Isabelle Preysler: biography and life
As a young girl, Isabelle entered a charity beauty pageant for the Sheraton Hotel in Manila and won it brilliantly (despite her small height of 1.7 meters). After this event, representatives of the magazine with a dubious reputation began to pursue the young model for the purpose of cooperation. This seriously worried her parents, so at the age of 18 she was sent to Madrid to live with her uncle and aunt to train as an accountant at Mary Ward College of the Irish Catholic University in Spain.
In 1970, at a party, she met family friend Julio Iglesias, who was then an unknown singer. After 7 months they got married. The couple was married for almost seven years, during which time they had three children: Chabeli, Julio Jr. and Enrique. At the same time, they did not complete their career growth: in 1971, they suddenly excited the public in Spain and Latin America - Isabel as a model, and Julio as a singer.
