Anna Kournikova has long preferred shadows over spotlights, but a string of recent, rare appearances has shattered the silence — and revealed parts of her life she’s rarely let the world see. From unexpected wheelchair outings to a visible baby bump, Anna is going through a chapter that feels more raw, emotional, and real than anything we’ve seen since her early retirement.
👀 A Wheelchair in Miami: Health Scare Ignites Concern
Earlier this year, for the first time in nearly two years, Kournikova was spotted emerging from her life away from cameras — in a wheelchair, no less. It was at a high-end shopping complex in Miami, where she wore a medical boot on one foot and was helped through by friends. Accompanied by her daughters, she appeared guarded yet composed. The photos triggered waves of speculation: what had changed? And how badly was she hurt? Sources later confirmed it was a sprained foot — a “minor injury,” some said — but the image of the former tennis icon mobility-impaired stirred something deeper in fans.
👶 Then, the Baby Bump Surprise
Barely months after that unsettling hospital-adjacent outing, Anna stepped out again — this time, visibly pregnant. Out in Miami, dressed casually yet with her silhouette unmistakable, she was seen holding hands with her son. The baby bump confirmed the rumors: she’s expecting her fourth child with partner Enrique Iglesias. The couple, already parents to twins Lucy and Nicholas, 7, and daughter Mary, 5, now appear overjoyed at this growing new life. And many were moved not just by the joy, but by how much courage this must take, particularly after health concerns
🧭 A Life Lived in Quiet Transitions
These moments mark a sharp contrast to the woman who once retired at 21 because of injury, fading from public view thereafter. Now, Anna’s story feels less like retreat and more like an unfolding transformation. The wheelchair sighting, the bump, the choice of dressing loose, keeping things private — all signs she’s rewriting the narrative on her own terms.
💔 Strength, Vulnerability, and a New Joy
There’s something powerful in Anna’s vulnerability. For years, she’s been “the former tennis player,” the partner of a global star, a mother — but not often someone who showed wounds. The wheelchair appearance reminded us she’s human. The pregnancy reminded us she’s hopeful. And both together remind us she’s resilient.
