Enrique Iglesias rarely shares moments from his private family life, which is exactly why his latest video quickly caught attention — but not for the reasons many expected.
The 50-year-old singer posted a clip featuring his youngest son, Romeo, whom he shares with Anna Kournikova, offering a glimpse into a quiet moment between father and child. In the video, the baby, just three months old, is lying on the grass while Iglesias gently plays with him.
As the moment unfolds, the singer takes the baby by the hands and lifts him up, briefly placing him on his feet, a gesture that seemed playful but immediately sparked a wave of reactions online.
Iglesias added a light caption, “Directed by Lucy and Mary,” referring to his daughters, which suggested the scene may have been encouraged or inspired by the older children in the family.

However, the comments quickly shifted from admiration to concern, as many viewers began questioning the way the baby was being handled. Some pointed out that a child of that age is not physically ready for that kind of movement, while others warned about the sensitivity of a baby’s joints and suggested safer ways to hold him.

The criticism grew as more users shared similar opinions, emphasizing that infants should be supported differently and expressing worry about potential discomfort or harm, even if the moment appeared harmless at first glance.
The video stands out even more because Iglesias and Kournikova are known for keeping their personal life extremely private, rarely sharing details about their children.

The couple first met in 2001 during the filming of one of Iglesias’s music videos, and their connection quickly moved beyond the screen into a long-term relationship that they have kept largely out of the public eye. Over the years, they have built a family together, raising four children: twins Nicholas and Lucy, daughter Mary, and their youngest, Romeo, who was born in December 2025.
Despite the backlash, the video offered a rare look into their life at home, even if it ended up sparking a conversation that many didn’t expect.
