Ricky Martin Father of Twin Boys

Allie @ Gone Hollywood | Thursday, August 21, 2008

Ricky Martin is now the father of twin boys. The Latin superstar had the children via a surrogate mother, and the babies were born a few weeks ago, according to a statement from his representatives.

“The children, delivered via gestational surrogacy, are healthy and already under Ricky’s full-time care,” said the statement. “Ricky is elated to begin this new chapter in his life as a parent and will be spending the remainder of the year out of the public spotlight in order to spend time with his children.”

A representative said there was no further information on the details of the children’s birth.

The last time I remember Ricky Martin being in the “spotlight”, was when William Hung sang “She Bangs” on American Idol.
