Frankly, I have always suspected Ricky Martin was gay; don’t ask me why but maybe the way he carries himself. I am sure a lot of his female fans do not agree since he looks pretty suave after all. However, after having children, Ricky felt that he couldn’t live in a lie any more. He decided to publicly tell the world that he is gay, even appearing on Oprah to talk about him coming out of the closet.
It was his two-year old twin children born via surrogate who helped him to realise that he needs to be open about his sexuality. “I couldn’t take it anymore. It was too painful. But I guess the most important thing is my children… When I was holding them in my arms I was like, ‘What, am I gonna teach them how to lie?’ Whoa, that is my blessing right there. Then, when I was holding my children I said, ‘Okay, it’s time to tell the world.'”
Ricky Martin will be releasing his memoir “Me” today where he opens up about everything from his experiences in Menudo to his sexuality and fatherhood.
