Ricky Martin, who turns 50 on Christmas Eve, gave his followers the best start to the week: posting a photo of himself in the bath.
To the disappointment of some, he’s not actually naked but wearing swimming trunks. The photo comes from a new promo video shoot. In his Instagram stories, he revealed the project is being overseen by Costa Rican photographer Daniela Vesco.
Vesco posted to her own stories the same image, saying, “Excited for my debut as director for this amazing music video with my absolute favorite @ricky_martin ❤️ Thank you Ricky! ❤️❤️”

Martin’s image has now racked up nearly half a million likes, significantly more than most of his Instagram posts. There’s no word yet on what song the video is for, but we already can’t wait to see it.
Among those to comment was Martin’s husband, Jwan Yosef, who simply said, “Oh HELLO 😍”
The men tied the knot in 2017 and are fathers to four children.

I don’t understand the shorts in the bathtub thing. And why would his husband comment? Hasn’t he seen his man more naked than this before?
I think 50, even when you still have a great body, is too old for thirsty sh!t like this. But, I guess he needs to stay relevant and this is the best way of doing that. Whatever. Happy 1/2 century, Ricky.

Why does the number count? If you have a good body, you have a good body, period. I’d much rather see his 50 y/o body than the majority of 20 something’s.

What a disgusting ageist comment from probably a Gen Z troll. You will get old and the grim reaper will come for you someday. Everyone ages you stupid child.

What you mean is that he’s too old for you. No need to ascribe yourself on everyone else. Not everyone is obsessed with twinks and twunks btw.
Also I’m not even much of a Ricky Martin fan but the pictures are hot.

He is pure sex. RM will always be one of my top 5. I can’t understand a lick of Spanish but I happily listen to the stuff he’s put out in the past 10-13 years.

So handsome !!!! Love Ricky Martin. Beautiful man and human being. He has been my favorite artist since he released his first album in 1991.

Pic like that and he can sing “Baby Shark” over and over and I’d watch!

En la Argentina le llamaremos muy bien guapo por haber cumplido 50 anos y aparece magnifico, anque no estoy un fanatico de el. English: In Argentina we’d call him great looking for having gotten to 50 years and looking magnificent although i ‘m not a fan of his.
