Ricky Martin and Jwan Yosef are getting a divorce. They met in 2015 and married in 2018, although it feels like they’ve been together for a lot longer than that. They have two children together, and Ricky also has sons Matteo and Valentino – he was a single dad when he met Jwan. Jwan and Ricky were a hot couple, but they’re both single now and back on the market.
After six years of marriage, Ricky Martin and Jwan Yosef are divorcing.
“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 Puerto Rican superstar and the Syrian-Swedish artist tell PEOPLE in a joint statement.
“Our greatest desire now is to continue having 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,” continue the ex-couple, who share two kids: daughter Lucia, born in 2018, and son Renn, born in 2019. (Martin previously welcomed twin sons Matteo and Valentino, born in 2008, whom he’ll continue to raise as a single parent.)
I’ll be curious to see if we ever find out if there was something which triggered the divorce, an affair or a fight or something else. Ricky keeps his personal and professional business on lockdown for the most part, and he has a huge team helping him with every aspect of his life. Which is probably draining on a marriage, but it will probably mean that Ricky has the money and power to dictate terms about what comes out next. It was just last year when Ricky leveraged that machinery to shut down his nephew, who made some heinous claims about Ricky. I also kind of wonder if that whole “nephew story” played a role in the end of Ricky’s marriage.
