Goalkeeper, and Filipino-Spanish socialite Isabel Preysler.

He began his career in 1995 with his self-titled debut album. Subsequent releases would ensure his place in the "Latin pop explosion" of the 1990s, alongside peers Music/RickyMartin and Music/JenniferLopez. Iglesias began to cross over into the English language market, first with the Spanglish hit "Bailamos" and then with the English album ''Enrique''. He steadily released music until the 2014 album ''Sex and Love''. He would release singles thereafter until claiming that the two-parter album ''Final'' (the first installment of which was released in 2021) would be his last.
