Ricky Martin Explains Why He’s Raising His Children On The Road

Ricky Martin may be raising his 6-year-old twin sons Matteo and Valentino as “road babies,” but the single father says that doesn’t mean their life is unstable.

Martin, 43, is preparing the debut of his first studio album since 2011, “A Quien Quiera Escuchar,” on Feb. 10. The singer spoke with Billboard ahead of its release to talk about his life as a single dad on the road, why he hasn’t recorded another English-language album and more.

“‘The Cup of Life’ was No. 1 in over 70 countries and it was in Spanish,” Martin said of why he continues to record in Spanish. “And I took ‘Maria’ to France, Sweden, everywhere. Look at what has happened with songs like [Don Omar’s] ‘Danza Kuduro’ and [Enrique Iglesias’] ‘Bailando.’ They’re everywhere and they’re in Spanish. Language no longer intimidates.”
