Up Close & Personal With Enrique Iglesias

MIAMI (CBS4) -- One of the hottest selling heartthrobs currently in music recently kicked off his latest tour in South Florida. It's Enrique Iglesias who opened up about things he doesn't normally talk about with CBS4's Lisa Petrillo.

Performing to sold-out crowds around the world, 35-year-old Latin heartthrob Enrique Iglesias had the ladies swooning on Thursday, Feb. 10th when he took to the stage at Hard Rock Live for his "Euphoria World Tour." This tour celebrates his 9th studio album which is now double platinum in the US and Mexico.

"Euphoria" is Enrique's first bilingual album with 7 original English songs and six in Spanish.

"I Like It" is the first English single and is now triple platinum which makes Iglesias the male artist with the most number one's on the Billboard dance charts, surpassing Michael Jackson and Prince.

"There's no better feeling than writing a song and feeling that there's something special about it and then performing it on stage and seeing fans react to it," explained Iglesias. "Obviously, when you get a few hit singles it gathers a whole new audience which is so cool."

The relationship between Enrique and Lisa Petrillo goes way back.

"You're like my aunt," said Enrique. "A lot of people don't know that your sister was my dad's girlfriend and she was my favorite."

Enrique, the third child of Latin superstar Julio Iglesias, has seen it all including the crazy life of his father but he's trying to keep his life in balance.

"I try to keep my personal life as private as possible. Believe it or not and I love it. Lisa, -I love what I do when I'm up on stage and see my fans, I'm the happiest person in the world."

Enrique also talked about his girlfriend of 8-years, tennis star Anna Kournikova and said they are still happy.

He also spoke about growing up in South Florida.

"I lived in L.A. and in other places but I always come back to Miami, the place where I grew up. There's something about the people and I like living next to water."

Enrique's concert at the Hard Rock sold out so fast, they are now working on bringing him back for another show sometime in June.
