Phew. All seems well with one of Miami’s most under the radar celebrities.

We’re talking about Anna Kournikova.

The former tennis pro sparked concern a few weeks back when a bystander snapped her at Bal Harbour Shops being rolled around in a wheelchair, sporting a medical boot.

On Wednesday, celebrity mag Hola! posted pictures of Kournikova looking just fine out on a boat enjoying our great spring weather. She was seen on deck with her longtime partner, pop star Enrique Iglesias, and one of their three kids, 7-year-old Nicholas.

Though her legs are not shown in the grainy photos and you have no way of knowing if the boot is gone, Kournikova was standing and walking around, and definitely not in a wheelchair.

Regardless, whatever health issue she was dealing with wasn’t anything to worry about, according to Iglesias’ mother.

Soon after the mall snaps went viral, Isabel Preysler was asked by paparazzi what was wrong while she was at the airport waiting to fly back to Spain.

“It’s nothing serious, just a minor foot injury,” reported the socialite. “It’s a small sprain, but you know how painful those can be.”
