Early life

Iglesias was born in Madrid, the eldest son of Dr. Julio Iglesias Puga and María del Rosario de la Cueva y Perignat. Iglesias’ father’s family was from Galicia, and Iglesias’ mother an Andalusian.

In the 1960s, he studied law in Madrid and was a goalkeeper for one of Real Madrid‘s[5] football teams. On September 22, 1963, he was involved in a car crash, resulting in an injury to his spinal cord.[6] He said, “I had a car accident; [a] very, very strange car accident…I lost control of the car and rolled it, resulting in what they call ‘paraparexia,’ which is not paraplegia. It’s a compression in the [spinal] cord, in the sense of the neck…my spinal cord; and I was very, very ill for three years.” His doctors thought he would never walk again; indeed, his legs were left permanently weakened, and they continued to require therapy as of late October 2010. However, slowly, he began recovering his health. To develop and increase the dexterity of his hands, he began playing guitar.[6] When he recovered from his accident, he resumed academic studies and traveled to the United Kingdom to study the English language, first in Ramsgate, then at Bell Educational Trust‘s Language School in Cambridge.

In 1971, he married Spanish Filipino[7] journalist Isabel Preysler and had three children, Chabeli Iglesias, Julio Iglesias, Jr. and Enrique Iglesias. Their marriage was annulled in 1979. In 1981 his father, Julio Iglesias Puga, Sr, was kidnapped by Basque terrorists but found alive two weeks later, prompting Julio Iglesias to move his children to Miami, Florida.[8]

On August 24, 2010, Julio Iglesias and Miranda Rijnsburger got married after a 20-year relationship. The religious ceremony was celebrated in the Parish of the Virgen del Carmen of Marbella, and was followed by a Mass of thanksgiving in the chapel on the property the couple owns in the same city.[9] The couple has three sons and twin daughters: Miguel (born September 7, 1997), Rodrigo (born April 3, 1999), Victoria and Cristina (born May 1, 2001) and Guillermo (born May 5, 2007).[10] After Iglesias was 60 years old, his 89 year old father produced more children: half-brother Jaime born May 18, 2004; and half sister Ruth born July 26, 2006. Julio’s half siblings were a product of Dr. Iglesias Puga’s second marriage, to Ronna Keitt.[11]

In 1968, he won the Benidorm International Song Festival, a songwriter’s event in Spain, with the song “La vida sigue igual” (meaning “Life Goes On The Same”) which was used in the film La vida sigue igual, about his own life.
