Bertín Osborne
Norberto Juan Ortiz Osborne (born 7 December 1954 in Madrid, Spain), known as Bertín Osborne, is a Spanish vocalist, actor and TV personality. But his life and his childhood are related to his maternal origins in Puerto de Santa Maria and later in Jerez de la Frontera.
Music
Osborne's first musical performance was in 1971 at the Song Festival at El Escorial, but he had to wait until 1980 to sign his first contract to record an album.

Personal life
Osborne was married to Alejandra (Sandra) Domecq Williams,[3] from 1977 until their divorce in 1991, who died in 2004.[4] The couple had three daughters: Alejandra (b. 1978), Eugenia (b. 1986) and Claudia (b. 1989), as well as a son (Cristian; 1977-1977), who died at less than one year of age.
He remarried, on 10 June 2006, Fabiola Martínez Benavides, from Maracaibo, Venezuela;[5] the couple has two children, Norberto Enrique and Carlos Alberto.[6] Norberto has been diagnosed with cerebral palsy, which led Bertin to create the Fundacion Bertin Osborne, a non-profit organization devoted to helping children with this diagnosis. Bertin has brought his son to The Institutes for the Achievement of Human Potential (IAHP) for treatment, and has used his foundation to spread the word in Spain about IAHP's work.[7]
