Spanish pop hunk Enrique Iglesias has confirmed his romance with ANNA KOURNIKOVA is still going strong, throwing out doubts about the pair's future together.

The HERO singer and his tennis-playing love had reportedly ended their year-long relationship last month (NOV03) amid reports Iglesias had been spotted with Croatian model Monika Jakisic.

However, pals predicted they would soon resume their romance, and the loving twosome are now planning a Christmas (03) vacation at Enrique's mother ISABEL PREYSLER's home in his native Madrid.

On ELLEN DeGENERES' daytime chat show yesterday (16DEC03), a coy Enrique confirmed all is well between the pair, simply saying, "Everything's good. I get embarrassed when they ask me anything about my personal life, but it's good. Everything's good at home."
