Ricky Martin’s relationship with Jwan Yosef started after the singer slid into his DMs. For Martin, it was love at first Insta-glance. “I saw his art, and I’m like, ‘Who’s the artist?’ and it said ‘Jwan Yosef,’ and I’m like, ‘That’s such a cool name, but I wanna see his face.’ And then when I saw his face, I said, ‘Okay, this is over.’ What a beautiful man,” Martin admitted on an episode of “Behind the Music.”
The couple messaged for around six months before meeting in London in 2016. “I saw him, I said, ‘Whoa. Wait a minute, I think this is the man of my life, and I think I am going to marry him,'” Martin shared. True to his word, he put a ring on it just months later, and the rest, as they say, is history. Yosef didn’t grow up in the media glare like Martin and he maintains a lower, more private public profile.
However, according to The U.K. Sun, the Syrian-born artist grew up in Sweden before moving to the U.K. to further hone his skills. Yosef trained at London’s acclaimed Central Saint Martins and then lived in the capital until meeting his future husband. Martin and Yosef share four children. Before they married, Martin was already the father of twin boys conceived via surrogate. After they said “I do,” the handsome hubbies welcomed another boy and a girl to the family.
