Enrique Iglesias and Anna Kournikova open up about marriage
A year after their meeting in 2001, Enrique and Anna made their relationship red carpet official by attending the MTV Video Music Awards. While the couple remained together, they never married. Speaking of the same in an interview with People in 2008, Anna said:
"I’m never getting married. Everything is good."
Enrique Iglesias, when asked about the marriage in a Parade interview, told the outlet:
"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, period."

Speaking about his kids, Iglesias told his fans in the Budapest Sports Arena in 2018:

Almost three years after the birth of their twins, the couple welcomed their third child, a daughter whom they named Mary. Speaking to people about the newborn daughter in 2020, he said:
"There’s a two-year difference, so I was a little scared. I was like, ‘How are they going to react?’ And I have two dogs, so my house is chaotic. When we first came home with Masha, I was like, ‘Oh, how is everybody going to react?’"
