The star, Ricky Martin, separated from his Syrian husband, Joan Youssef, after a “homosexual” marriage between them that lasted for 6 years, according to Reuters.
Ricky Martin, 51, and Joanne, 38, announced their separation, as Martin’s friend said, “The couple lost love and passion after years of enjoying an open marriage,” stressing that marital infidelity was not the reason for the separation.
Ricky Martin’s friend told the Daily Mail in his reported remarks: “Like many couples, Ricky and Joanne had an open relationship throughout their marriage, but neither fell in love with someone else. Sex was something they both engaged in and separated from other partners. “.
He indicated that they had ended their relationship amicably, and hoped to share custody of their four children, 14-year-old twins Matteo and Valentino, 4-year-old Lucia, and 3-year-old Rin, after they had a “surrogate mother.”
Ricky Martin last year faced charges of incest by his 21-year-old nephew and could serve up to 50 years in prison if the charges are proven.
Ricky Martin was previously subjected to a restraining order over a domestic violence incident in Puerto Rico earlier this month, but the identity of the victim has been withheld.
And the Spanish newspaper “Marca” reported that his brother Ricky Martin had identified the alleged victim as the nephew of singer Denis Yadel Sanchez.
Ricky Martin has been accused of physical and psychological abuse against Sanchez during their seven-month relationship.
Martin’s legal representative earlier described the allegations of abuse as ‘completely false and fabricated’ and denied the news to the Daily Mail, describing it as disgusting.
“Of course, Ricky Martin has not and will never be involved in any kind of sexual or romantic relationship with his nephew,” attorney Martin Singer said.
He continued: “The notion is not only untrue but disgusting and we all hope this man gets the help he urgently needs, but most of all, we look forward to dismissing this horrific case once the facts are considered by the judge.”
Martin has been married to Syrian-born Swedish painter Gwan Yusuf since 2017.
The couple have four children together, 13-year-old twins Valentino and Matteo, as well as Lucia, three, and Rin, three.
Ricky Martin also broke up earlier with his ex-lover, yoga instructor Carlos Gonzalez Abella.
