Ricky Martin's Twins Support Him On Stage Amidst Divorce
The teens surprised their dad on stage in Switzerland this week.
Ricky Martin might be getting divorced, but his kids are still standing by his side.
The singer’s twin 14-year-old sons, Matteo and Valentino, appeared to surprise him by showing up on stage during his concert in Switzerland on Monday.
Martin shared video of the two jumping around hyping up the crowd as he watched and laughed, writing, “What a beautiful surprise! When my twins jumped on stage with me for the first time in Locarno, Switzerland.”
The “Livin’ La Vida Loca” singer announced earlier this month that he and his husband, Jwan Yosef, are ending their marriage after six years.
“It is after careful consideration that we have decided to end our marriage with love, respect, and dignity for our children — preserving and honoring what we have experienced as a couple all of these wonderful years,” they said in a joint statement. “We are united in nurturing this new chapter of our lives.”
Martin and Yosef share two children together, a 4-year-old daughter named Lucia, and a 3-year-old son named Renn. Matteo and Valentino were welcomed via surrogate when Martin was still a single parent.
Not much else is known about the split at this time, other than that they are seeking joint custody of the youngest two children and cited the familiar “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for divorce.
Last year, Martin was accused of incest and harassment by his adult nephew, who later withdrew the case. Martin then sued him for $20 million, alleging that he was harassing him in an attempt to extort him and assassinate his reputation.
