Reclusive former tennis star Anna Kournikova recently emerged in public for the first time in years. The 43-year-old was spotted shopping at Bal Harbour Shops in Miami, Florida on a wheelchair, sparking concern about her health.

Wearing black-tinted sunglasses with a matching black hoodie and sweatpants, Kournikova was sitting in a wheelchair with an orthopedic boot on one of her feet. She was accompanied by her two daughters and several friends. 

In the late 1990’s and early 2000’s, Kournikova became an international tennis darling thanks to her sterling performance on the court and her supermodel look. At one point, she reached world No. 1 in doubles and was a two-time Grand Slam winner partnering with Switzerland’s Martina Hingis. In 2003, due to frequent back and spinal injuries, Kournikova was forced to retire at the age of 21. She has largely kept herself out of the limelight since then. 

Kournikova has been in a relationship with singer Enrique Iglesias since 2001. Their link-up first became public after she appeared on the singer’s 2001 music video for “Escape”. The two share three children, fraternal twins – a son and a daughter – born in 2017 and another daughter born in 2020. She would make rare appearances online to pay tribute to her longtime partner on his birthdays and Father’s Day, making the Miami sighting especially extraordinary.
