Since 2000

Iglesias returned to the headlines in October, 2003, when he went to Argentina and kissed show host Susana Gimenez three times during a live telecast of her show.

2003 saw the release of the Spanish album Divorcio. (Divorce) In its first day of sales, Divorcio sold a record 350,000 copies in Spain; and quickly reached the #1 spot on the charts in Spain, Portugal, France, Italy, and Russia.

The remainder of 2003 and early 2004 featured a mega 10 month world tour; which took Iglesias, fueled with the success of Divorcio from Europe and Asia to The United States, South America, and Africa. More than half the shows on the tour sold out within days of going on sale, showing that fans still adore Julio.

In December of 2004, Miranda and Julio recorded a duet of the Christmas song Silent Night. The song, which was not officially released, also included a voice message from Julio, Miranda, and their 4 young children. The song was released online through the singer's web page, and a CD was included in their Christmas card as a holiday gift from the Iglesias family to their friends and to fans around the world.

Julio has made important investments in the Dominican Republic's eastern town of Punta Cana, a major tourist destination, where he spends most of the year when he is not on tour.

The singer's south Florida mansion on the exclusive, security obsessed, private Indian Creek Island is currently on the market for $28 million dollars making it one of Ten Most Expensive Homes in the South in 2006 according to Forbes Magazine.

In September 2006 a new English album titled Romantic Classics was released. I've chosen songs from the '60s, '70s and 80s that I believe will come to be regarded as the new standards, Iglesias says in the album's sleeve notes. The album features the hits I Want To Know What Love Is, Careless Whisper, and Right Here Waiting.

Romantic Classics was Julio's highest debut on the BILLBOARD charts entering at number 31 in the USA, 21 in Canada, 10 in Australia, and top spots across Europe and Asia.

In late September, Julio returned to the studio to record songs in Bahasa Indonesian and in Filipino for the Asian releases of Romantic Classics- which helped propel sales in the Asian Markets.

Julio promoted Romantic Classics very heavily in the remainder of 2006, and was seen all over the world on popular TV shows, and in the USA, he appeared on Dancing With The Stars where he sang his hit I Want To know what Love Is, Good Morning America, The View, Fox and Friends, and Martha Stewart.

Julio is currently performing several concerts in Romania (in Bucharest, Sibiu, Timisoara, Bacau and Constanta) promoting his Romantic Classics album.
