Rare Vintage Photos of Celebrity Weddings of the 1970s

Julio Iglesias met Filipina socialite and journalist Isabel Preysler at a party in Madrid in the late 1960s while his music career was beginning to rise. Their romance quickly became one of Spain’s most talked-about relationships. They married on January 29, 1971, in a glamorous Catholic ceremony widely covered by European press.

The couple became a high-profile society pair and welcomed three children, including future pop star Enrique Iglesias. As Julio’s international career expanded, their lives grew increasingly separate. The marriage ended in divorce in 1979. Iglesias continued his global music career, while Preysler became a prominent media personality and social figure.
