Ricky Martin has come out via a statement on the singer’s official website that begins “A few months ago I decided to write my memoirs, a project I knew was going to bring me closer to an amazing turning point in my life. From the moment I wrote the first phrase I was sure the book was the tool that going to help me free myself from things I was carrying within me for a long time. Things that were too heavy for me to keep inside. Writing this account of my life, I got very close to my truth. And this is something worth celebrating,” and ends with the words “I am proud to say that I am a fortunate homosexual man. I am very blessed to be who I am.” The post is written in Spanish, and translated in English.
Martin, 38 years old, the father of two beautiful twin boys – Matteo and Valentino - has long been the subject of speculation regarding his sexual orientation, including as an adolescent with the boy band Menudo, but chose, till today, to deny or ignore the suggestions. I like Martin a great deal; he is passionate, in particular about his seemingly ceaseless charity work, and he carries himself in an impressive manner, with generosity and grace. I could not be happier for him and hope that in truth he finds love and an even greater professional success.
