Ricky Martin and Jwan Yosef are Divorcing After 6 Years
Singer Ricky Martin and artist Jwan Yosef, who share two kids, announced they are separating ways after six years.
Ricky Martin and his husband, artist Jwan Yosef, are divorcing. The two made a joint announcement on Thursday, July 6, to members of the US media.
“We have decided to end our marriage with love, respect, and dignity for our children and honoring what we have experienced as a couple all these wonderful years,” the two told People.
The two added that their main focus is to continue a “healthy family dynamic and a relationship centered on peace and friendship to continue the joint upbringing of our children, preserving the respect and love we have for each other.”
The ex-couple, who first connected via Instagram in 2015, got married in 2018. They share two children – Lucia and Renn. Ricky has twins, which he raised prior as a single father.
Raising a diverse family
In 2018, Ricky shared the wedding news to E! News saying: “I’m a husband, but we’re doing a heavy party in a couple of months,” he told the outlet. “We exchanged vows, and we swear [sic] everything, and we’ve signed all the papers that we needed to sign, prenups and everything.”
The “Living La Vida Loca” singer also told Ellen DeGeneres in 2013 about raising his then twins in a multi-lingual house.
“We speak Spanish at home, but they also speak English and French,” he said.
Yosef, an accomplished artist, told My Kali that he teaches his kids Arabic. “I taught my kid how to count to 10 in Arabic and she’s only 2, which is wonderful.”
Ricky is set to star in a comedy show to be shown on Apple TV and embark on tour alongside Pitbull and Enrique Iglesias.
