She is Dutch but loves Spain (one of her adopted home countries)

Prior to meeting el amor de su vida, Miranda was a model. Her birthday is on October 5, and she will be 54 later this year. In 2017, Julio shared a touching message about his wife on his social media wishing her a happy birthday and how much he loves her. Although she is Dutch, she loves Spain (they have a home near Marbella) and enjoys spending summers there with her family.

She helped bring “focus” to Julio Iglesias’ life

Julio has always gushed about what a wonderful person his wife is and has always been, sharing several photos of her through the years on social media for her birthday and their wedding anniversary. In an interview with ¡HOLA! the Spanish singer shared: “If Miranda hadn’t come into my life, my mind wouldn’t be as focused on the future as it is right now — it would be more focused on the present, and very likely, more and more in the past.”
