Iglesias, 42, and the Moscow born beauty had always kept their relationship out of the limelight. The couple first met back in 2001 during the filming of then-26-year-old Iglesias' music video for his song "Escape." Ever since then, the couple began a relationship that would stand the test of time and have been together for 16 years. Interestingly, they have yet to walk down the aisle even after being together for so long.
Back in 2011, the Spanish crooner had certainly raised a lot of eyebrows when he introduced Kournikova as his wife during a concert in Russia. However, the singer explained that he had been just caught in the moment and they didn't actually get married.
"It was just meant to be sweet, in the moment. I honestly didn't mean to confuse people. I thought it'd be easier for the audience to understand than if I said, "my girl." I've never really thought marriage would make a difference. Maybe it's because I come from divorced parents, but I don't think you love someone more because of a piece of paper. And nowadays it's not taboo to have kids and not be married. What makes a difference is that you're a good parent," the singer explains.
