Enrique Miguel Iglesias Preysler (born on May 8, 1975), better known as Enrique Iglesias, is a Spanish-Filipino pop music singer-songwriter, model, and actor.

Iglesias started his musical career with Mexican Indie label Fonovisa, which helped turn him into one of the most popular artists in Latin America and in the Latino market in the United States, selling more Spanish language albums than any other artist in that period of time.

Before the turn of the millennium he made a crossover into the mainstream English language market, signing a unique multi-album deal with Universal Music for an unprecedented $48,000,000, with Universal Music Latino to release his Spanish albums and Interscope to release English albums.

Iglesias has sold over 60 million albums worldwide,[1] has had two Billboard Hot 100 #1s and one #3, and holds the record for producing 19 number #1 Spanish-language singles on the Billboard's Hot Latin Tracks.

Iglesias was born in Madrid, Spain, the third and final child of Spanish singer Julio Iglesias and Filipina socialite and Hola! magazine journalist Isabel Preysler.[2][3] His parents divorced in 1978, and the following year their father moved to Miami, Florida to continue with his musical career.

In 1983, Iglesias' grandfather, Dr. Julio Iglesias Puga was kidnapped by the terrorist group ETA. Fearing for his grandchildren's safety, he along with his brother was sent to live with their father in Miami.

In America he lived the life of a typical Miami teen. Though his father's career kept him on the road, the young Iglesias was raised by the family Nanny. In 1993 he graduated from Gulliver Preparatory School and went on to study Business at the University of Miami.

Enrique did not want his father to know about his plans for a musical career, and did not want his famous surname to help advance his career. Borrowing money from his family Nanny he recorded a demo tape which consisted of one Spanish song and two English songs. Approaching his father's former publicist Fernan Martinez, the two shopped the demo tape under the stage name 'Enrique Martinez' with the backstory of being an unknown from Guatemala. Iglesias was signed by a then small indie record label called Fonovisa. Dropping out of college he went to Toronto, Ontario for six months to record his first album.

Since the beginning of his career the media have linked Iglesias to many women, though due to his generally private nature it's difficult to know which claims are true and which are fabrications. Most notably Iglesias has been linked with Sofia Vergara, Samantha Torres, and allegedly dated Alicia Machado for a brief period. After crossing over into English he was strongly linked in the media to Jennifer Love Hewitt, with whom he remained friends and who co–starred in the music video for Hero a year later.

For six years now he publicly has dated tennis star Anna Kournikova, whom he met on the set of his music video Escape. Many reports showed up since 2007 of their splitting. In 2008, after Enrique made a publicity joke,[15] there were reports of the couple's having been married formerly and now divorced. Enrique has stated subsequently in interviews that it was simply a joke, and that they are still very much together.

Iglesias has publicly stated he suffers from insomnia,[16] and that even heavy-duty sleep aids often do not work for him.[17]

In 2003 Iglesias had his trademark facial mole removed.[18]

Iglesias is very well known for not taking the media seriously and has consistently joked about a wide variety of matters including the state of his relationship - as mentioned above - as well as the size of his manhood. The latter story persisted for so long Iglesias had to retract his earlier statement and try to set the record straight.[19]
