Every human in this world deserves equal right to live and to love without any hesitation and fear of societal rejection. Although the world has progressed a lot, there are still leaps to take and changes to bring to make this world a better place for all.
Taking a leap forward Ricky Martin, the famous singer had gotten into a married relationship with his gay husband, Jwan Yosef. His life-changing step has been an inspiration to many and a lesson that there is nothing wrong with being with the one that makes one happy.
Let's take a look at his family life along with details on his wiki, past affairs and kids.
Ricky Martin And Husband Jwan Yosef Relationship And Children; A Family Man
Ricky Martin is living his best life right now as he is in a same-sex marriage with Jwan Yosef. The pair tied the knot at Ricky's native country Puerto Rico but the wedding details are unknown and he revealed about the wedding at The Ellen DeGeneres Show.
Not much was known but now Ricky finally opened up about how he met his husband Jwan and about their life. The pair even has twin sons from a surrogate mother and recently became fathers of a daughter too. The lovebirds strive to make their kids proud and full of self-esteem and accept themselves without any fear.
Talking about his relationship with his husband, Martin candidly explains that it took time to build his relationship with the contemporary artist.
"I contacted him, and we talked for six months. We were just sending messages, talking about life and existential issues. Nothing sexy, nothing sexual. It's not that he was sending me sexy pictures and vice versa, I swear. But when I first saw him, I said, 'I am going to marry this guy.'And apparently, he said exactly the same thing."
The singer further added.
"Obviously, he only told me this, later on, you have to keep it to yourself at first! But I lost my breath when I saw him. Six months' build-up and it was very romantic."
Being homosexual couple, Ricky and his husband are really happy after getting married and the singer chooses to use their visibility and post on his Instagram to inspire other gay men around the world to open up about themselves and be proud.
Talking about his efforts and support for the LGBTQ community.
"We love it! It's not even for us; it's for our kids. It's for my kids to look at us on that red carpet and say, 'Ah, those are my daddies, how cool!' And to boost my children with self-esteem and let them understand how amazing it is to be part of a modern family."
He further added;
"We know that we carry this flag and if we're going to carry this flag, let's sway this flag really loudly. Because at the end of the day, we're proud of who we are. Just being visible is a lot of help. That's my activism. Every time I post a picture of me and my husband on Instagram, that's my activism. And we'll keep fighting."
He definitely seems happier and with his noble effort to encourage other gay men to be free of fear, the couple is trying to be the best possible role models for their kids.
