Ricky Martin and his husband Jwan Yosef are new parents to a baby girl!
On Monday (December 31), the "She Bangs" musician and Syrian-Swedish painter celebrated the birth of their daughter, who arrived just ahead of the New Year. Martin and Yosef took to Instagram to share the first image of their little bundle of joy, along with a heart-warming message in the singer's Spanish language — see the translated message below.
"We are excited to announce that we have become parents of a beautiful and healthy girl whom we have named Lucia Martin-Yosef," Martin captioned an image of the couple holding their newborn's tiny hands. "This has undoubtedly been a unique birthday and celebration of Christmas in our lives. Both her brothers and Jwan and I are completely in love with our baby and grateful to be able to start this 2019 with the best gift we could receive, the gift of life."
Yosef later added in English, "It has been a special time for us and we cant wait to see where this stellar baby will take us. Both her beautiful brothers and me and Ricky have fallen in love with Lucia."
The pair, who tied the knot in January 2018, are also parents to 10-year-old twin boys, Matteo and Valentino, who were born via surrogate. Even then, the now-fathers-of-three have expressed wanting to expand their family.
"I want four more pairs of twins," the Puerto Rican artist told E! News following his marriage to Yosef. "I do want a big family, but there’s a lot going on at the moment. … we’re going to put things in order first and then we’re going to get ready for many more kids.”
Congrats, Ricky and Jwan!
