Valentino, one of Ricky Martin’s twin sons, has already become quite the social media star. While his brother Matteo has chosen to stay more private, “Tino” regularly shares some of his passions with followers, from anime to dance and acrobatics. Recently, amid the excitement surrounding the release of the new Michael Jackson film, the teenager showed off his undeniable rhythm by recreating one of the King of Pop’s most famous choreographies.
On May 21, Tino surprised his more than 100,000 Instagram followers with a very special dance video. “Just Beat It, bro,” he wrote alongside the clip, revealing the perfect pick from the late singer’s catalog. It appears the teenager turned one of the spaces in his home into a makeshift dance floor to recreate Jackson’s moves from the iconic 1982 music video.

He did not reveal how long he practiced before achieving such perfect synchronization, which he also highlighted in his Instagram Stories by sharing a collage alongside a clip from Jackson’s original video.
Tino’s followers quickly filled the comments section with praise for his rhythm and dancing skills, while others pointed out that he clearly inherited that talent from his famous father. “You dance as well as your dad,” one follower commented. “You’re growing into such an incredible dancer. Keep working at it because you’re becoming so good. God has blessed you,” another wrote.
It seems Tino caught the renewed King of Pop fever sparked by the recent release of the film Michael, which premiered last month. Jaafar Jackson, the singer’s nephew, stepped into the role of his famous uncle in the highly anticipated musical biopic.

After his concert in Mexico earlier this month, the Puerto Rican singer is set to perform in several European cities in June. Ricky has previously shared that his oldest sons, who will turn 18 in August, often travel with him on tour.
“It’s wonderful. They don’t want to leave, they’re with me all the time. I go on tour and they come with me because we have tutors who travel with us as well. After the pandemic, Zoom made everything so much easier,” he said in a March 2024 interview with Despierta América (Univision). “I love that we’re so close and that they ask every question they need to ask, and that the answers are transparent and truthful,” he added.
