Latin pop star Enrique Iglesias regrets once making a joke about having a "small penis" as it blighted his love life.

The 32-year-old made the remark at the beginning of his music career, before he started dating tennis star Anna Kournikova six years ago - and insists the rumors have followed him around ever since.

Iglesias is convinced it may have put off some prospective lovers but insists his girlfriends have always found out the myth is not true.

He says, "I said I had a small penis as a joke. And they took it literally when it is not the truth. So when people find out it's not the case they are pleasantly surprised."
