Ricky Martin appeared on a recent episode of Ellen<\/em> 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Martin said he wants to \u201cnormalize\u00a0families<\/a> like mine\u201d which have two parents of the same gender.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWell, you know what, every time I have the opportunity to No. 1, talk about my family and let the world know that we\u2019re good people, and how we feel and love is really — I just want to normalize families like mine.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

The performer, who recently appeared on the cover of\u00a0PEOPLE<\/em> magazine\u2019s Pride Issue, said he wants to normalize same-sex parents and families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said: \u201cI\u2019m very happy. People ask me, \u2018How do you feel [about being on the magazine cover]?\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWell, you know what, every time I have the opportunity to No. 1, talk about my family and let the world know that we\u2019re good people, and how we feel and love is really\u2014 I just want to normalize families like mine.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
