| Enrique Iglesias Joins Beckham's | Fan Roster |
| | Add one more major name to hop the David Beckham bandwagon: Enrique Iglesias. "He's a great guy, really down to earth," the Latin crooner – and soccer fan – tells PEOPLE. "I think he can do for soccer here what Wayne Gretzky did for hockey and Michael Jordan did for basketball. If anyone can further the sport here in America, David Beckham is the man." Iglesias, 32, solidified his opinion of the new arrival to these shores after a chance encounter with the Beckhams Saturday night at Hollywood's Chateau Marmont. Iglesias was dining at the hotspot, while the sports star and his wife, Victoria Beckham were with friends nearby. It was the Beckhams – hand in hand – who first approached the singer's table. A source aware of the get-together says of Iglesias, "So immediately he was quizzing David about his playing days starting in England. They were talking World Cup and all that." But Victoria soon turned the tables on the pop star, teasing him to open up about his notoriously private love life with Anna Kournikova. "Victoria was like, when are you going to get married? What's the deal with you and Anna?" says the source. "She was like, what's the real deal, you can tell me." As for Iglesias's response, like a deft soccer goalie, he gracefully batted the questions back without answering |
| Enrique Iglesias Only Joking About Anna | Kournikova 'Divorce' |
| | Enrique Iglesias sparked a slew of breakup rumors when he told Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet that he and Anna Kournikova had been secretly married – and were now divorced. "We're divorced. I am single now, but that's okay," he told the newspaper. "I don't mind being alone." But a Kournikova pal tells PEOPLE that Iglesias was only joking, and his rep adds that, after five years, "They are still together." In 2004, rumors circulated that the singer and the Russian tennis player, 25, had tied the knot in a secret ceremony in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, but a source told PEOPLE at the time that it wasn't true. Just last month, Iglesias, 32, told PEOPLE en Español his romance with Kournikova, 25, was "the only serious relationship I've had in my life." But when asked if he sees himself with her down the road, he said: "I don't know. The only thing I can say is that, in my opinion, Anna, whether we are together or not, would be an ideal mother." |
