Enrique Iglesias: The Women in His Life

TV y Novelas (U.S. Edition)
Year 19, Number 21
October 13, 1997

He has fame, money and heart-stopping good looks. He’s young, sings beautifully, sells records, and he says he’s not at all a womanizer, even though it runs in his family. But he has appeared in pictures with beautiful women. According to him they are just friends, but judging from the photos, it seems as if he’s been romantically involved with them. Is he a confirmed bachelor or a full-time romantic? In this interview, he tells you himself.

What kind of woman do you like?
-It doesn’t matter to me if she’s blonde, brunette, red-headed, tall or short, as long as there is chemistry, I like her. The women I like have to know how to make the most of what they have.

How would you like your woman to be?
-A little "crazy". One of those girls that would cause a terrified reaction in my parents when they saw her. “Oh my gosh, what kind of girl is this that you’re bringing home?!”

Is she the type of woman that seduces you?
-I’m captivated by a woman who has a certain quality and knows how to use it... whether it’s physical or in her personality. I won’t lie to you, the physical is the first thing that attracts me (even though everyone has their own taste). If I see a girl who seems pretty, I’d choose her, but if after three days you realize she’s dumb (and there are millions), you end it and that’s it.

Have you had many girlfriends?
-I’ve only had one, but I don’t like to talk about her. I haven’t been in a relationship for about a year now.

When it comes to love, do you identify with a tiger, a cat or a dolphin?
-I would say that I’m a dolphin because it’s very smart. When I want to win a girl’s heart I try to use intelligence, without putting aside my feelings. I wouldn’t characterize myself as being pampered like a cat, even though I love it when women are affectionate and fuss over me.

Are two women in a man’s life a crowd?
-That could turn out to be a crowd (he laughs). I’d rather concentrate on one than be overwhelmed by two.

Does going after a girl make you feel insecure?
-Yes, but that kind of insecurity is nice. It creates more passion. Without it, it’s no fun.

Do you maintain a good relationship with your past loves?
-Yes. I’ve never had a “tortuous” relationship.

What makes you take interest in a woman?
-The thing I like most in a woman is that you can leave her by herself anywhere and she has fun... you’re not in a meeting worrying about her the whole time.
