Awe, man, Ricky….you can do WAAAAAYYYYY better than HIM! You shouldn’t have to “settle”!
DTG
Seriously, who cares? I know this might be not have the same impact as when said to a straight guy…but get off Ricky’s dick. We finally have confirmation that he’s gay. Fine. He, I guess, has a BF. Terrific for him. In the grand scheme of things, none of this affects the rest of the world.
What else is happening in the news?

@ #3 Hey, it’s a gossip blog. Of course, you’re going to read gossip on a gossip blog.

I’ll file this under “Things That Don’t Affect My Life In Any Way”.
Happy for Ricky, but this is really none of my business.
fredo777
@pg: TMZ is a gossip site. Queerty is a blog with gay-oriented stories.

@Wade MacMorrighan: Have you actually ever met Carlos Gonzales? Probably Not. Therefore you are in no position to pass judgement on whether or not Ricky Martin ”can do WAAAAAYYYYY better than HIM!” If you have made your judgement based on how Carlos looks he actually looks great and you should stop passing judgement based on appearances.
Cam
@Wade, he can do way better? how so? by being a typical idiot celeb and dating some 21 year old goldigger? The guy is good looking, age appropriate, and most importantly has his own job. Seems like a decent match.
AlanInSLCUtah
They are both hot, and from the looks of the pics we’ve all seen, look like a cute couple. They haven’t (thus far) thrown themselves at the public for attention, so for that I respect them that much more.
Dude
Girls look at the series of pics with his “bf.” The man his hot with gorgeous legs!!! Grrrrrrrrrr
aalan brickman
Hopefully they won’t be Media whores Like Marc Jacobs and his partner…
AJ Rodriguez
That guy is not his boyfriend. It is Eric Martin, Ricky Martin’s half brother. Can you see they look a like? If you’re gonna report gossip, make sure it’s accurate. Don’t follow Perez’ example of bad gossiping!
JaimeInMiami
@AJ Rodriguez: why do people keep insisting this is erik? it’s not! it doesn’t even look a little like him! erik morales is a trainer at my gym in PR. this is not erik. erik is short with tattoos on his arm.
Hilarious
I was amused how the pictures weren’t proof enough for most people when they originally came out. Now straight people everywhere claim they knew he was gay.
KAO
It is not widely known, but on this trip to the beach at St Barts, which was on Ricky’s birthday in 2006, there were also 2 women present. One lady known to his fans as a very good friend of Ricky, the other, a VERY pregnant lady. Some of the not so published photos showed “Carlos” and this lady cuddle for a photo together.
i.e. we have no clue who this man is, but he surely is NOT gay with a pregnant wife/gf. Besides look at the time line. 18 months of relationship brings us back to October 2008, not December 2006. The picture of “Carlos” walking behind Ricky in an Airport was taken in South Africa in July 2008. I.e. the only time they have been photographed in the same place was the pictures where Ricky and the boys are getting on the bus to go to DC last Christmas time.
Ricky’s female friend was also present at that airport as was Jose Vega, his manager at the time.
I feel sorry for this man who may just be an innocent male friend of Ricky and possibly even straight, to be dragged into all these speculations.
Add to this it may not even be the same man in all 3 pictures.

If Ricky and this Carlos Gonzales have been together one and a half years the man on the beach isn’t Carlos because the photo was taken in 2005 December. God, you are ignorant.
That man on the beach isn’t Ricky’s brother either. I know Just Jared/ Ricky’s fans said it is, but it’s mostly because of Ricky’s rabid fans who posted to JJ site back then. They are lying or ignorant.
Jaimeinmiami is right, not Eric, that is Ricky’s brother.

Kao, that’s what geing in the closet means. You can’t be walking around with your bf being photographed if you’re in the closet.
If you can’t even tell that the man in the 3 beach pics is the same, I don’t know what to say. Just because he has a hat in one of the pics, you can’t see the similarity?? Are you saying there were two men in exactly same kind of swimsuit in St. Barths? LOLLL Calm down and use your brain and eyes.
KAO
Duh, Same man in St Barths of course… But blogs have published 2 other pictures, which I clearly specified to you if you had read my post. 1 at an airport and one getting on a bus for a road trip. My point was that Guy from the beach may not be the guy at the airport and at bus.

And what do you know… to the left… woman No 2 from the beach!
[img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v26/Hecky/bewE4BF6A.jpg[/img] On the way to DC on a road trip
Both journeys… very romantic… first a bunch of friends along second let’s bring the kids!!!
I do realize what being in the closet means, I was merely commenting on ppl speculating on time frames etc and pointing out someone who just may be a random friend.
Now have a looksie at this picture and tell me THIS isnt the couple on the beach together with Ricky, Rondine Alcala (Ricky’s publicist) and Carlos David (One of Ricky’s backup singers). All Im trying to prove is that it’s not the same guy.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v26/Hecky/RMwCarlosnRondenen2more.jpg
See… blogs and rags cut the pics the way they want, publish only what suits them to dupe ppl into believing the rumors they started.
I am in no way in denial that Ricky actually is gay, all I want is that the facts should be straight (no pun intended). I mean what if this guy actually has a family?
Even the rabid latin american media report that this guy has not confirmed he is gay and is “straight acting” (whatever that means).
Whatever, Im off my soapbox.

this kind of inane chatter is why it is so much better to be rich and anonymous rather than rich and famous. being in the public eye allows, nay encourages, all kinds of ignorant as well as informed attention to yourself.

@fredo777: But you’re here, aren’t you? And you’ve read this story, haven’t you? Hypocritical numbskull!
Susan Bernstein
@KAO: Yes, this is not his boyfriend. This is Ricky’s brother. These pictures are some 2 years old? But yes, this is Ricky’s younger brother. Nice try.
