Anna Kournikova and Enrique Inglesias have shared a photo of their ‘sunshine’ fourth child, who they welcomed on December 17.

The 50-year-old singer and the 44-year-old old Russian former tennis player shared a joint post on Instagram on Monday December 22 revealing that they have expanded their brood – which already includes twins Lucy and Nicholas, eight, and daughter Mary, five.

The couple’s announcement featured a sweet picture of the newborn – who they welcomed into the world last week – wrapped up in a blanket wearing a hospital beanie and snuggled up to a stuffed animal sloth.

Enrique and Anna captioned their post: ‘My Sunshine 12.17.2025.’

The pair are protective of their private lives and have not revealed any information about the baby’s sex or name.

Insiders previously revealed that Enrique and Anna – who have been together since 2001 – were to welcome a fourth child.

A source told People: ‘Anna and Enrique are very happy to become parents again. 

‘They have proven to be great parents to their three children, and both of them love the process. They enjoy the activities and all that goes along with raising children.’

Meanwhile, Enrique previously revealed that he hopes that his kids follow in their footsteps of their mother – a former top 10 tennis player – instead of opting for a music career like him.

The Hero singer said back in 2020:  ‘I can honestly tell you, if I had to pick one, definitely sports.

‘Yeah, I would say yes, just because I love sports. I love golf, I love tennis, and I would not mind seeing one of my little girls play tennis.

‘I don’t want to become one of these obsessive fathers, but I told Anna, I said, “You can be the best coach in the world.”‘

The Spanish star once explained that he hopes to be a ‘cool’ dad but felt that he had developed a new sense of responsibility since becoming a parent.

Enrique said: ‘It’s one of the best feelings in the world. [I’m more responsible]. I drive slower. I think about stupid things a few more times before doing them. 

‘I hope to be a cool, easy-going dad.’

In 2023 after 30 years in the music business, Enrique announced his retirement following the release of his final album, aptly named Final (Vol. 2).

In November that year he told TODAY.com: ‘It’s completely finished. What I want to do is shoot one or two videos right before the second leg on the tour and launch it.’

He added: ‘I’ve been working on this album for quite a bunch of years. And for me it was always like I said, my final album… this is it.

‘I don’t think — no, I know, I won’t be doing any more albums.’

Enrique began his career in the mid-1990s when he signed with Mexican label Fonovisa and became the best-selling Spanish-language act of the decade. 

In 1999 Enrique’s song Bailamos topped charts, and he went on to establish himself as the King of Latin Pop.
