Julio Iglesias says son is not getting married!
EXICO CITY – Spanish singer Julio Iglesias on Wednesday denied reports that his son Enrique will marry former tennis star Anna Kournikova this weekend, saying that Enrique had not mentioned this possibility to him.
“I don’t think that my son’s getting married. He would have told me,” said the artist at a press conference in Mexico, where he is on an international concert tour.
Appearing ready to answer any questions, the 69-year-old crooner chatted with reporters and mentioned that he learned about the supposed marriage in the press on Wednesday.
On Tuesday, British tabloid The Sun, in a report citing unnamed sources, said that the younger Iglesias and the Russian tennis beauty were planning to marry next week.
“I think that Enrique has been married for 10 years. I was ‘married’ for 22 years and I had five children and I got married just two years ago, and I think that Enrique is going along that road, too,” Julio added.
Julio Iglesias married Miranda Rijnsburger in 2010 and Enrique Iglesias has been in a relationship with Kournikova since 2002.
Julio Iglesias Says He Will Never Sing With Son Enrique!
Never say never…unless you’re Julio Iglesias. Apparently the legendary Spanish crooner is staying far away from his son Enrique’s recording sessions As he told El Universal, there is zero chance for a musical collaboration between the two.
“Singing with my son is something that would come off as very commercial,” Julio said. I think that he and I will never sing together. If we sing, it will be at a dinner, when he has kids and wants his kids to sing, just like my little ones do. I don’t believe in a public commercial duet between my kids and me.”
Iglesias fans were definitely saddened by the news, but not entirely shocked. In recent months, it seems like a rift has been growing between papa and hijo.
Enrique purposely no-showed at his brother Julio Jr’s wedding. And many tabloids suspected it was because he knew his famous father was going to be there. Perhaps the two are just better off leaving the duets to Tony Bennett.
