Ricky Martin Fathers Twins

The secret is out: Ricky Martin is the proud father of twin boys!

"The children, delivered via gestational surrogacy, are healthy and already under Ricky's full-time care," his rep told the AP. "Ricky is elated to begin this new chapter in his life as a parent and will be spending the remainder of the year out of the public spotlight in order to spend time with his children."

The Latin superstar kept the pregnancy under wraps until now! His rep said there was no further information about the details of the children's birth.

  • While I'm happy for Ricky Martin, I have to wonder whatever happened to the "old-fashioned" way of procreating --- you find a girl, you get married then you have and raise children together. Now it's find an egg donor or a sperm donor, have the fertilized eggs implanted in the woman and then the woman has the baby or babies in this case. We don't know who the woman is --- Ricky may not even know anything about her. Where's the romance? Where's the surprise? I"m sorry but this is just too scientific for me. Is this the way homosexuals - alleged and otherwise (Clay Aiken, anyone?) now get to have babies? Sorry, I'll take "Love and marriage then a baby carriage." Call me old-fashioned but I prefer it that way.

    • Uh... hello. In case you weren't aware, straight people have been able "to get to have babies" this way much longer than homosexuals - "alleged or otherwise". When someone wants children but is unable to the old-fashioned way, then the "scientific" method becomes the alternative, whether you're gay or straight. Can't we just be happy that there are children being brought into this world by loving people who want them? Congratulations Ricky!

  • Ok, I am upset at the Insider, a "reputable" entertainment news show, claims up above in the heading that he is gay? I mean, even if he is, he hasn't come out, so let him be. Why should the Insider put a label on him if he hasn't officially come out as a gay man. As a gay man myself, I am offended that the Insider would stoop to the level of a Perez Hilton.

  • As long as Ricky or anyone for that matter, raises their children in a loving home and teach them to respect others and be "good" people, then I dont care. He is at the age where he ready to be a good father. goodluck

  • It's great news and surprising at the same time. As a twin, I'm double happy for him. Maybe in time he'll let everyone know why he chose this way. As for not letting anyone know, Ricky in the past has wanted to keep his personal life private. He could of hired a surrogate for several reasons. The wonderful news is that he's a father.

  • OMIGOD if he is who cares every one acts like his hole carrier is based on his sexual prefrence he is a great human being and a great singer so who cares if he is gay or not, he chose to have children this way totaly up to him how many rich pepole do this and r they posted all over the web give the guy a break RICKY IF U R GAY I STILL LOVE U for what u are not who u sleep with

  • I am offened that he intends to raise children (FROM BIRTH)without a mother. A baby needs his/her mother. Ricky Martin has commited a hate crime. He hates women so he raises 2 boys without any mother figure.

  • So following your line of reasoning millions of women should be charged with hate crimes for raising children without thier dads...wait maybe jail the dads too and let the kids fend for themselves. You really are an idiot. Of course Ricky Martin is gay....if he were straight any number of women would marry and carry his babies. But he CANNOT carry and its is VERY difficult for gay people to adopt. The shame here is that hhe is still hiding from idiots like you

  • okayy i actually dont think he is gay...theres alooot of men in the world who are not married & that doesnt make them gay c'mon dont put labels in people and besides ricky martin is a great man and he has never done anything bad to people.

  • I personally think he has been for a very long time, and has tried to keep it hush due to his music. It's nice that he wants to be a father, whether he is going in the direction as Clay Aiken..to me it seems very likely he is. Too bad cause he's one hot man!
    anonymous anonymous 9/24/08 Reply
     
  • I think is great that he wants to be a father but what I found weird is that he could have any woman to form a family with but instead he went and decide to be a single dad. A little gay don´t you think.

    usually comes from straight guys that are jealous anyway!

    Congrats!!! I have twins also...they're awesome!

    For the person who commented on no mother figure...I'm sure
    he will give those kids all the love in the world and there will
    probably be a few female figures that surround the babies with
    love also. There are alot of low life parents that have children
    and don't even know how to be a parent. Sounds like you're
    living in a box! This is 2008! Good for him. Those kids are
    very lucky!

    anonymous anonymous 11/26/08 Reply
     
  • Good for you Ricky! You do not need to be married to give your children a love and security, and most importantly, emotional estability that many children that have both parents do not have because their parents are divorced and are more concerned on "whose turn it is to take care of the kids" My mother died when I was 5 years and my father did a great job with all his 4 children. IT IS BETTER TO HAVE ONE GOOD PARENT THAN TWO THAT DO NOT GET ALONG.
    anonymous anonymous 11/29/08 Reply
     
  • Good for you Ricky. I think you will be a great father. Children may need both parents, but nowaday is better to have one good parent. At least your children will never deal with the trauma of children of divorced parents that fight for their custody. Do they really care about their children's feelings? You love children in general so that shows that you will do a great job with your own

  • He's just downright weird now. A guy who wants kids badly but doesn't want to have sex in order to get them? Usually, it's the sex men want and not the kids. Hmmm.... He's probably a pedophile. He seems waaaay too happy around kids.
    anonymous anonymous 12/10/08 Reply
     
    • I think it is obnoxious for you, on 12/10/08, to call Ricky a pedophile. Just because he wanted children and had the money to have them the way he wanted to have them does not mean that he is a pedophile. Children make a lot of people happy. Obviously you need to find out what makes you happy instead of bad mouthing Ricky!!!

    So we are at a time that we can use the medical avances in the way that we need it and, if you have money well BUYYYYY. Just check what is happing with Luis Miguel another Hispanic artis, Now Luis MIguel is thinking why I haven't do it like Ricky Martin

  • He is homosexual. He also has had a sad life because of the MENUDO experience. Maybe he was abused sexually? Children raises by a single parent or same-sex parents are at a disadvantage. Best luck, less selfishness.

    GAYS ARE MISERABLE PEOPLE WHO ONLY CONSIDER
    OR CARE ABOUT THEIR PLEASURE USING A NATURAL OPENING OF THEIR BODIES TO GET SATISFACTION,BUT DISREGARD THAT NATURE PLACED THAT OPENING TO DISCHARGE THE RESIDUAL OF THEIR BODY FEEDINGS.
