AceShowbiz - Congratulations are in order for Ricky Martin and his fiance Jwan Yosef. The Grammy-winning artist announced on Wednesday, January 10 that they had secretly tied the knot, but they're still gearing up for the big celebration.
"I'm a husband, but we're doing a heavy party in a couple of months, I'll let you know," Martin told E! News. He also disclosed that the event would be celebrated in three parts, which are the rehearsal, the dinner and the party.
"We exchanged vows, and we've swear [sic] everything, and we've signed all the papers that we needed to sign, prenups and everything," he continued, before expressing how he excited he was now that he has gotten married. "It feels amazing! I can't introduce him as my fiance. I can't. He's my husband. He's my man," he said.
Martin and the Swedish painter, who met through Instagram, started dating in 2016 and got engaged later in November that same year. The "Nobody Wants to Be Lonely" singer announced their engagement on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show", revealing that he was the one who popped the question.
"We just got engaged," Martin told host Ellen DeGeneres. "I proposed. I was really nervous. But I got on my knees and I took out -- not a box -- I just had them in a little velvet pouch." He then added that he had a slightly different way of proposing. "I said, 'I want to spend my life with you.' And he was like, 'What is the question?' [I said] 'Would you marry me?' " he shared.
Martin is raising his 9-year-old twin sons, Matteo and Valentino, with Yosef. And they hope to expand their family in the future. "I want four more pairs of twins, I would love to have a big family, but there's a lot going on at this moment," Martin shared at the Golden Globes red carpet. "It's a lot going on so we're going to put things in order first and then we are going to get ready for many more kids."
