Anna Kournikova made a low-key appearance over the weekend when she was photographed out with her children and their friends. 

The former golden girl of tennis sparked concern as she was using a wheelchair and sporting an orthopaedic boot, suggestive she may have had surgery. 

Anna's husband, Enrique Iglesias was not in attendance as the mom-of-three was pushed by a friend at Bal Harbour shopping mall in Miami, Florida.

Despite needing assistance, Anna looked in good spirits as she laughed with the group and tended to her little girls, Lucy, seven, and Maria, four. 

Anna and Enrique are also parents to Lucy's twin, Nicholas, who was not photographed.

The group appeared to be celebrating a birthday as they carried a big, pink balloon for the outing. 

It's likely they were ringing in Maria's upcoming birthday as she turns five on January 30.

Anna was dressed down for the occasion in casual black sweats, with her hair scraped back into a messy bun and wearing sunglasses. 

In one image, Anna's bandaged finger could also be seen. 

Anna and Enrique are incredibly private and keep their family out of the spotlight.

While the "Bailando" singer continues his music career, Anna retired from tennis in 2003 after a series of painful injuries. She was just 21.

Anna spoke to People about her retirement and said: "I never planned or thought that was going to be it. My back really forced me to stop. It got so bad I couldn't tie my shoes, literally. I would be in excruciating pain.

I had been doing six to eight hours [of training] every day since I was five years old. It was very interesting to me to stop playing and to figure out, 'Who am I without tennis?' It was very difficult and scary as hell. I did everything from therapy to 10-hour walks on the beach to discover, and think, and try new things." 

She's thrown herself into being a hands-on mom and Enrique spoke about his kids and family life last year while promoting his new music. 

"I'm relaxing at home with the kids, enjoying taking them to school and watching them grow," he said at the 40 Music Awards.

"I have twins that are six and a girl who is four, so every day they grow so fast. I want to enjoy that. In 24 hours they're already grown."

Enrique has said he will not release any more albums but will continue to produce singles. 

After having children, he confessed: "It's difficult to leave them for two days or two weeks. It's not easy."

The couple have been together since 2001 when they met on the set of Enrique's music video for "Escape."

The few photos they have shared of their children prove they're a beautiful family.
