Anna, Enrique Still Playing Singles
Apparently, Anna Kournikova has not left the singles scene behind just yet.
The retired tennis hottie created waves last week when she reportedly told onlookers at a charity event that she had tied the knot with boyfriend Enrique Iglesias.
"Enrique is great. Everything is awesome. We are married," she said, while flaunting a wedding ring, according to Us Weekly.
However, sources close to Iglesias have told E! that the PDA-heavy pair have not swapped vows and remain legally, if not physically, unattached.
It's not the first time Kournikova has served up a false story about her marital status. She has joked about being married to Iglesias in the past and also denied that she was ever married to hockey star Sergei Fedorov. (The twosome wed briefly in 2001.)
A source close to Kournikova told People magazine that the camera-friendly pair had not taken the steps to make their love match official.
"They definitely did not get married," the source told People. "They're very happy together, but marriage is not something that they're planning in their lives right now."
As for the so-called wedding ring Kournikova flashed, another source close to the blonde bombshell told People that it is simply an ordinary ring that the oft-Googled athlete has owned for over a year and wears often.
The duo was said to have wed in an ultra-private ceremony on a beach in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, according to Us Weekly; however, the last time the couple were together in Puerto Vallarta was reportedly back in October--months before their supposed wedding was said to have taken place. Meanwhile, officials in the region have said no paperwork had been filed to make any such ceremony legal.
Reps for both halves of the pair refused to comment on the "union."
"We never comment on our client's personal lives," Kournikova publicist Ivy Mollenkamp said. A flack for Iglesias was equally tight-lipped.
So, what's with Kournikova putting herself through the rumor mill? Perhaps she's missing the attention she once garnered as a professional athlete.
The short-skirt wearing tennis diva officially hung up her racquet last March after suffering from chronic back pain.
Though Kournikova was once ranked eighth in the world, she never won a major tournament. She did, however, manage to score plenty of endorsements, thanks to her looks and trademark blonde ponytail.
In 2002, the striking Russian was named FHM magazine's Sexiest Woman in the World. That same year, she starred in the video for Iglesias' hit, "Escape," and the two began dating.
Iglesias, the son of Julio Iglesias Jr., has sold more than 15 million albums worldwide. His Spanish-language album, Quizas, released in 2002, won a Latin Grammy for Best Male Pop Vocal Album. His latest effort, Seven, was released in 2003.
Both halves of the celeb duo have tried their hand on the big screen. Kournikova had a small role in 2000's Me, Myself and Irene with Jim Carrey, while Iglesias appeared in 2003's Once Upon a Time in Mexico with Salma Hayek.
