Meet Ricky Martin’s adorable teen twins, Matteo and Valentino: the 50-year-old singer is raising his kids with hubby Jwan Yosef, enjoying the beach, jets and Grammys red carpets
- The Livin’ La Vida Loca star is raising his surrogate twins with husband Jwan Yosef – Matteo is creative while Ricky predicts Valentino will become a YouTuber
- Martin and Swedish painter Yosef have two more surrogate kids together, Lucia and Renn, both three, with their loving family life often shared via the singer’s Instagram
Ricky Martin clearly loves being a father. Since his much-talked-about coming out in 2010, the Livin’ La Vida Loca singer can almost always be seen smiling, laughing and goofing around with his four children.
The twins are now teenagers
Matteo and Valentino are twins who Ricky had through a single father surrogacy process in 2008. Ricky has previously shared that the twins have already asked about having two daddies. “I tell them we are a part of a modern family. This is a beautiful sense of freedom,” the songwriter told the magazine Out.
The boys reportedly enjoy a close relationship with dad Jwan, too.
At a young age, they are both well-traveled
Matteo and Valentino seem to be fond of travelling. Last year, Ricky posted clips of a fun road trip with Jwan and the twins. In one of his Instagram highlights, the famous singer also uploaded a collection of beach photos and plane rides with the kids.
In 2017 though, the Puerto Rican singer was criticised for taking then-eight-year-old twins to go with him on the road while on tour. In an episode of Dr Oz, Ricky shared, “A lot of people tell me, ‘Rick, but when are you gonna stop [touring], because kids, they need stability?’” To which he replied that the kids would be unstable if he was not around and that they were great during the trip.
