KEY POINTS

  • Ricky Martin is still open to having more kids despite having four children already
  • Martin praised his twin sons Valentino and Matteo for being cool kids  
  • The singer is very proud of his beautiful family and he feels lucky to have them

Ricky Martin still wants to add more kids to his brood because he loves a big family.

Martin shares four kids with his husband, Jwan Yosef. However, he is not yet done having children and still wants to expand their family.

"Some people think I'm crazy but I love a big family and I have a couple of embryos waiting for me," he told Entertainment Tonight ahead of the Latin GRAMMY Awards. "I don't know. That's all I got to say."

He also jokingly said that his husband "is going crazy at the moment" and informed ET's Kevin Frazier to not inform his spouse about his plans.

Martin's eldest, 12-year-old twin sons, Valentino and Matteo, will soon be teenagers. He and Yosef are also parents to 2-year-old daughter Lucia and 1-year-old son Renn, whom they welcomed on Oct. 29, 2019. Martin announced Renn's arrival on Instagram.

"Pre-adolescence is here and it's getting funky. And on top of that, we're dealing with a lockdown and it's, 'Grrr…get out of the way! This is my room, not yours, blah blah.' You know, it's all part of it," Martin said of his twins.

"But these two are really cool kids. They're doing really good in school considering what we're dealing with and they have a beautiful little sister and a little brother and they own that role of the protective older brothers."

Martin described his family as "beautiful" and he is very proud of them. He even considers himself "lucky to have the family that I have."

The "Livin' La Vida Loca" singer also shared who runs the house and surprisingly, it's neither of the boys. All of them are under the 2-year-old Lucia's command, with Martin saying it's her house.

"It's not their house either, it's the girl's house. It's Lucia's house," he said.

"She runs the house. She doesn’t snap fingers yet but in the eyes you can tell she's like 'No.' She's only 2, by the way."

Martin and Yosef's children were born via gestational surrogacy. However, Martin refused to think that he was renting a womb when it comes to the kids' surrogate mother.

"I [did] not rent a womb,” he told Vanity Fair in 2012. "This expression is used by fundamentalist conservatives. I would give my life to the woman who helped me bring my children into the world."

Meanwhile, Martin received four nominations at this year's Latin GRAMMY Awards, including Album of Year for "Pausa." Martin admitted that it's one of his favorite albums and it is special because he never got four nominations for one before it.
