Ricky Martin Welcomes Twin Boys

Ricky Martin Welcomes Twin Boys

Ricky Martin welcomed twin boys a few weeks ago via a surrogate mother, his rep reveals. The 36-year-old Latin sensation will take a year off to be a full-time dad and raise the twins. Interesante!!!!!

“The children, delivered via gestational surrogacy, are healthy and already under Ricky’s full-time care,” his rep said in a statement. “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.”

Congrats to Ricky and his two new sons!

Earlier this month, American Idol alum Clay Aiken, 29, and music producer pal Jaymes Foster, welcomed a baby boy also through artificial insemination.

It seems artificial insemination is the new “it” thing in Hollywood these days!

interesting! I don’t know why but I have less problems with lesbians having kids, perhaps because I feel strongly that all babies deserve a mother.

THIS CONFIRMS THAT HE IS GAY! HE’S NOT FOOLING ANYONE… NO GUY THAT LOOKS AS GOOD AS HIM SHOULD HAVE TO ARTIFICIALLY INSEMEMINATE!!! UNLESS HE’S SCARED OF THE VA JAY JAY! Lol

# 3

This goes to show he’s soooo gay. A man that can have any woman he wants, chooses a surrogate?! Its not like he looks like Michael Jackson or Clay Aiken. Not that there’s anything wrong with it all, but just come out and say it papi =p

# 4

I never knew what to think about the rumors of his being gay. Mostly I thought it was untrue. Now I know he really is. It’s his private life so I don’t blame him for not being upfront about it, though. The thing is that with this he has just outed himself.

# 5

What?! When did this happen? Haha!

# 6

Who cares if he is gay or not, this is a beautiful moment in his life and to the Idiot who said she/he preffers seeing lesbians becoming mothers, nice job being a bigot!!!!!!

Please, bite your tongue. Perez Hilton? Oh, my heart would bleed for any childl this man touches.

He’s a great guy, I’m sure he will be a wonderful father. Congrats Ricky!

So he is indeed Gay…it’s ok Rickie

not aging well

gOD dAMN
GAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ugh

Congrats!

But it sounds like ‘traditional’ and not ‘gestational’ surrogacy since he doesn’t have a female partner. Gestational surrogacy is usually for couples who are not conceiving and only need another woman to carry the infant. A traditional surrogate uses her own eggs and carries the baby but may not have a relationship with the father.

congrats to Ricky
to all u haters leave him alone!!!!!!!!!
his life is noooo ones business
this is about being a father lets grow up
if we like him and his music cool
other than that lets wish him well
BACK OFF!!!!!!!!!

So, this basically confirms he’s gay. Nice. I guess he’s in relationship with that hot guy from those beach pictures we saw last year.

I don’t hate him but he is gay, I think that much has been known for about ten years now. Congrats on the babies!

Ricky is hot @ 08/20/2008 at 4:45 pm

Why no adoption ?

CONGRATS GAY AKIEN, BUT I STILL LOVE HIM ANYWAYS BUT NOT AS MUCH AS ENRIQUE IGELESIS ;)

Who cares if he is gay or not, that is his business. Way to go Ricky!!

creeped out @ 08/20/2008 at 5:03 pm

Thats just weird the poor kids they have a gay daddy & no mamma

Happy for Ricky @ 08/20/2008 at 5:33 pm

The babies will have a wonderful father. Ricky Martin really has a deep love and sensitivity for children. He has been working tirelessly behind the scenes for years to eradicate child abuse in different countries. He’s like Angelina Jolie in that he has such a heart for kids who don’t have a family. I remember him talking about having children a few years back. It’s the one thing he dreamt of passionately. I’m so happy he has finally gotten his family.

He is a SICK GAY!!!

He looks terrible. He was so cute! What happened? Ricky, time to come out of the gay closet!

I read somewhere that he has Aids!!!

He is gay! and i fell sorry for thesse kids !!! wtf happening which the world today????

Gay or not.. congrats :)

ricky fan @ 08/20/2008 at 6:45 pm

Congrats to Ricky! I’m so happy for him! He’ll make a great dad!

Being gay doesn’t make anyone unqualified to be a good parent. Congratulations to Ricky and his new sons.

