Enrique Iglesias insists he is having more sex than ever with Anna Kournikova after the pair became parents
HIS last album was Sex And Love, and Enrique Iglesias is getting more of both since he became a dad.
In December, girlfriend Anna Kournikova had twins Nicholas and Lucy, and the singer says the arrivals have done wonders for his love life.
In an exclusive interview, the singer said: “It’s probably more sex now than ever. The sex has not diminished.”
The couple met in 2001 when the tennis champ starred in his video for Escape, but they chose to stay tight-lipped about their relationship — even trying to conceal Anna’s pregnancy until their twins had arrived.
Now opening up about their romance in detail for the first time, he said: “Like any couple, you still go through your ups and downs and it’s not always perfect. But it is perfect in a way.
“It’s incredible to watch her be such a great mother.
“It’s incredible to watch a mum do what she does, when a mother’s instinct kicks in.”
Enrique visits the UK later this month for his All The Hits Live tour, kicking off at London’s O2 Arena on October 19, with dates in Dublin, Glasgow and Manchester before ending on October 27 in Birmingham Genting Arena.
But it could be the last chance to see him — as he is considering packing in his career.
In news that will worry his millions of fans, the Spaniard explained: “There are days when I’d be lying if I said that stopping didn’t cross my mind . . . that probably could come a reality in the near future.
“When I was 19 and travelling around the world with my first album, there were times I would think, ‘Oh man, maybe I should stop doing this. I need to take a break’. And that has crossed my mind over the years.
“But now it has crossed my mind a few more times than before.
“Maybe I don’t see myself doing anything other than a few albums and that’s it. Then, never doing anything again other than being a dad.”
Can’t blame him. If I woke up next to Anna Kournikova every day I might well think twice about spending months on tour too.

Taylor gets into politics
TAYLOR Swift has never been one to speak publicly about her political beliefs.
But that all changed when she showed her support for the Democrats in a lengthy post online – a view directly opposed to her music rival Kanye West.
It comes after Kanye, who has praised Republican Donald Trump, pledged to run for President in 2024.
Speaking out politically for the first time, Taylor wrote on Instagram: “I’ve been reluctant to publicly voice my political opinions, but due to several events in my life and in the world in the past two years, I feel very differently about that now.
“I always have and always will cast my vote based on which candidate will protect and fight for the human rights I believe we all deserve.”
Taylor then backed two Democrats in her home state of Tennessee for the upcoming US midterm elections on November 6.
She also urged fans to register to vote.
With 112million followers, that’s sure to make an impact.

CHARLI XCX had to scrap the majority of her third album when the tracks leaked online – but she has finally come to terms with losing the tunes.
In an exclusive chat, she said: “I am at peace with it now. There are some songs that have been leaked that my fans really wanted a proper release for, like Girls Night Out and No Angel, so I honoured that.
“But I guess I’ve just got to change my password.”
Charli, who has just released brilliant new single 1999 and is playing G-A-Y night at Heaven, central London, this Saturday, is planning a collaboration with fellow Brit Dua Lipa.
She said: “I love her. We’ve spoken about it so many times. We’re like, ‘Let’s do it’. But she’s f*****g busy.
“I do think it’s something that our fanbases would really like.
“If we have as much fun in the studio as we do partying, then it’s going to be great. I’m definitely down for that.”
I’m sure it will happen in Dua course.

Spiritual healing for Katy
KATY Perry is in bridal white – as she credits boyfriend Orlando Bloom for helping her to battle her demons.
The popstar struck her fiercest pose as she donned a bold gown and matching heels in a shoot for Footwear News.
It comes as Katy reveals she feels “fearless” despite battling periods of depression – thanks to the support of Orlando and her family.
The American Idol judge said: “I’ve done a lot of work lately in the past year on my mental health, on my spiritual and emotional side. My sister lives next door to me, my family is not really fazed by anything.
“They’re proud of me, but they don’t put me on a pedestal – everybody is pretty normcore.
“My boyfriend is a great anchor.”
Katy is now planning on having a break after being “on the road for like ten years”.
Hopefully she won’t spend too much of her time off paddle-boarding with Orlando after those eye-popping pictures.

No sales Decline for Raye
SHE is a pop star, model, songwriter – and now Raye is a shoe seller, too.
The singer has landed a deal as the face of Timberland’s Celebrate The Icons campaign and has released a video for a remix of 2017 hit Decline especially for the brand.
But she has not given up the day job, and has been writing tunes for Rihanna and Cheryl Tweedy’s new projects as well as Little Mix’s fifth album. Teasing what fans can expect from the girlband, Raye said: “They recorded some of the songs I did and they sound really good.
The girls are so talented vocally but you don’t really hear it in their songs, so this record is really going to show that.”
With their comeback tune Woman Like Me out this Friday, there’s not long to wait.
