Former Russian pro-tennis star Anna Kournikova, 43, was seen in the parking lot of Bal Harbour Shops in Miami on Saturday. This marks the first time she has been seen in public in two years. The New York Post reported that the mother-of-three appeared to be recovering from a leg injury, but the cause of the injury was unknown. Kournikova has led a relatively private life since she retired from tennis in 2003 at the age of 21 because of injuries. She and her partner, musician Enrique Iglesias, 49, have three children: Twins Lucy and Nicholas, 7, and Mary, 4. Their two girls were present on the outing, along with friends, and an unidentified woman pushing Kournikova‘s wheelchair. In October, Iglesias told People that when he met Kournikova on the set of his Escape music video in 2001, “We just started connecting little by little and got stronger and stronger and stronger.”
