Ricky Martin's closet door

Ricky Martin: I have never talked about who my heart belongs to

Last week, Puerto Rican magazine TV Aqui published a tease on its cover claiming that Ricky Martin told them his heart could belong to a man or woman. But the teaser isn't true.

Andrés Duque of Blabbeando translated a video of the actual interview with Martin:

"Eh, the heart of Ricky Martin? Look, whether it has or doesn't have a male owner or a female owner, I have never spoken about that topic, so don't..."

Duque also points out that the same issue of the magazine published a poll implying that if Martin is gay, he is less masculine because of it.

First pic of Ricky Martin's twins!

People has the first photo of Matteo and Valentino Martin!

Born via surrogate in early August, Ricky Martin's 4-month-old twin boys make their debut in this week's issue, on newsstands Friday.

A "joyful" Martin, 36, spoke with People at home in Puerto Rico about his desire to be a parent, the decision seek the help of a surrogate and caring for twins – with no nanny.

Ricky says: "I don't have a nanny. I'm doing this on my own because I don't want to miss a moment. I have a personal assistant who helps me, someone who takes care of me while I'm taking care of them, but 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. For any parent, the first couple of months tend to get a little bit intense...Adoption was one option, but it's complicated and can take a long time. Surrogacy was an intriguing and faster option. I thought, 'I'm going to jump into this with no fear.'...I love to read books to my sons and tell them stories. I play music for them so they develop their own personalities. I want to give them information and raise them with honesty and love, and give them self-esteem and a lot of acceptance."

Not to brag or anything but we went to the same elementary school in Puerto Rico (Sacred Heart School at University Gardens)from 3rd grade till he was chosen to be in the kids group MENUDO. Kikito as we call him; deserves all the right to be a parent, you can ask anyone who knew or knows him.
Way to go dear friend!! the kids are beautiful, and you know we'll always support you. Nicky Ramos

Honesty.... he's a fine one to speak!

"I want to give them information and raise them with honesty"

How about leading by example?? What sort of honesty is he teaching them by being in the closet all this time when it's glaringly obvious he's gay?

How we each lead our lives is our choice. What does it matter if he's gay? You seem to imply that by not admitting it to himself Ricky couldn't possibly be honest or teach his sons honesty. Ever heard of "Don't do what I did son, it wasn't the best choice", plus given the attitudes towards gay people, if Ricky is gay I can't say I for one blame him for not coming out. Let the man be, I for one wish him & his family all the best.
