As a global icon, Ricky Martin has long won the hearts of fans with his music and stage presence. Offstage, however, what matters most to him is his role as a loving father. For years now, he has been sharing moments from his children’s lives with fans, telling how they have enriched his life.
In 2023, after six years of marriage, Ricky and his former partner Jwan Yosef announced their separation. Despite the end of their marriage, they both said they will continue to provide a stable and supportive environment for their children.
In their joint statement, they emphasised that the separation was ‘with love, respect and dignity for our children’, expressing their desire for a peaceful and amicable family life.
Ricky has always said that the decision to become a father was very important to him. His journey to fatherhood began in 2008 when he had twins Matteo and Valentino.
Fatherly support was important to him and he has always passed this care on to his sons, recalling how his own father’s support affected him.
Ricky takes great joy in fatherhood and his family has always been his top priority. He has always strived to be a good father to his children, from Matteo and Valentino to Lucia and Renn, who came later in life.
