Ricky Martin wants to normalize our families

Ricky Martin appeared on a recent episode of Ellen and he spoke about being a proud gay man who is parenting with his husband. Martin married his artist partner, Jwan Yosef, in 2017 and the pair are raising four children together.

Martin said he wants to “normalize families like mine” which have two parents of the same gender.

“Well, you know what, every time I have the opportunity to No. 1, talk about my family and let the world know that we’re good people, and how we feel and love is really — I just want to normalize families like mine.”

The couple’s family includes twin boys Matteo and Valentino, 12, a daughter, Lucia, who is 2, and a 19-month old son, Renn.

The performer, who recently appeared on the cover of PEOPLE magazine’s Pride Issue, said he wants to normalize same-sex parents and families.

He said: “I’m very happy. People ask me, ‘How do you feel [about being on the magazine cover]?’

“Well, you know what, every time I have the opportunity to No. 1, talk about my family and let the world know that we’re good people, and how we feel and love is really— I just want to normalize families like mine.”
