The Puerto Rican magazine
TVAqui just broke the news on its twitter page about its upcoming issue in which Ricky Martin openly confesses that his "heart could belong to a man or a woman," according to
Perez.
Martin who has repeatedly denied being gay has also been outspoken on the issue of closeted
celebrities. When Mexican pop singer Christian Chavez came out in June of 2007, Martin stated: "Life is too short to live closed up, guarding what you say. [Christian] has to be free in many aspects. I wish him much strength."
Meanwhile back in December 2007, suspicions of Martin's gayness turned more than rumors when skin-care guru Ole Henriksen, who counts Ricky as a client, was interviewed by a Swedish magazine. When asked who would he choose to spend a romantic vacation other than his partner, the beautician master naturally answered " I'd say my client Ricky Martin" -- a reply considered to have inadvertently outed the Puerto Rican heartthrob.
The International pop star, former
Menudo is the father of twins through a surrogate mother. As we've witnessed in the past, fatherhood seems to have an influence on celebrities to finally come out.
Last September, Clay Aiken attributed the decision to publicly admit his homosexuality to his son saying "I cannot raise a child to lie or hide things."
