy, in Miami. They hadn’t previously announced they were expecting.
“Their family and friends didn’t even know,” a source told Entertainment Tonight about their expanding family. “They had been preparing for a while to have kids and are over the moon.”
Iglesias and Kournikova have been together since 2001 after meeting on the set of his “Escape” music video. While reports circulated that the pair were married after the former tennis pro was spotted with some bling on her ring finger, the pair have never confirmed anything.
“I absolutely want to have children, whether I have my own or adopt. I love taking care of people,” Kournikova said at the time of the wedding rumors in 2011. “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.”
Hey, babies!
Enrique Iglesias and longtime partner Anna Kournikova shared the first photos of their infant twins to Instagram on Tuesday, confirming the news that they are now parents.
The “El Baño” singer snuggled up to his baby — who was wearing a gray striped onesie and matching hat in the sweet photo — and wrote, “My Sunshine.”
In a separate post to her own social media account, Kournikova copied Iglesias’ caption as she smooched the cheek of the other baby, who was also wearing a gray onesie.

The insider continued, saying the couple was “very private but very generous with local charities.”
Iglesias has long thought Kournikova would be the “ideal mother,” telling PEOPLE en Español in 2007, “I think she’d be the perfect mother, and I say it regardless of whether I’d be with her or not.”

But neither of them have ever confessed to being engaged and last summer Enrique said neither he or Anna had any plans to tie the knot.
He told The Sun: "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."
Mind you, Enrique did one introduce Anna as his wife during a concert in Russia in 2011.
But later the son of Julias Inglesias claimed he merely got caught up in the moment.
