On the topic of his sexuality, Ricky has always been a little shy. When News Anchor Barbara Walters pinned him with that question on a live news feed, Martin replied by asking a question, a simple trick to avoid giving a direct answer.
In the process of compiling his memoirs, a very deep and personal experience, Martin acknowledged to inner need to be honest with himself and the world at large. On his blog, Ricky wrote “he felt blessed to be who he was.”
Ricky Martin joins the ranks of gay men, who are becoming fathers by the method of surrogate mothers, he states that becoming a father freed him “things that were too heavy to keep inside.”
