Ricky Martin takes his kids wherever he goes, so when he appeared on "The Kelly Clarkson Show," he recalled when his twin sons realized he was more than a dad. The legendary singer told Kelly Clarkson that twins Mateo and Valentino used to stay backstage during his concerts to avoid overstimulation. However, one time, he allowed them to be front row and enjoy the show. To his surprise, they knew about Ricky Martin but had no idea it was their dad.
"I have four kids, and I have twin boys, [they are] fifteen years old, and they've always been traveling with me. They homeschool, and when they were like five or six, I allowed them to go in front of the stage because, for me, I thought it was too overstimulating. So they would always see me from backstage. So they went in front of the stage. And when they came back, they go, 'Ah, got it, daddy. You are Ricky Martin!' said the Puerto Rican, who is also the father of Lucía and Renn.
Ricky Martin's Life as a Father
During an interview, Ricky spoke about the relationship he has built with his teenage sons. "It's wonderful. They don't want to leave; they are with me at all times," he told Despierta América.
In that interview, the interpreter revealed how he has always stayed close to his children. "I go on tour and they come with me because we have tutors who also travel with us. After the pandemic, Zoom makes things much easier," he said.
