ENRIQUE IGLESIAS - ENRIQUE: I WON'T WED ANNA

Pop hunk ENRIQUE IGLESIAS has given some clues to the end of his relationship with ANNA KOURNIKOVA - he wants to spend

at least eight more years "playing" before he gets married.

The Spanish HERO hunk was yesterday (4DEC03) said to have split from the sexy Russian tennis ace, but pals predicted they will rekindle their volatile romance.

But Enrique gave a real hint about Anna's dissatisfaction in an interview given before the split.

He tells British magazine NOW, "Marriage does my head in. It's made into such a big deal. To me it's too much of a headache. It's like, 'Jesus, man, I'm only 27.' It's all too much!

"I'll get married between the ages of 35 and 40 - I've got eight years of playing before then. At my age, I'm far too young to commit - I wouldn't be able to handle it. That kind of responsibility is going too far. These years are for going out and enjoying myself."

But all is not lost for the pair's romance - Enrique insists, "Although I'm enjoying myself, it doesn't mean I can't have a girlfriend. I'm a one-woman man while I'm with Anna - there has to be some level of trust and loyalty. But I don't have to get married."
