It’s a cliché to say that kids grow up fast, but a photo posted by Ricky Martin yesterday seems to prove the point.
The singer and actor’s oldest kids are his twins, Matteo and Valentino. They were born via a surrogate in August 2008. We remember it like it was yesterday!
Well, those twins are now aged 14, and Martin posted a photo of one of them—Valentino.

Martin captioned the photo, “Baby no more. #myson #Tino 14 years old.”
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.
The photo has prompted over 300K likes in less than 24 hours and elicited thousands of comments. People are blown away first at how quickly his twins are growing up. They also say they can see a strong resemblance between father and son.
“WOW! Doppelgänger! Time goes so fast,” commented Andy Cohen.
“Is he 14?!” said Mexican social media influencer Juanpa Zurita. “I barely grow a beard and I’m 26.”
“Not possible, they were babies yesterday,” said photographer Luke Austin.
Ricky’s husband, Jwan Yosef, responded with three love-heart-eyed emojis: “😍😍😍”

Ricky married Jwan in 2017. They are fathers to four children. Besides their twins, they had a daughter Lucia Martin-Yosef in December 2018, followed by another son, Renn Martin-Yosef, in October 2019.
In addition recently releasing new music, Ricky will star in Apple+ TVs Mr. and Mrs. American Pie, due for release later this year.

I hate my family genetics. Really. I hate my family genetics.

14 already! Time flies. Cute teen.
CatholicXXX
Is that what 14 looks like now? I thought he was at least 18-19
LumpyPillows
Yeah, it’s what puberty does. Well unless some loon medicated you.
Man About Town
To me he looks like he’s in his mid-20s!
4Rjunior
Damn dude your hot ?. I can’t believe he is just 14. He looks so much older. ?????
jcool
i feel kind of dirty thinking a 14 year old is hot. but he is. it’s not my fault.
thebaddestbabby
it is your fault. regulate yourself and spend less time indulging inappropriate thoughts

Interesting to see Ricky and Josef adopting the baggy, boxy trousers trend in the last photo. Has anyone here given up their ‘skinny’ jeans yet?
Agility
That pic is 7 years old
bachy
Wow! Didn’t know Ricky and Josef were so ahead of the trends!
thebaddestbabby
skinny jeans have been passé for like 10+ years now my dude
bachy
Do tell us then, babby: what’s trending in men’s trousers?
thebaddestbabby
baggy, boxy trousers
bachy
Someone needs to inform Los Angeles!
Ronbo
Not just LA; It’s a world-wide phenomenon.
Someone must be hanging out at a Walmart.
thebaddestbabby
wait, are y’all seriously saying that skinny jeans are still the height of fashion? they are a basics!
bachy
I refuse to say anything further about fashion before I check in with baddestbabby!
thebaddestbabby
correct! I know everything when it comes to fashion

I couldn’t grow a stache until 18 – I think I’m experiencing retroactive facial hair envy if that’s a thing.

With comments such as these, groomer discourse isn’t dying anytime soon.
SDR94103
he looks 30.
MSM
Ok yes he is cute, but there is something that smacks of pedophelia here, and it doesnt belong.
abfab
Hey now, we’ll consider the source of THAT comment, creep.
Leo
Ephebophilia.
nm4047
isn’t that cute, still got some chocolate milk on his to lip. He’s fuc*ing 14, next Martin will be complaining that his kid is being trolled (by his nephew). Indication of your fading fame when you need to use your kid for some relevance of your existance.
abfab
Wow!
prttymn33
Or, a proud Dad shared a picture of his kid on his instagram.
Damn, bitter bitch, a little?
bachy
Interesting how quickly borderline personality types haul out veiled accusations of grooming and pedophilia whenever people are discussing children. It’s the new, manufactured power play, not unlike calling all men “rap|sts.”
charlie_jackpot
Looks more like Brooklyn Beckham

How disturbing that y’all are commenting on a 14 yr old BOY. Way to continue the stereotype of gay guys being sexual predators. He’s a minor you sickos
thebaddestbabby
i dunno, saying a 14 yo kid is cute is pretty normal and wholesome. and mostly harmless, as long as it’s just talk (the harm being the kid gets an inflated ego). straight people talk like this all the time. go to any high school event and you’ll hear moms crushing on the cute teen boys. hardly surprising, most people romanticize youth and/or wants to be young again
LegionKeign
Calling a 14 year old “HOT” is not something a normal person says out loud. JFC! Don’t we have enough problems with the christo-fascists in this country without trolls and geezers letting folks know how effin’ pathetic they are.
He’s cute and looks like his Papa. PERIOD.
Don’t make shit so hard on everyone else. Think before opening that gaping maw you call a mouth and don’t let your spindly fingers type out shit that could draw the attention of our enemies. Try for once to think about your community before starting some shit.
Now the trolls who live on this site will have plenty to share over at breibart and the other havens of hate. Queerty is corporate owned which in the usa means conservative owned, that means they look for shit like what some of you nasty ho’s posted about that BOY and they will use it against us. TRUST.
Dumb, b**ches.
thebaddestbabby
“cute” = acceptable, wholesome. “hot” = obviously sexual, unacceptable. simple as!
Ronbo
Graham Gremore displays the worst of corporate greed often posting anti-gay content for personal profit. He even accused a successful progressive gay candidate, Alex Morse, of predating on youth (in repeated false “news” stories) to help a much more conservative politician win. Graham did NOT apologize and has been laughing all the way to the bank. His Ill gotten gains hurt the entire community.
In the process, Graham Gremore handed FOX their most recent anti-gay theme of LGBTQ predators and “grooming” of youth. Unfortunately, there are comments here which will make it onto FOX news to confirm the nonsense.
Caelestius
Aww, c’mon. It’s obvious the kid is well into puberty, and it’s still ok in America to express yourself, if actions don’t violate the law or anyone’s physical space.
Teens mature at different rates. But the laws can’t accommodate that variation, so lawmakers pick an average age to be the threshold. It doesn’t mean we’re obliged to talk like sexless automatons, and never utter the obvious for fear of upsetting Ted Cruz or A Million Moms. We can be honest in casual conversation without acting on transgressive desires, and certainly without censoring ourselves to please the insane Christian Right.

The ones who find it unacceptable to make comments on kids are the ones who belong to the party of the guilty. It’s your sick mind that sexualizes them, not the other way around. I think they are adorable!
