Enrique Iglesias is too busy to marry Anna Kournikova, says his mom

The pop star's mother Isabel Preysler blames son's packed schedule for delay in tying the knot with the former Russian tennis star

Former Russian tennis star Anna Kournikova and pop-star Enrique Iglesias were to tie the knot on Valentine's Day.
But the Spanish singer's mother Isabel Preysler has dispelled the rumours, revealed that Enrique's packed work schedule is delaying the wedding plans of the couple, who began dating in 2001.

Though the glamorous couple's relationship has been quite lengthy as compared to the relationships of other American pop stars, they are yet to be married and do not have any kids.
There has been constant reports about the couple's marital status with some newspapers even claiming they have got married and subsequently divorced.
Speaking about her son, Preysler said, "It pains me that he works so much and he misses things in life that he should be enjoying at his age, but he is very happy."

Supportive Anna
"Enrique is not very much about partying. Plus, Anna supports him in everything, and they get along very well. At the same time, if they were married, his absence would be very difficult for her," the 64-year-old was quoted as saying by the Spanish Vogue.
"I have been less careful with other things, for example, I've had too much sun ... With Julio we literally lived under the sun," she said.
The 39-year-old Enrique had earlier stated that his long-standing relationship with his 33-year-old girlfriend did not need the seal of marriage to be successful.

Enrique Iglesias Has No Intention of Marrying Anna Kournikova: It Won't "Make Us Happier"

Enrique Iglesias doesn't see the point in getting married. Luckily, Anna Kournikova feels the same way.

The singer opens up about his relationship with the retired tennis pro in an interview for CBS Sunday Morning, airing March 16. "I'm not against marriage, not at all," he tells Rita Braver, before adding that it's not in his future. "But when you've been with someone for such a long time, I don't think it's going to make—bring us closer together. I don't think it's going to...make us any happier."

Enrique, 38, met Kournikova, 32, when the athlete appeared in his 2001 "Escape" music video. "She was just the coolest girl in the world to me," the Latin pop star recalls. "And we just, we got along."

Enrique also addresses rumors that he is estranged from his famous father, Spanish singer-songwriter Julio Iglesias. "I love him, and I respect him dearly. But we don't see each other that much," Enrique says of his dad. "You know, he knows if he ever needed me, I'd be the first one there, and vice versa."

His personal life aside, Enrique is excited about the March 18 release of his new album, Sex and Love. "When you write songs, when you're on stage, it's all about the vibe," says the singer, whose last CD, Euphoria, dropped in July 2010. "If you're not vibing and you're not feeling good, people notice that."
