Early life
Iglesias was born in Madrid, Spain, and is the third and youngest child of the internationally famous Spanish singer Julio Iglesias and socialite and magazine journalist Isabel Preysler. Isabel's aunt is actress Neile Adams, the first wife of American actor Steve McQueen; Iglesias is a half-second cousin of actor Steven R. McQueen (who is Neile's grandson). He was raised with two older siblings: Chabeli and Julio. His mother is a Filipina, of part Spanish ancestry, and his father is Spanish, with family from Galicia and Andalusia. His father has also claimed Jewish and Puerto Rican ancestry on his mother's side. His parents divorced in 1979.
At first, Iglesias and his two siblings stayed with their mother, but in 1986, Iglesias' grandfather, Dr. Julio Iglesias Puga, was kidnapped by the armed Basque terrorist group ETA. For their safety, Enrique and his brother Julio were sent to live with their father in Miami.There, they were brought up mostly by the nanny, Elvira Olivares, to whom he later dedicated his first album.He also lived in Belgrade, Serbia, for one year with his mother. As his father's career kept him on the road, the young Iglesias was raised by the family nanny.He attended the prestigious Gulliver Preparatory School and later went on to study business at the University of Miami.
Iglesias 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. He borrowed money from his family nanny and he recorded a demo cassette tape which consisted of a Spanish song and two English songs. Approaching his father's former publicist, Fernán Martínez, the two promoted the songs under the stage name 'Enrique Martínez' with the backstory of being an unknown singer from Guatemala. Iglesias was signed on to Fonovisa Records. After dropping out of
