Former world’s sexiest woman who retired from tennis aged 21 now lives quiet life with pop star husband Enrique Iglesias

ANNA KOURNIKOVA has swapped all the glitz and glamour of her tennis days for a quiet family life.

Kournikova stood out on the court back in the early 2000s and was even ranked as the world’s No1 in doubles.

The Russian star also shone bright away from the net as she was voted the world’s sexiest woman back in 2002, beating the likes of Britney Spears and Jennifer Lopez.

She was also recognised as the sexiest female tennis player of all time in 2010.

However, a string of injuries – mostly back problems – led to an early retirement in 2003 when she was only 21 years old.

The now 41-year-old has since lived a quiet life with her pop star partner Enrique Iglesias.

The star couple met in 2001 while filming Iglesias’ music video for Escape.

They are now living under the radar away from the spotlight alongside their three kids.

Kournikova and Iglesias welcomed twins Nicholas and Lucy in 2017 and Mary in 2020.

The ex-tennis star doesn’t appear to miss her former glamorous lifestyle as she rarely shares on social media.
