Married After Two Decades of Dating

Julio, the Spanish singer, was previously married to Isabel Preysler. Miranda married the Spanish singer in 2010. The couple first crossed paths in 1990 and started dating immediately. Yet, the couple patiently waited for over a decade before being declared husband and wife.

Marinda and Julio refrained from marrying for fourteen years, likely due to the demands of Julio's busy singing career. Julio was quite active during the 1990s. It might have been challenging for him to marry Miranda immediately. As a result, they waited until August 26, 2010, to finally tie the knot.

Regardless, all the patience and waiting did pay off for both of them. Unlike most Hollywood couples, Marinda and Julio have been happily married for over 13 years. The couple even share five children. 

How Did Marinda and Julio Meet?

Miranda and Julio had a memorable encounter at an airport in Jakarta, Indonesia in 1990. Julio, enchanted by Miranda's beauty, immediately felt a deep connection—a love at first sight.

Julio invited Miranda to his show that night, and after the performance, he proposed something even more significant. He suggested she join him on a tour spanning Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, and Tokyo. Miranda, after hesitation, agreed to go.

From this began their two decades of love story. They patiently waited for 20 years. The couple had a private and small marriage in a small church in Marbella, Spain. Miranda became the mother of seven children, including two from Julio's previous relationship.
