The relationship between Ricky Martin and Jwan Yosef is over. After six years of marriage, the Swedish painter and the Puerto Rican singer have decided to separate. On Thursday, the couple posted the news on social media.
Daughter Lucia and son Renn’s co-parenting by Martin and Yosef will now continue. After connecting on Instagram, the pair first met in person in 2015 and quickly fell in love. They were married in 2017 after two years.
On June 6th, the pair posted a joint message to Instagram informing followers of their decision to call it quits. Our decision to dissolve our marriage with love, respect, and dignity for our children follows considerable deliberation. “For some time, we had considered changing our relationship.
“…keeping and honouring what we have shared throughout these beautiful years as a relationship. The statement stated, “As we continue the joint rearing of our children, our biggest objective is to maintain a healthy family dynamic and relationship centred on our sincere friendship.
The couple expressed their gratitude for all of their love and support over the years, and they promised to work together to nurture this new phase of their lives apart. Martin disabled the comments on the post and added a white heart emoji to the text.
In 2015, the 51-year-old singer used Instagram to get in touch with the 38-year-old artist. Six months later, the two had their first encounter in London and started dating. By showing up together on the amFAR Inspiration Gala red carpet in 2016, the couple made their romance public.
In the same year, in November, they became engaged. “We recently got married. I suggested. I felt very anxious. I dropped to my knees. I said, “I got you something,” as opposed to asking, “Will you marry me?” I want to be your lifelong companion. In response, he asked, “What is the question?” ‘Would you marry me?’ I said. Martin told on The Ellen DeGeneres Show that “he said yes.
“I’m a collector, and he’s a conceptual artist. So I started looking for art, came across his work, and went absolutely wild because I loved it. I then got in touch with him and collected him, the Livin’ La Vida Loca singer continued.
Martin revealed in an interview from January 2018 that he had married Yosef. “I’m a husband, but in a few months, we’re throwing a big celebration. We exchanged vows, made all the necessary prenuptial agreements and swearings, and signed all the paperwork required, he said at the time.
In the same year, the couple had their daughter Lucia, and then in 2019, their son Renn. Two sons, Matteo and Valentino, who were born to Martin through surrogacy in 2008, are also his children.
