Iglesias Will Concentrate on Himself and His Son Frankie
The comedian has made audiences laugh with his wit and humor; however, Iglesias found himself in a difficult situation in 2017. Balancing his personal and professional lives took its toll on him because he couldn’t find a work-life balance that worked for him. “Everything fell apart,” he said in a People interview in June 2020.
The actor went into survival mode, which included abstaining from alcohol for over two years and avoiding professional commitments for an “emotional rebuild.” Furthermore, the performer revealed to Billboard in 2018 that he broke down on stage while discussing his son and had to walk off the stage.
In the same interview, Iglesias stated that success and money were meaningless if time was not spent with family. After realizing his error, the comedian apologized to his son Frankie for his absence over the years. According to Nicki Swift magazine, Frankie eventually forgave his father. The comedian took time away from his professional obligations to reflect as a family man.
Iglesias and his ex-girlfriend co-parented their son
Following issues with work-life balance, the actor divorced his long-term girlfriend, Claudia Valdez, in the summer of 2020. The exact reason for the breakup is unknown; however, it has been speculated that the two split up due to Iglesias’ alcoholism and emotional issues.
The comedian had been in a 12-year relationship with Valdez. The couple was first seen together in public at an event in 2008. Since they were together, they have lived in California and raised Frankie. Although the couple did not have biological children of their own, Iglesias always considered Frankie his own and granted him the right to use his family name.
