Enrique Iglesias has revealed his newborn daughter’s name – and her adorable nickname.

The Hero singer and Anna Kournikova welcomed their third child, a baby girl, in late January. And in a chat with PEOPLE earlier this week, the singer revealed the newborn’s name is Mary – but they will also be using Masha, the Russian version of her name, as a nickname.

He also spoke about how the couple’s eldest children – two-year-old twins Lucy and Nicholas – are coping in their new roles as older siblings.

“They actually love it,” he said. “There’s a two-year difference, so I was a little scared. I was like, ‘How are they going to react?’ And I have two dogs so my house is chaotic. When we first came home with Masha, I was like, ‘Oh, how is everybody going to react?’ “

Mid-last month, the singer’s brother revealed that Iglesias and Kournikova were now parents-of-three – with the notoriously private pair confirming the news themselves a few days later.

The couple both shared photos with baby Mary – revealing in the caption that she had been born on January 30.

“My Sunshine 01.30.2020,” Iglesias captioned the photo of himself holding his newborn daughter.

Kournikova later shared a photo fo her own, which showed her holding her daughter, as Iglesias kissed her on the forehead.

The couple kept Anna’s pregnancy under wraps, but photos obtained earlier this year by Hola! Spain showed them on a yacht in Miami, with Kournikova dressed down with a blue hoodie covering what appears to be a baby bump.

Neither Kournikova or Iglesias publicly commented on her pregnancy before the Instagram posts.
