RonJonSurfer Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 Ricky Martin calls fatherhood a `spiritual moment' NEW YORK – Ricky Martin is showing off the first photos of his twin boys, who were born last summer to a surrogate mother. Photos of the Latin superstar and his sons Valentino and Matteo appear in the upcoming issue of People. Martin announced their birth on Aug. 20, when the babies were several weeks old. Says Martin: "I'm so happy! Everything they do, from smiling to crying, feels like a blessing. Being a father feels amazing. This has been the most spiritual moment in my life." The "Livin' La Vida Loca" singer says surrogacy "was an intriguing and faster option" than adoption. And Martin says: "I'm the one who changes the diapers, the one that feeds them, the one that bathes them, the one that puts them to sleep." ___ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Seeker Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 Does that mean he's going to raise them on his own? Or was his wife/girlfriend/boyfriend not important enough to be mentioned? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Levis Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 it means he may or may not be gay. Didn't Clay Aiken do something similar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RonJonSurfer Posted December 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 What it means is that the only sexual acts used to create these kids was between Ricky and a test tube and the surrogate and a turkey baster. I may have some of the finer technical points over-simplified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Seeker Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 No I know, but I thought maybe there's something wrong with his girlfriend so she can't have/bear children, or he's gay, or he doesn't even HAVE a significant other.

Lucky Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 It seems very pointedly left open to interpretation. By not mentioning the partner, or lack thereof, he's not officially confirming or denying anything. His personal life is meant to be a mystery. Except for the babies. Clay Aiken did exactly the same thing I believe, before he officially "came out". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edna Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 I know nothing about Ricky Martin and his sexual life. All I know is he was a member of Menudo, the latin band of minors, in the seventies. Plus, he has children without a woman he loves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miamisammy29 Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 Wow, that's cool. He has two kids. That's one more than his total number of hit songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonJonSurfer Posted December 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 Well you can't just whip up a hit song in a test tube! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
