Iglesias 'joking' when he confirmed Kournikova split

Enrique Iglesias was joking when he announced his split from Anna Kournikova and they are still together.

The Spanish heart-throb told journalists during a promotional visit to Sweden that he had split with the former tennis ace.

He said: "We've split. I'm single now and it's OK. I don't mind being single."

But the star has told British magazine Hello he was joking.

During an interview with the publication, Iglesias revealed the Russian is still the love of his life. He says: "It is the first serious relationship I've had in my life."
