Don't Buy Into The Kournikova Engagement Hype

Rumors are swirling that Anna Kournikova is engaged to Enrique Iglesias. The blondy was "flashing a sizable diamond ring on her left hand" while watching a night match at this week's World Team Tennis in King of Prussia, PA. She later deflected to answer the question when asked by the Associated Press.

No, this isn't a case of deja vu that you are experiencing. This story is indeed surfacing yet again. Don't you remember? The Hasty believes that, once again, it is inaccurate to assume that Anna is engaged for the following reason: they tried to pull this exact stunt off previously, in fact about a year and a half ago to be precise. Let me jog your memory. Here was the report:

Are Enrique Iglesias and Anna Kournikova Engaged? - 2007
December 5, 2007

Tennis babe Anna Kournikova has been spotted wearing a $6 million diamond ring, sparking rumors her long-time boyfriend Enrique Iglesias has proposed to her. Enrique – who has been dating Anna since meeting on the set of his ‘Escape’ video on 2002- has refused to comment on the engagement rumors. Anna was snapped wearing the triple gold-band ‘engagement’ ring on her left hand on Tuesday in London, where Enrique is doing promotion. The Daily Star quotes an ‘onlooker’ as saying: “They certainly both seemed quite smug about something and Anna seemed to be sporting a Russian wedding ring.”

Now unless they canceled that engagement (which there is no evidence of) then it wasn't true, so The Hasty has to put serious doubt on this new report. I don't know if I'm going out on a limb here, but could this just be another publicity ploy? The new rumor did successfully put them on the NY Post's Page Six. I wonder if we could get a comparison of the rings she was wearing in the recent citing versus the 2007 citing. Want to bet they are the same ring? I'm not sure we'll ever know. But if I was a betting man, I'd say Anna Kournikova is still very much "not-engaged." What she is in actuality is in the news again, now twice in two weeks. Goal accomplished Kournikova camp.
