avec sa compagne dont il a 5 enfants, une ancienne mannequin hollandaise
Iglesias' father's family was from Galicia and Iglesias' mother, who was of Jewish origines
il a chanté en israel il y a 3 ans et y a fait des révélations sur sa judeité
...
Sitting on a bar stool between songs, Iglesias took several moments to share anecdotes about his personal connection to Israel. Quite surprising to the audience was his avowal that his mother was Jewish and that he himself was "Jewish from the waist up." IN REGARD to the conflict in the region, Iglesias warmly said that he "understands your feelings and your fight," prompting a resounding round of applause from the audience. Iglesias also remarked on his past travels through the country and emphasized that Israel "is a part of my life" and that playing to an Israeli audience "is an honor." Argentinean-born Israeli Nora Laybman of Modi'in was finally able to witness all of the romantic songs she had become so familiar with growing up. She believes that "Iglesias's romanticism is universal." And Laybman, who was lucky enough to acquire front row tickets, was in a good position to get an up-close impression of just how romantic Iglesias really is. Also in the front row were plenty of other women who still hold adoration for the suave crooner. Throughout the show, female fans were presenting the Spaniard with bouquets of red roses and gifts. Iglesias's mentioning of past Israeli girlfriends from his first trip to Israel in 1974 only seemed to encourage the fans to sing a bit louder. Indeed, Julio Iglesias has unmatched debonair credentials, and he lived up to his reputation as a man of passion. Despite his advice in between songs on the proper dosage of Viagra for sexual vitality and how he "makes love" with his songs on stage, it was actually more personally revealing to the attendees to hear of his Jewish mother's ancestral roots. Now his Israeli fans have another great reason to love him and his "body" of work - from the waist up as well.
