On May 8, 2025, Enrique Iglesias, the internationally acclaimed Latin pop artist, marks his 50th birthday. Known for his chart-topping hits and dynamic performances, Iglesias has spent decades captivating audiences worldwide.
Born in Madrid in 1975 to singer Julio Iglesias and socialite Isabel Preysler, Enrique was raised in Miami following his grandfather’s kidnapping in 1981.

His debut album in 1995 launched his career, leading to international recognition and a Grammy Award in 1997.
Iglesias’s transition from romantic ballads to mainstream pop solidified his status in the music industry. With hits like “Bailamos,” “Hero,” and “Bailando,” he has achieved nine number-one songs on LOS40 over four decades. In 2024, he announced he would no longer produce albums but continues to perform live. Notably, he is set to headline the Granca Live Fest in the Canary Islands on July 5, 2025, marking his first performance in Spain since 2019.
Personal Life. Iglesias maintains a private life with partner Anna Kournikova and their three children. The couple resides in Miami, where they focus on family life away from the public eye. Recent photographs captured Iglesias teaching his son Nicholas how to fish, highlighting his dedication to fatherhood.
