Last night, Latin pop musician and actor Ricky Martin announced the birth of his daughter Lucia.
Lucia is Martin’s third child, following his two older twin sons, Valentino and Matteo. Both sons are about 10 years old.
“We are excited to announce that we have become parents of a beautiful and healthy girl whom we have named Lucia Martin-Yosef. This has undoubtedly been a unique birthday and celebration of Christmas in our lives. Both her brothers, Jwan and I are completely in love with our baby and grateful to be able to start this 2019 with the best gift we could receive — the gift of life.”
Lucia’s last name is a hyphenation of Martin’s and his husband’s, Jwan Yosef‘s. Yosef is a hunky artist he secretly married last January. The two first announced their engagement in 2016.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Here’s the Instagram post announcing Ricky Martin’s newborn daughter, Lucia:
In the past, Martin said that he wished his sons could be gay. That may seem an odd admission, but he explained he wanted his boys to experience the same strength and outlook he discovered upon coming out.
“My kids are too young,” he said, “but I wish they were gay. It is a very special thing. The sensitivity, the way I see now, that I don’t have to hide in any way shape or form. I see colors. And then you see the rainbow. I understand why the symbol is the rainbow. It’s just real. Everything is tangible. It makes me a stronger person.”

It’s most likely that Martin and Yosef birthed their daughter through a gestational surrogate. But we secretly hope they used stem cell technology to create a child together, something which is biologically possible but has yet to be done, as far as we know.
Considering that he couple has a habit of regularly posting thirst pics on Instagram, their daughter is likely to be ridiculously good-looking … and artistically talented.
Congrats to the new fathers!

I agree with you on the congrats to Ricky and Jwan. But please, if you can, don’t retype that spammer’s name, because it’s giving it free promo, since the URL is the name. Queerty stopped regular posters from adding links, but for whatever reason they’re allowing names with Internet domains (TLDs) in them, which allows the spammer to get around the links ban. Maybe Queerty doesn’t know how to write code to stop this but surely some CS whiz who’s on here does and can help them to stop this.

She’ll be raised around music, for sure. Love and good wishes to all the family.
