When talking about the physical similarities with the ‘Baila Morena’, singer, Julio Jr. assured that he inherited one of his father’s most distinctive traits: his smile. Asked about the most beautiful memory he has with his brother, Enrique Iglesias, he responded: “Going on tour with him when I was very young.”
Julio also shared that the most meaningful gift from his dad was funding his university education. The 51-year-old Spaniard studied communication at the University of San Francisco in California and then trained in acting in Mexico. Before becoming a singer, he considered working in television and even had a role in the American series Out of the Blue and was a host on The Travel Channel.
When speaking about the qualities that his father likes about him, Julio confessed that the main one is his sense of humor. But undoubtedly one of the most unexpected revelations was the nickname the 80-year-old singer used to call him when he was a child: “Kung Fu.” However, he did not delve into the reasons behind this curious nickname.
His heart is very happy
After his separation last year from the Brazilian Vivi Di Domenico, Julio Iglesias Jr. found love again with the beautiful Cuban model Ariadna Romero, and it seems that things are going smoothly between them.
“I met Ari in the United States, I met her in Miami, specifically... At a restaurant, she was working there and we met and started talking, and we got along very well and became friends. And that’s practically how it all started. We’ve been together for 10 months,” he told ¡HOLA! Spain a few weeks ago.
When asked about the possibility of getting married, he responded, “We have a fairly formal relationship, now I think time will tell everything, right? I have a very nice relationship with her, she seems like a fantastic girl to me, and I’m very happy.” He also revealed that he would like to become a family man. “Yes, it’s something I’ve always wanted, I would love to start a family,” he commented and talked about having “4 or 5 children.”
