Enrique Iglesias loves independent women

London: Spanish pop star Enrique Iglesias is attracted towards women who have a sense of independence in them. The `Hero` hitmaker, who has been dating tennis ace Anna Kournikova for eight years now, thinks independence coupled with strength makes for a perfect woman, Contactmusic reported.

"I think independence in a woman is a great quality. Someone who you know doesn`t necessarily depend on you. I know women or men that need someone to lean on. It`s good to be independent and strong," he said. The 35-year-old singer also said that he cannot date a girl who hampered his music career. "You need to be with someone who doesn`t get in the way of what you love. If you love your job, someone that doesn`t create any type of barrier between that. That, for me, is a big turn-off," he said. PTI