(What’s up with all these twins being born lately? Is it something in the water?)

Shannon M. @ 08/20/2008 at 7:23 pm

Ricky Martin is so GAY!!!! Like everyone has said on here that he is a good looking guy and could get any girl but to have a surrogate just proves that he is gay. All the signs are there. I mean I have nothing against gay people but he just seems to be ashamed to admit it.

OMG 1st thing i did when reading this was raise my eyebrow and say “wow, so he is oficially out the closet!”

OMG 1st thing i did when reading this was raise my eyebrow and say “wow, so he is oficially out the closet!”

Can’t wait to hear their names!

Who cares if he’s gay or not. Get over it.

Gay men should NOT be allowed to have children!

Really so? @ 08/20/2008 at 8:50 pm

He is gay? Since when ? I have never heard of that. Men I am so out of touch..lol
Too bad he is a good looking guy.

awwwww lol Congrats to Ricky but that is VERY GAY

so he’s officially gay now *cough*

He is gay. Now it cannot be disputed.

he is a parent now. Good for him. Good for the kids. I hope he becomes a great father, better than what he knows he can be. I hope his kids appreciate him. What can I say? I am not gayphobic. I just think if they are gay, then say, (Clay Aiken, maybe Kenny Chesney and others). It is not a big deal. This is not 1955.

@mully

I would rather say moronic men or women should NOT be allowed to have children!

btw. you suffer from the worst diease at all: **** for brains

I personally don’t think that he is gay, I know for a fact that years ago he said that he had his heart broken when he had been in a relationship for years and he went on tour to promote an album and found out that while she was living in his house she had been cheating on him. I think it may make it hard for him to trust people as well as know what there true intentions are when you meet them.
I have know problem with him wanting to be a single father I think that we all should congratulate him on making the decision to be that. And knowing and understanding that decision even when he has said in previous interviews that he would like to have a family. If they are with someone special that would be great if not, he would’ve love to have adopted some kids. But we all know how the system is with single men adopting kids society has this notion of it will be part of child trafficing. Congratulations! Ricky

At least he didnt make a show of a fake marriage. AT least he didnt take a woman for a ride.

artificial insemination is the new “it” thing in Hollywood especially when you’re into guys and the sight of a woman makes you ill

@Kelly

Jesus *****, go back to school instead of worrying about “the world we live in”. What? You want to live in the 50s where women were treated like cattle and minorities like dogs? You’ve been raise with this idealised image of what the past was, but let me tell you that any “sick perversion” you think the modern age is afflicted with, was happening back then in the good old days too, people just didn’t talk about.

Congratulation to Ricky and Clay and Michael Jackson and all the other gays who want to play house. If single-mothers can do it why can’t you?

“Who cares if he’s gay or not. Get over it.”

If nobody cares why doesn’t he COME OUT OF THE CLOSET then.
It’s about the time, but he doesn’t have the guts. What a pathetic closet case.

“I personally don’t think that he is gay, I know for a fact that years ago he said that he had his heart broken when he had been in a relationship for years and he went on tour to promote an album and found out that while she was living in his house she had been cheating on him. I think it may make it hard for him to trust people as well as know what there true intentions are when you meet them.”

Omg, the most delusional fan girl ever, lol. Do people like this really exist, is this for real or trolling. She is worse than claymates in denial.

gosh i so wanna have twin boys !! :D ……i think people should mind their own f.u.c.k.i.n’ business ! damn, give him a break….it’s his life, not yours………i don’t blame him for being gay or wanting to have kids..congrats to him. i hope he’ll be out of spotlight for real, not like others who affirmed they’d take a year off to raise their twins, and just some months after they’re boasting out there [ not pointing out mrs Jennifer Lopez in particular at all! :p ]….. good luck…

ps: what happened to him? i never really found ricky that “hot” but he was kinda cute and in that pic he’s eww!

poor kids, he will insist on sleeping with them all their life. You know he will touch them ewwwwwwwwwwwwww
gay men should not be allowed to have kids, they will turn them into freaks, they are pedophiles they are sick sick sick

Congratulations Ricky! You are going to be a great Dad. I want to see the mama too!!! Maybe someday?

Nice to know.

