María Isabel Iglesias Preysler (born September 3, 1971, Madrid, Spain), better known as Chábeli Iglesias, is a Spanish Filipina[1][2] journalist based in Washington D.C..
Iglesias is the daughter of famous Spanish singer Julio Iglesias and Filipina journalist and model Isabel Preysler. She is the sister of pop star Enrique Iglesias and model and singer Julio Iglesias Jr.. She has also several half-siblings: Tamara Falcó and Ana Boyer (from her mother's side) and Miguel Alejandro, Rodrigo, Cristina, Victoria and Guillermo Iglesias (from her father's side).
Iglesias appeared in many local and international covers of gossip magazines since at a young age, as the press made the Iglesias family one of their favorite targets. After the kidnapping of her grandfather in 1985, her father decided to move her and her brothers to safety in Miami, United States where she lived in protective custody.
During the 1990s, Iglesias, who is a friend of Cristina Saralegui, made an appearance in Saralegui's show. This was followed by the short-lived television show El Show de Chabeli, which aired on Univision. She married Ricardo Bofill Jr, son of a famous architect Ricardo Bofill. The marriage to Bofill proved disastrous. Soon, much gossip about it showed up on the covers of tabloid magazines, and eventually the marriage ended.
In 1999, Iglesias had a life-threatening accident in Los Angeles, requiring hospitalization. The police declared that with the kind of injuries she had, only one out of a million people would survive.
On October 8, 2001 she married Christian Altaba.
Their son Alejandro was born prematurely on January 14 2002. The godparents of Alejandro are Julio José Iglesias, Chabeli's brother and Ana Boyer, Chabeli's sister.
