ReutersLOS ANGELES - A report in People magazine conflicted with earlier reports that tennis player Anna Kournikova had secretly married her boyfriend, Latin singer Enrique Iglesias.
Us Weekly magazine reported last Tuesday that the pair had married.
The magazine said Kournikova, 23, was spotted wearing a wedding band on her ring finger at a charity tennis event in Florida Sunday. When asked about her relationship with Iglesias, she was heard telling onlookers; “Enrique is great. Everything is awesome. We are married,” Us reported.
But an anonymous source told People magazine that the earlier report was not true.
"They definitely did not get married," the source said. "They're very happy together, but marriage is not something that they're planning in their lives right now."
The source told People that the ring Kournikova was wearing on her wedding finger is not a wedding band.
Kournikova and the Latin crooner, 29, have been dating since she appeared playing his girlfriend in the 2002 music video for his hit “Escape” and have jokingly claimed in the past to be married.
Representatives for the pair have declined to confirm the Us report, but the magazine, quoting unidentified sources, said they were wed on the beach in the Mexican resort of Puerto Vallarta a few weeks ago. Kournikova’s publicist said “We never comment on her personal life.”
“It was a very small and secret wedding -- only family and a few very close friends were invited,” the source told the magazine.
Kournikova first wowed crowds as a teenager in the 1990s and became known as the “Britney Spears of tennis” although she never won a major tournament before announcing her retirement from professional tennis in March 2004.
Iglesias, the son of Spanish singer Julio Iglesias, sings in both Spanish and English and has had worldwide hits with songs such as “Bailamos” and “Hero”.
