Ricky Martin had wanted to be a father for a long time but his sexuality did not make the journey easy. The singer said about his dream, “Many years I dreamt of being a father, and many, many, many times I went through this grieving process of ‘I am gay, I am a closeted gay man, and I’m not going to be able to be a daddy.”
Martin became a single father to twin boys via surrogacy. His sons Matteo and Valentino were born in 2008 and are now 15 years old. In 2017, Martin married Jwan Yosef. About his marriage, he said, “My kids ask me about having two daddies and I tell them we are a part of a modern family,” he went on, “This is a beautiful sense of freedom.”
The couple welcomed their children, daughter Lucia and son Renn. The two children are now 5 and 4, respectively. They were born 9 months apart and conceived via surrogate.
Martin talked about how he always wanted a big family. He said in a 2020 interview, “There’s moments where I want 10 more, and then there are those mornings where everybody’s crying and I’m like, ‘Okay, maybe we’re fine at six [people in the family].’”
In July 2023, Martin and Yosef publicly announced they were divorcing after six years of marriage.
