Ricky Martin Comes Out and Admits that He is Gay – “I am proud to say that I am a fortunate homosexual man,” Martin wrote in a blog posting at www.rickymartinmusic.com. “This is just what I need especially now that I am the father of two beautiful boys that are so full of light and who with their outlook teach me new things every day. To keep living as I did up until today would be to indirectly diminish the glow that my kids were born with,” Martin wrote. After years of speculation over his sexual orientation, Ricky Martin has come out of the closet in a posting in TMZ. In a lengthy note to his fans published in Spanish and English, Martin says writing his memoirs got him “very close to my truth” and that hiding his sexuality any longer would “indirectly diminish the glow that my kids here born with,” referring to his twin sons, who were born in 2008 to a surrogate mother. Martin says the birth of his twin sons led to his decision to come out — and according to the singer, “To keep living as I did up until today would be to indirectly diminish the glow that my kids where [sic] born with.” The Puerto Rican singer of hits such as “Livin’ la Vida Loca,” has long been the subject of speculation about his sexuality.
