The family of Enrique Iglesias , like many families around the world, have been affected by the devastating Coronavirus . His stepfather, Carlos Falcó, the 5th Marquess of Griñón and the father of his half-sister Tamara Falcó, died at the age of 83 after contracting COVID-19. The Hero singer opened his heart to his sister and fans who could be living a similar experience. Enrique also included a photo from his childhood, where he is seen next to his mom Isabel Preysler and Carlos Falcó.

Carlos Falcó, Enrique Iglesias’ stepfather
In the early 1980s, when Enrique was around five years of age, his mother Isabel Preysler married Carlos Falcó. Enrique lived with the pair for the next five years of his life, until the couple split, and it’s obvious that Carlos had a great impact on the singer’s life.

He will live on in our memories,” she concluded.
