Enrique Iglesias

Enrique Iglesias is a Spanish singer and the son of singer Julio Iglesias and journalist Isabel Preysler. After his parents’ divorce, he moved to Miami, where he was largely raised by his nanny, Elvira Olivares. He attended Gulliver Preparatory School before enrolling at the University of Miami to study business, but he dropped out to pursue music.

Iglesias secretly recorded a demo under the name Enrique Martínez and secured a deal with Fonovisa Records. His 1995 self-titled debut album was a massive success and sold over half a million copies in its first week. The album went on to win him the Grammy Award for Best Latin Pop Performance.

The singer later crossed over into the English-language market after signing with Interscope Records, and released his English album Enrique in 1999, which included the chart-topping single “Bailamos.” The song was featured in the 1999 film Wild Wild West and hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Throughout his career, Iglesias has released multiple hit albums, including Escape, Insomniac and Sex and Love, producing popular songs like “I Like It,” “Duele el Corazón,” and “El Perdón.” He has acquired a number of accolades throughout his career and is one of the best-selling Latin artists of all time. In 2021, he announced that his two-part project Final would be his last album; he released the first half in 2021 and the second in 2024.

Iglesias has been in a relationship with tennis player Anna Kournikova since 2001. The couple share three children: twins Nicholas and Lucy (born in 2017) and daughter Mary (born in 2020).
