ENRIQUE IGLESIAS - IGLESIAS AND KOURNIKOVA ENGAGED?

Pop idol ENRIQUE IGLESIAS is reportedly engaged to his tennis star lover ANNA KOURNIKOVA.

The Russian blonde flashed a $5.4 million (GBP3 million) diamond ring on her engagement finger as she strolled around Melbourne, Australia yesterday (16MAR04).

The HERO hitmaker, 28, splashed out on the jewel - from the world's biggest mind in Argyle, Western Australia - in between his tour dates in the Antipodean country.

A friend of the couple told British tabloid THE DAILY STAR, "His relationship with Anna has been a bit of a rollercoaster but they've always come back to each other.

"Now Enrique appears to have decided he wants to stick with Anna for good. Giving an Argyle diamond is really pushing the boat out. But he's saying he wants to settle down with Anna, even though no date for marriage has been arranged."

The handsome couple have been dating on and off since Kournikova starred in the singer's ESCAPE video in 2002.
