Full Name: Enrique Martín Morales (professionally known as Ricky Martin); Profession: Singer, songwriter, actor, author, humanitarian; Nationality: Puerto Rican (American citizen by birth in Puerto Rico); Born: December 24, 1971; Birthplace: San Juan, Puerto Rico; Generation: Generation X; Chinese Zodiac: Metal Pig; Zodiac Sign: Capricorn; Age in 2025: 54; Marital Status: Divorced (formerly married to Jwan Yosef; has been in public same-sex relationships); Children: Four children (including twin sons via gestational surrogacy and additional children welcomed later); Description: Ricky Martin is a global Latin pop icon whose career spans boy bands, telenovelas, stadium tours, and Broadway stages, making him one of the most recognizable artists from the Spanish-speaking world. He rose to fame as a member of the teen group Menudo in the 1980s before launching a solo career that first took hold in Latin America and then exploded internationally with hits such as “Livin’ la Vida Loca” and “She’s All I Ever Had,” helping spearhead the late-1990s Latin pop crossover wave into mainstream Anglo markets. Martin’s charismatic stage presence, dance-driven performances, and polished music videos positioned him as a standard-bearer for Latin pop stardom, while his Spanish-language ballads and albums kept him firmly rooted in the Latin music tradition. Beyond music, he has acted in television and on Broadway, notably in the revival of “Evita,” and he voiced and portrayed characters in various film and TV projects. Martin publicly came out as gay in 2010, becoming an important figure for LGBTQ+ visibility in Latin America and globally, and he has used his platform to advocate for equality and anti-trafficking efforts through the Ricky Martin Foundation. With a career that bridges cultures, languages, and media, he remains a symbol of Latin global influence, artistic reinvention, and personal authenticity.
