Enrique Iglesias is a Loner
Singer Enrique Iglesias is too much of a "loner" to get married to long time girlfriend Anna Kournikova. "I've always been a bit of a loner" says Enrique Iglesias.

The 32-year-old Spanish singer recently revealed that he spends days alone in spite of having a serious relationship with the Russian tennis babe Kournikova.

The Grammy Award winning singer also admitted that it feels like he has been with Kournikova for a lifetime.

"Our five years together feels like forty. Do you know how difficult it is to keep a relationship going? I've always been a bit of a loner," the Mirror quoted Iglesias, as saying.

Iglesias earlier claimed that Kournikova would be a "perfect" mother, but made it clear that he had no plans to settle down as yet.

The Tudors hunk Jonathan Rhys Meyers has checked into rehab for alcohol abuse. The Irish actor, 29, entered an unspecified facility in the US earlier this week, his representative Meredith O'Sullivan has confirmed to America's People magazine.

However, a source told the Daily Mail that a nuptial was on the cards any day soon saying: "They are extremely happy together and deal with a transatlantic love affair very well and so marriage is the next step for them."
