Once one of the most recognizable faces in tennis, Anna Kournikova has spent the past decade largely away from the limelight. Now aged 43, the former world No. 8 may have stepped off the professional court years ago, but her recent appearances show she barely looks any different from her peak days in the spotlight.
Known for her powerful presence both on and off the court, Kournikova became a global icon in the late 1990s and early 2000s, despite never clinching a singles title. Her striking looks and undeniable charisma helped transform the perception of women’s tennis, ushering in a new era of marketability for athletes.
Today, Kournikova lives a much quieter life alongside her longtime partner, pop star Enrique Iglesias, with whom she shares three children. The couple, known for their privacy, reside in Miami and are rarely seen in public. Despite her retreat from fame, Kournikova occasionally shares glimpses into her life on social media, where fans are quick to point out that she appears ageless.
Though she retired from tennis due to chronic injuries, Kournikova remains involved in fitness and charity work. Her dedication to staying healthy and active is evident, and her lasting influence on the sport and pop culture continues to resonate with fans.
At 43, Anna Kournikova is living proof that while time may move on, true icons never fade—they simply evolve.
