This summer marks fifteen years since the wedding of Julio Iglesias and former Dutch model Miranda Rijnsburger. The couple, who in 2025 will celebrate their ‘glass wedding anniversary,’ officially formalized their relationship after twenty years together. The ceremony took place on August 24, 2010, when the singer was 66 and his chosen one was 44.
The wedding was held in Marbella in a strictly private setting. The couple chose a small parish church, parroquia de la Virgen del Carmen, for the ceremony. Only their closest circle attended: the couple’s five children and two longtime family aides, who acted as witnesses. According to the priest who officiated, preparations for the event lasted more than a year, and the ceremony itself was simple but deeply moving. After the wedding, celebrations continued at Iglesias’s estate, Cuatro Lunas, in the municipality of Ojén on the Costa del Sol.
The event had a special dress code: everyone present—including the bride, groom, their children, and staff—wore white, creating an ambiance reminiscent of Ibizan style. The bride changed into two different outfits by renowned designer Oscar de la Renta. The occasion received exclusive press coverage, with reports highlighting every detail, from the attire to the moment when the bride tossed her bouquet to the staff.
Fifteen years on, Julio and Miranda’s marriage remains strong, though their lifestyle has changed. The couple lives separately: Miranda and their children are settled in Miami, in their home in the exclusive Indian Creek area, while the 81-year-old singer spends most of his time at his residence in Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic. This arrangement is due to his health and professional commitments. Meanwhile, Miranda regularly spends summers in Marbella, maintaining her connection to Spain.
In recent years, Julio Iglesias has led a secluded life, giving rise to numerous rumors about his retirement and health issues. This spring, the artist was compelled to make a public statement denying speculation about the end of his career. He noted that he is accustomed to solitude and finds comfort in it, emphasizing that this is his personal choice rather than a forced decision. Fans and the media are watching to see if the couple will make a public appearance together to mark their fifteenth wedding anniversary.
