Ricky Martin & Jwan Yosef

Some of Hollywood’s sweetest couples keep their romance secret, but Ricky Martin and his husband Jwan Yosef don’t belong in that category. Jwan, a Syrian-born Swedish painter, and artist of Kurdish and Armenian origins, often showcases his creative process and snaps of life at home to his 568,000 Instagram followers. Their relationship flourished on social media to an adorable degree. The couple has been married since 2018, and Lucia Martin-Yosef was born in December of the same year. She joined Ricky’s 10-year-old twins, Matteo and Valentino.

“A lot of people tell me, ‘Well, your kids are on the covers of magazines and blah, blah, blah,’ and I’m like, ‘Yes because I want to normalize this,'” the singer said of his twin boys, Valentino and Matteo, whom he and his artist husband are raising. “I want people to see a family in me and think, ‘There’s nothing wrong with that.’ It’s a requirement of my mission. My children inquire about having two fathers, and I explain that we are a modern family. It is a wonderful feeling of liberation.”
