Charisse Verhaert and Julio José Iglesias divorced years ago and both have had time to rebuild their lives. He has recently revealed that he has found love with the Cuban model Ariadna Romero and her ex-wife with the dancer Jay Sánchez. The couple has wasted no time and is already expecting their first baby by the end of this year. The singer is currently 5 months pregnant and, as she has told on her social networks, “the baby is growing healthy.”
Despite being separated since 2021, since they were together for more than 20 years, both Verhaert and Iglesias are still in a relationship. In fact, in statements for ¡HOLA!, Julio Iglesias Jr has admitted that they are “very well and we talk every day on the phone.”
In his case, as the singer told the same magazine, the reason for the divorce was the distance. The fact that he traveled so much for work and that she was with her family in Belgium. “It got to a point where we realized we were more friends than a couple.”
Beyond their separation, Charisse has been very close to the Iglesias family, and that they lived most of their marriage in the United States. Even so, her visits to Spain were enough to establish a close relationship with the Preysler family. In fact, she is still in a relationship with Tamara Falcó, Ana Boyer, Fernando Verdasco and Álvaro Castillejo, among others.
In recent days Julio Iglesias Jr has introduced Ariadna Romero, a 36-year-old Cuban model with whom he has a sentimental relationship. She is well known in Italy after participating in various contests such as Dancing with the stars, Beijing express and Survivors. She was married to basketball player Lorenzo Gergati and is the mother of a child she had with Pierpaolo Pretelli.
The model’s priority is her son, Leonardo, whom Iglesias already knows and with whom she seems to have gotten along well. Something that is not surprising given how much he likes the Iglesias children. In fact, he has confessed on several occasions his desire to be a father.
