On Monday, Ricky Martin posted a passionate and well-crafted blogpost on his official website officially coming out to the world as a gay man. Today we are hearing that the timing of Ricky‘s announcement may have come due to a threat that someone else was planning to out him instead. The Miami Hearld is reporting that Ricky‘s “Puerto Rican boyfriend” was tired of keeping the secret and may’ve been ready to expose his secret:

We hear rumblings that the reason Martin stopped living his (rather badly concealed) lie was that his boyfriend, a fellow Puerto Rican, was tired of living in hiding and threatened to expose his sexuality.

It’s unclear if the man photographed above with Ricky Martin back in 2005 is this same boyfriend reportedly threatening him now but it’s possible that he’s been with the same partner this whole time. It turns out the man photographed above is Ricky‘s half-brother … so no boyfriend here. I posted these photos back in December ’05 on my blog and remember commenting then how free and liberated Ricky looked on the beach in his tiny speedo. It’s unknown if Ricky was involved with his current boyfrend way back then but I hope that Ricky has been living happily for quite some time now — even if in secret (as you can imagine, I was very happy to post any photos of Ricky Martin in a speedo … you know, for obvs reasons). Whether he was threatened with exposure or not, I’m still very happy that Ricky finally decided to come out of the closet. He now stands as a new public figure that countless young gays struggling with their own identities can identify with … and for that, kudos to him!
