As a global icon who has captivated audiences with his music for decades, Ricky Martin has always shared just a bit of his life offstage — but his true pride and joy is being a father. Over the years, the beloved singer has given fans rare glimpses into his growing family, showing how his four children have blossomed under his guidance and love.
In 2023, after six years of marriage, Ricky and his former partner Jwan Yosef announced they were separating, but both emphasized their focus on providing a peaceful and supportive family life for their kids despite the change in their relationship.
Ricky’s journey into fatherhood began in 2008, when he welcomed twin boys, Matteo and Valentino, via surrogate — a moment he has described as one of the most meaningful of his life. The proud dad has often reflected on how his own father’s encouragement shaped him, and how he now clears the path for his sons to pursue their dreams.
These days, the twins are teenagers and continue to grow up in the spotlight — albeit quietly. Photos from recent outings show Matteo and Valentino looking strikingly grown up and tall, even nearly matching their dad’s height in rare group shots shared on social media. The boys have also been spotted at events with Ricky, showcasing their distinct personalities and styles as they navigate their teenage years.
After the twins came along, Ricky’s family expanded again with the birth of daughter Lucia in 2018 and son Renn in 2019, both also born via surrogate. Lucia, now full of creativity and charm, has been described by her dad as a little artist who brings joy to the household with her drawings and sunny disposition, while young Renn is known for his expressive personality and playful energy.
Ricky doesn’t share images of his younger kids as often, but when he does, fans are quick to shower the posts with love. A rare beach snapshot showed him snuggling Lucia and Renn, wrapped in towels and smiling after a day in the sun — a reminder that, for Ricky, the simplest family moments mean the most.
Despite their divorce, Ricky and Jwan have remained dedicated co-parents, making decisions together that prioritize stability and happiness for their children. In public statements, they emphasized their commitment to raising the kids with love, respect, and dignity, turning what could have been a painful transition into a model of peaceful parenting.
Through it all, Ricky has continued to balance his storied music career with his role as a devoted father. Whether it’s sharing candid behind-the-scenes moments from tours or spotlighting adorable family photos, he makes it clear that his children — Matteo, Valentino, Lucia, and Renn — are at the center of his world.