OK hes Gay… But he don’t need to tell anyone… did he ever say no i’m not?? :S

>> “gay men should not be allowed to have kids, they will turn them into freaks, they are pedophiles they are sick sick sic”

So if gay men are ’sick & pedophiles’, and all the gay men I know come from straight parents, shouldn’t it be ’straight ‘ people who aren’t allowed to have kids?

So much ignorance so little hope.

CONGRATS RICKY… i think that he deserves being a dad.. he helps a lot of children all around the world so for me it doesn’t matter the method he chose to be a dad..

Those babies have a great dad.

If he is gay or not.. is not for me to question….

La vida choka @ 08/21/2008 at 9:23 pm

All of the gay haters- put yo glasses on…the world has changed.
move with it , or be STUCK in it. Ricky is Maverick 4 this move. He’s doing his thing, gay or not.
To Ricky: raise yo kids bruh..and **** da haters- evil “god fearing”
*******. u’ve made lots of people happy with yo music..it’s your time now. enjoy

Been a fan forever since the Menudo days, Congrats Ricky. Wish him and his babies the best. He deserves it. And for those of you who have nothing nice to say,say nothing at all. Keep your comments to yourself.

i lived in mejico city for a while and worked as a model for 9 years and got the opportunity to meet ricky a few times.
he is a sweet guy, but oh so bisexual.
i met him 4 times and all 4 times he was very flirty and managed to “slip” and grope my ass while we were taking pictures and one time while i was saying hello to him (two kisses - european style) he got uncomfortably close to my lips.
but who cares!?!
he is a sweet, sweet man.
and i say rock on that he has kids now. he will make a great dad. but yes, he is bisexual, people.

Congrats Ricky!
If you have time to read this web, you will see how many “Paris Hilton” women are in this world. Its better to have the kids like you did than have one of this “Paris” like their mom.

PD: People, do you have a life?

i think it’s great!!! .I am only sorry that probably few women will have a chance to “experience ” him. He is SO good-looking and emanates sex!!!!!

ALEJANDRA @ 08/25/2008 at 5:18 pm

PATO!!!! FINALLY THE TRUTH….

THOSE OF YOU WHO SAY IT OK ITS NOT BUT ONLY PERSON WILL BE ABLE TO JUDGE ON THAT AND WE ALL KNOW WHO THAT IS IT JUST WRONG AND NASTY FOR MEN AND MEN OR WOMEN AND WOMEN TO BE TOGETHER

he’d already come out and said he’s gay earlier in the year…how is this new?

congrats to him, he’ll be a wonderful father, i just hope he can handle the two at once lol

I cant stand how gay men use women to have children for thm like that. Just adopt some kids that need homes already. Stop taking advantage of women. I wonder how much he paid the surrogate.

Oh Larisa, if any one is a bigot, I guess it must be God. His nerve, not letting men give birth!

Babies deserve a mother and a father, (1 man & 1 woman) but especially a mother. We were made for pregnancy and it is not a “equal opportunity job” - when a man’s milk comes in, then maybe it’ll be time to reconsider.

Why don’t we just recycle babies doomed for abortion, so they don’t go to waste, then nearly anyone who wants one is happy. (yes, even single gay men.) Better than painfully sucking their little brains out.

Hey U those pics from the beach, that guy is his brother, didn’t you notice the uncanny resemblance?
and even if someone’s gay that doen’st make them incestuous automatically.
congratz to Ricky

for your info he has adopted in the past.
you guys run your mouth but
maybe its because rebecca is older then him that
might be a reason and I am sure she wouldn’t want to ruin her figure
and he has said that he is not gay.
I had inviro AND i AM NOT GAY
ALL THIS GAY CRAP
CAN SOMEONRE PROVE IT
YOU CAN MAKE TONS OF CASH
DUMB @@@@@

DO YOU HAVE TO BE GAY WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
LOL

he will be an awesome dad……..who cares if he is gay or not

IGNORANT people can be so cruel….. what @ all those women that have abortions or give up their babies…… what @ all those men that have kids and don’t even provide for them or see them …..PLEASE !!! Ricky is a fallen angel and he will be more of a mother and a father than anyone else will ever be!!!!! HE IS A GREAT MAN !!!!
