Former tennis star Anna Kournikova is ending 2025 in style after welcoming her fourth child with partner Enrique Iglesias.
The 44-year-old, known nowadays for keeping fierce guard of her privacy, announced the arrival of her baby on social media earlier in the week.
She kept the gender of her baby to herself but shared a picture of the newborn wrapped in a blanket with her followers, capitoning the image: ‘My Sunshine’.
Now, an insider close to the private couple has lifted the lid on how their life has changed since the arrival of their fourth child on December 17.
‘Anna and Enrique are so excited about welcoming a fourth child to their family,’ the source was quoted as saying by People. ‘They are floating on air.
‘Anna and Enrique love family life and will spend the holidays with their family, which varies in size depending on who is around.

‘It will be busy and chaotic as always, only a bit more so, but all with joy and love.’
It emerged back in August that Kournikova was pregnant again and that she and Iglesias were expanding their family.
‘Both of them love being parents and having a fourth is the best present ever,’ the insider added.
Kournikova and the ‘Hero’ singer, 50, are already parents to seven-year-old twins Lucy and Nicholas, and five-year-old daughter Mary.
They have been together since 2001, meeting on the set of the singer’s video for the song ‘Escape’.
The happy news comes just a few months after she was pictured in a wheelchair and wearing a protective boot, sparking an outpouring of concern.
Kournikova was pictured being pushed by her daughter at Miami’s Bal Harbour shopping center back in January while also wearing the boot over her foot.
In early August, however, she was spotted running her children to martial arts in Miami, allaying fears of any lingering health issues.

It is believed she may have suffered a foot injury and undergone surgery around that time.
Kournikova burst onto the scene in the tennis world when she turned professional at the age of 14.
She got as high as eighth in the world rankings but never won a Grand Slam singles title.
But in the doubles, she enjoyed greater success once she partnered up with Martina Hingis. Together, they won the Australian Open doubles championship in 1999 and again in 2002.
She never officially confirmed that she had retired but her last game was in May 2003 when she was just 21 years old.
Kournikova’s rise was blighted by stress fractures in her back and feet – her foot injuries meant that there was extra concern when she was pictured in a protective boot earlier this year, considering her history.
