Anna Kournikova<\/a> and Enrique Iglesias<\/a> have shared their first glimpse into life as a family of six.<\/p>\n

The notoriously private couple, who didn’t confirm their latest pregnancy<\/a> until after the baby was born, posted a photo on Instagram \ufeffof the newborn flanked by their twins Lucy and Nicholas, eight, and daughter Mary, five.<\/p>\n

\ufeffKournikova, 44, and Iglesias, 50, have yet to reveal the newborn’s name and gender; which is fitting, as they largely keep their lives out of the spotlight.<\/p>\n

“My Sunshines \u2764\ufe0f\u2764\ufe0f\u2764\ufe0f\u2764\ufe0f,” Kournikova captioned the photo.<\/p>\n

The couple announced the arrival of their fourth child on December 23.\ufeff<\/p>\n

The pair first met in 2001 on the set of Enrique’s “Escape” music video, when both were at the pinnacle of their fame.<\/p>\n

At the time, Kournikova was a global tennis sensation and Iglesias a reigning pop superstar.<\/p>\n

They began dating almost immediately, sparking the first of many engagement rumours in 2004, though the couple has famously never officially married.<\/p>\n

They have been together for 24 years, with both of them stating they saw no need for legal marriage.<\/p>\n

\ufeffLast year, Kournikova added “Iglesias” to the end of her name on Instagram; however, there has been no confirmation that the pair are actually married.<\/p>\n

The duo have both spoken about their decision not to marry several times, with Iglesias opening up in a 2012 interview, sharing he\ufeff “never really thought [it] would make a difference.”\ufeff<\/p>\n

“Maybe it’s because I come from divorced parents, but I don’t think you love someone more because of a piece of paper,” he said.<\/p>\n

“Nowadays, it’s not taboo to have kids and not be married.<\/p>\n

“What makes a difference is that you’re a good parent, period.”<\/p>\n
