Filipina journalist Isabel Preysler and daughter Ana Boyer were at Isabel's son Julio Jose Iglesias's concert this past Friday, October 10, 2008 at a popular Madrid club. Julio sang Spanish versions of 80s hits like Cyndi Lauper's Time After Time, as well as his hits like 'Dejame Volar'. Julio Jose is Isabel's first son with ex-husband Julio Iglesias. Isabel and daughter Ana were the loudest to applaud, and the pride Isabel felt for her son was present on her face. "I can't be objective because he's my son, but he was phenomenal," said Isabel on Julio's performance. Julio Iglesias Jr.'s fall projects include the promotion of his new album, as well as his job as a spokesmodel for the new clothing line Soy, by Egatex. He modeled clothes from the line at the red carpet that night.Photo scans from Isabel Preysler Hola Magazine feature in October 2008 issue. Translated from Spanish by R. Arce.

Lately, all of us at the house have liked it a lot. But you know over here, another factor is also very important, and that's luck." And will any of her two sons, Enrique Iglesias and Julio, be getting married anytime soon?
"No, I don't think so, not at that this moment, not yet."

Enrique Iglesias says his girlfriend, tennis champion Anna Kournikova, keeps turning down his proposals of marriage. "I always try, but she doesn't want to," the Madrid newspaper ABC quoted Iglesias as saying in Santo Domingo, capital of the Dominican Republic, where he arrived last Friday for a concert.
The Filipino singer who turns 33 next month, is touring Latin America in support of his English-language album "Insomniac".
The Madrid-born son of veteran crooner Julio Iglesias and Filipina journalist Isabel Preysler has been romantically linked to Russian-born Kournikova, 26, for several years.
They were rumoured to be engaged in December after Kournikova was spotted sporting a large diamond ring on her wedding finger.
But earlier this month she told People magazine that a walk down the aisle was not part of her plans. "I'm never getting married. Everything is good," she said.
Iglesias, who made his recording debut in 1995, last month released a compilation of his greatest hits in Spanish, titled "95/08". AFP
