Latin heart-throb Enrique Iglesias will soon have an uncle or aunt 30 years his junior after his grandfather announced he is to become a dad again at the age of 90. Julio Iglesias Sr, whose iconic son Julio Jr celebrated his 62nd birthday earlier this year, is looking forward to welcoming his second child with wife Ronna Kneit. The retired gynaecologist, who already has a baby son called Jaime with Ronna, said he wanted the 42-year-old to have something to remember him by. "My wife wanted it and I owed it to her," he explained. "It was an act of generosity towards her. I leave her part of my blood, of my life. I need her so much that I said to her 'here, this is what you wanted for when I am gone'."

Julio Sr was 88 when their first child together was born in May last year. The birth came after a 17-year romance which culminated in them walking down the aisle in 2001. His wife underwent fertility treatment in order to conceive first time around and medical science is believed to have played a role in her latest pregnancy too.

It would appear the proud father is thoroughly enjoying his role as a parent. After little Jaime made his debut in 2004, he rejected suggestions Ronna was the driving force behind their decision to start a family. "At my age, a child is marvellous," he declared. "If people say I just did it for my wife, I don't take it as an insult, but the truth is I wanted it just as much as her. It is a gift and a privilege."
