Most people know the Iglesias name through Julio’s decades of chart-topping music or Enrique’s global pop career. But the youngest member of the entire Iglesias family has spent nearly his whole life away from cameras, press events, and headlines — until recently.
In May 2025, Guillermo Iglesias-Rijnsburger turned 18. Around the same time, a short video of him playing piano made its way across social media and caught the attention of fans and entertainment outlets across Spain and Latin America. Suddenly, people wanted to know more about him.
This article covers who Guillermo is, where he fits in the Iglesias family, and what we actually know — based on confirmed public information.
Who Is Guillermo Iglesias-Rijnsburger?
His full name is Guillermo Iglesias Rijnsburger. He is the youngest son of Spanish music legend Julio Iglesias and Dutch former model Miranda Rijnsburger.
He was born on May 5, 2007, which means he turned 18 in 2025. His first name was chosen in honor of Miranda’s father — a detail confirmed by a fan page dedicated to the Iglesias-Preysler family.
It is worth being clear: this is not a reference to any other public figure who might share a similar name. Guillermo Iglesias Rijnsburger is specifically the youngest child of Julio Iglesias and Miranda Rijnsburger.
His Place in the Iglesias Family
Julio Iglesias has seven children in total, from two different relationships. Understanding the full picture helps explain where Guillermo fits.
From his relationship with Spanish socialite Isabel Preysler, Julio has three children: Chábeli Iglesias, Julio José Iglesias, and Enrique Iglesias. Enrique is, of course, the most famous of the three — a global pop star in his own right.
With Miranda Rijnsburger, Julio has five children: Miguel Alejandro, Rodrigo, twins Victoria and Cristina, and Guillermo. Guillermo is the youngest of all seven children across both branches of the family.
Julio and Miranda married in August 2010, after roughly 20 years together. Their relationship and family life have always been much lower-profile than the highly publicized years of Julio’s earlier career and first marriage.
A Life Largely Out of the Spotlight
Spanish and Latin American media consistently describe Guillermo as the most discreet and least publicly known of Julio’s children. That is not a criticism — it reflects a deliberate approach by the family to raise their younger children away from media attention.
Unlike his half-brother Enrique, who has been a household name since his teens, Guillermo has grown up without press appearances, interviews, or social media profiles aimed at building a public image. What little the public knows about him comes mostly through family social media posts, not red carpet moments or official announcements.
One documented public appearance placed him at the family’s Cuatro Lunas estate in Ojén, Málaga, during the summer, photographed alongside his mother Miranda and his brother Miguel. That kind of quiet, family-centered setting seems to be the norm for him.
The contrast with Julio’s earlier, very public family life is notable. The household Julio built with Miranda has always operated at a different pace — calmer, more private, and clearly intentional about keeping the children shielded until they are ready to make their own choices.
The Piano Video That Put Him on the Map
The moment that drew real public attention to Guillermo was simple: his sister Victoria shared a video on social media showing him playing the piano. The piece he performed was “Hey!” — one of Julio Iglesias’s classic songs.
The clip spread quickly. Fans of Julio noticed it. Entertainment outlets in Mexico and Spain picked it up. People were struck by how naturally he played, and the choice of song — his father’s — added an obvious emotional dimension to the moment.
It is important to be clear about what that video was and was not. It was a family post, not a formal debut or a career announcement. Victoria shared it the way many people share moments of a sibling doing something impressive. There was no press release, no label announcement, no official statement attached to it.
Still, it functioned as an unintentional introduction. For many people who follow the Iglesias family, it was the first time they had actually seen Guillermo in any meaningful way.
According to reporting from Nmas, Guillermo plays both piano and drums, and has studied music from a young age. That suggests his musical ability is not casual or accidental — it is the result of real training over time.
Several outlets also pointed out a physical resemblance between Guillermo and both his father Julio and his half-brother Enrique. Whether that visual similarity translates into a similar career path remains entirely open.
The Iglesias Musical Legacy and Where Guillermo Fits
Julio Iglesias is one of the best-selling Latin music artists in history. His career spans decades, crosses dozens of languages, and has produced an extraordinary catalog of recordings. He originally trained as a goalkeeper for Real Madrid’s youth academy before a serious car accident led him away from football and toward music — a pivot that ended up shaping one of the most recognized voices in the world.
His son Enrique followed a different path but achieved a similar level of fame, building a pop career that made him one of the top-selling artists of the 1990s and 2000s. Julio José Iglesias has also pursued music, though with a much smaller public profile.
Now, attention is beginning to turn to the next generation — and specifically to Guillermo, who is the youngest and the most recently visible through that piano video.
Some media outlets have suggested that Guillermo “could equal the success of Enrique Iglesias.” It is worth treating that kind of framing carefully. He has shown genuine musical talent and has clearly been trained. But there is no confirmed record deal, no announced project, and no public statement from Guillermo himself about a career in music. He is 18 years old and has spent his life out of the public eye.
What is fair to say is that the musical environment he grew up in is unlike almost anyone else’s. Having Julio Iglesias as a father means music has always been a serious presence in the household. Whether Guillermo chooses to do something professional with his abilities is a question only he can answer — and he has not answered it publicly yet.

Miranda Rijnsburger’s Role in the Family
Any profile of Guillermo would be incomplete without acknowledging his mother. Miranda Rijnsburger is a Dutch former model who has been Julio Iglesias’s partner for roughly 20 years before they married in 2010. She is widely described as the anchor of the quieter, more private side of Julio’s family life.
The Iglesias-Rijnsburger household has properties in both Miami and Spain. The family’s Cuatro Lunas estate in Ojén, near Málaga, is where they have often spent summers away from the public eye.
Miranda’s influence on how the younger children have been raised — away from cameras, grounded in family life — seems significant, even if she rarely speaks publicly about it herself.
Why People Are Paying Attention Now
The combination of Guillermo turning 18, the piano video gaining traction, and general curiosity about the next generation of the Iglesias family has created a natural moment of public interest.
Fans of Julio Iglesias who have followed his career for decades are curious about his youngest child. Fans of Enrique are wondering whether another member of the family might step into music. And people who simply came across the piano clip on social media want to know more about the young man in the video.
What makes Guillermo’s story genuinely interesting is not hype or speculation about future stardom. It is the contrast: growing up with one of the most famous surnames in music history, while living one of the most private lives of anyone connected to that name. He is, by all confirmed accounts, a talented young man with serious musical training, a close family, and no apparent rush to become famous.
