The Dutch model Miranda Rijnsburger almost lost her life and that episode marked her forever.
Julio Iglesias is one of the greatest artists in history. Although throughout his career in the world of music, he managed to earn more than 250 million dollars just by selling his albums and breaking some Guinness records with his successful career, in the past, his path was going to be linked to the world of music.
In his youth, he worked as a goalkeeper for Real Madrid and he was really good. His great dream was related to the ball, the stadiums, and the passion that the aforementioned sport generates, but at the age of 19, everything took a radical turn when he suffered a car accident that took him away from the fields.
Something similar happened to his current wife, the Dutch model Miranda Rijnsburger, whom he met more than three decades ago at the Jakarta airport. Many would not believe it but it seems that her life was predestined because the moment he saw her, Julio Iglesias knew that she would become his wife.
Together they brought five children into the world who added to the three that the Spanish artist already had from his previous marriage to Isabel Preysler, and that is why they formed a large and very beautiful family that continues to be chosen every day to this day.
What few know is that Miranda Rijnsburger and Julio Iglesias have many things in common that make them one of the most successful couples in show business. One of them is that both of them, their lives changed at the age of 19 and they were victims of serious accidents.
Unlike the singer, who what happened to him was in a car, it happened to the model on a snow track. Five years before meeting her current husband, Ella Miranda, she was skiing in Sauerland, Germany, when she jumped off a slope and had an accident
That accident caused multiple fractures, including his nose and her spine. To recover from it, after being miraculously saved, she needed six months of rehabilitation and a lot of effort on her part. But fortunately for Julio Iglesias everything turned out well and a few years later his paths would cross forever.
