When last we saw new papa Ricky Martin he was posing on the cover of People En Español magazine introducing his twin sons Matteo and Valentino to the world. Since then, father and sons have been keeping a relatively low profile out of the public eye. At last, the Martin men have surfaced in NYC where they were spied enjoying a brisk winter stroll in Central Park last week:
Despite the frigid temps, Ricky thought it would be nice to bundle up his boys and pack them into a baby stroller to push them around in the cold NYC weather … tho, I’m not sure why. In any event, it appears that Ricky is happily enjoying his new role as single dad. I seem to recall that Ricky was seriously dating some chick a couple of years ago but we don’t hear very much about any love interest in his life these days. I wonder whatever happened to that chick? Since Ricky‘s sons were born via gestational surrogacy, I assume the woman who bore the children is not at all involved with Ricky or the twins at all. HMMM. Clearly, Ricky heeded the call of his biological clock and decided to take on fatherhood all on his own. I wonder if he will ever find true, honest love. As wonderful as being a parent is, I’m sure, I hope he is able to be honest with himself and find that special someone to share his life and his new family with.

The bio mother could very well be in their lives (as a 50/50 parent). We don’t know what is going on behind the scenes and I don’t think we should make assumptions about their arrangement.
Okay, General Hospital and La Vida Loca aside, I really respect Ricky Martin’s attitude towards his personal life and the press. I enjoy the fact that he’s protected his right to love whomever he wants without have to divulge the gender of the individual to the world. Good on him.
I agree with JJ, just because he’s not discusing his private life in a magazine doesn’t mean he will hide things from his kids in the future.
K – I don’t understand, you have a problem with surrogacy but you think it’s OK to adopt? I just don’t see how one can be more problematic than the other. Adopted kids might not be able to know their biological mother/father either. I think what matters in the end is that the kids are raised by people who loves them.
