Congrats to Ricky Martin: the singer recently became a first time father. Ricky’s twin boys, who’s names have not yet been released, were born via a surrogate.

“In recent weeks, Ricky Martin became a proud father by the birth of twin sons,” his rep tells People.

“The children, delivered via gestational surrogacy, are healthy and already under Ricky’s full-time care,” the rep said in a 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.”

Hasn’t Ricky spent the last ten years out of the public spotlight?

    His Unplugged performance like 2 years ago was a big Latin hit (I used to be addicted to MTVTres) so he actually was relevant recently.

    This is SO left field! And how noble to have 2, wow. I like him.

    So wait, did he and his partner have the twins or is this a “I’m going to be a single dad” thing?
