Spanish singer Julio Iglesias is following in his father's footsteps - by becoming a pensioner dad.

The 63-year-old star is expecting his eighth child in April after Dutch wife Miranda Rijnsburger revealed she is pregnant with the couple's fifth child.

Iglesias already has three grown-up children from his first marriage to Isabel Preysler, including pop star Enrique.

His own father became a dad again aged 88 and died last year, aged 90, shortly before his wife gave birth to their second.
