Enrique Iglesias and Rafael Nadal can really draw a crowd. On Monday night, the pop singer and tennis star attended a blowout party to celebrate the opening of their restaurant, Tatel Miami, a sister to the Madrid eatery. The upscale eatery is located at the Ritz Carlton South Beach, in the space formerly known as David Bouley Evolution.
Iglesias and Nadal — pals who are both originally from Spain — apparently were on madrileño time, arriving two hours late. A huge crowd of media, VIPs and gate crashers swarmed the men, who briefly posed for pics and interviews. Nadal was dressed in a smart suit; Iglesias looked more casual, wearing his signature baseball cap.
Iglesias said he was “proud” to bring Tatel to Miami, where he resides with longtime partner Anna Kournikova. It officially opens 5:30 p.m. for dinner Tuesday; a location in Ibiza is next
