Both have managed to keep a fluid and affectionate communication, speaking on the phone frequently and supporting each other during difficult times.

The truth about Julio Iglesias and Isabel Preysler comes to light

Talking about Julio Iglesias and Isabel Preysler means talking about two of the faces that have graced the most magazine covers over the years. Their romantic relationship and subsequent wedding created great expectations, as did their highly publicized divorce. Three children were born from that marriage, but that didn't prevent the relationship from eventually dissolving.

Now, neither Julio nor Isabel can deny the rumors about what kind of relationship they keep today. As has become known, the artist and the socialite have resumed contact and keep a sincere friendship. Distance keeps them inevitably apart, but that doesn't stop them from calling each other regularly.

Over the years, they've shown that, despite differences and the passage of time, it's possible to keep a respectful relationship. Their son, Julio José, confirmed the good relationship between his parents, noting that he's never witnessed conflicts between them and that they keep an affectionate connection.

"They talk on the phone and have had a very beautiful relationship since they separated," he confessed during his last visit to ¡De Viernes!. Julio José expressed how proud he is of his parents and how they've managed to overcome the challenges that clouded their marriage. At the time, there were rumors of infidelities on both sides, although the singer confessed that with Isabel "it was love at first sight."

In the end, it wasn't meant to be, and the marriage ended after eight years together and three children. Contrary to what many might think, today there's no resentment between them.

Forty-five years after their divorce, the relationship between Julio and Isabel is excellent. The love they once felt has given way to a friendship that has been kept despite time and distance. After the separation, Isabel rebuilt her life on numerous occasions and with several men who deeply impacted her.

Julio, after also enjoying his single life and his reputation as a womanizer, married Miranda with whom he settled down. Today, the singer is the only man in Isabel's life who is still alive and who has supported her the most. The artist has been the first to defend her from criticism, especially regarding the latest controversy she had with Mario Vargas Llosa.

"They've had a friendship for many years and get along wonderfully, they really have a very beautiful relationship," Julio José confirmed. These words reveal that Julio and Isabel haven't just kept in touch because of their children. Now that their children are grown and have started their own families, the artist and the socialite continue to show interest in each other.

Their story is an example of how love and understanding can endure beyond a marital relationship, strengthening personal bonds.
