Ricky Martin lovingly shared rare Instagram photos of his three older children in a new album looking back on his month.
The 53-year-old pop star welcomed his 16-year-old twin sons Matteo and Valentino via a surrogate in 2008, when he was a bachelor.
In early 2018 Ricky announced his marriage to the artist Jwan Yosef, with whom he later welcomed his daughter Lucia, six, and son Renn, five.
Jwan and Ricky announced their split in 2023, so the painter was not included in the Livin’ La Vida Loca hitmaker’s latest album.
However Ricky proudly shared snaps of three of his children, including an especially heartwarming image of him with Lucia.
Lucia could be seen sitting by her father in her classroom at school as he helped her deliver a presentation of some of her artwork.

‘A bit of my month,’ the Puerto Rican crooner wrote in his caption in Spanish, before asking his more than 18 million followers: ‘How’s yours going?’

His album, which was geo-tagged to Beverly Hills but also featured a few photos apparently taken at an undisclosed vacation destination, also had solo shots of Ricky.
One of them was a shirtless mirror selfie in which the pioneering pop star showed off his musclebound physique and his smattering of tattoos.
His agelessly luminous complexion was on flattering display as the Nobody Wants To Be Lonely singer smiled for the camera.
Jwan and Ricky announced their separation in early 2023 after seven years of marriage, and by that August had reportedly amicably settled their divorce.
‘It has been wonderful. I even told Jwan we should write a book about how to get divorced properly,’ Ricky quipped to Telemundo Puerto Rico.
He insisted that his ‘children never saw a fight between Jwan and me,’ adding: ‘Jwan and I will always be family. We have two children that we are going to raise together.’

Last year, Ricky touchingly looked back on the moment when his twins realized that he was not just their father but also a music star.
From the way he told the story, it appeared that the children were aware there was a pop act called Ricky Martin, but had not made the connection that their father was he.
Ricky explained that the twins had ‘always been traveling with me’ on tour and were educated via homeschooling, during an appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show.
‘And when they were like five or six, I allowed them to go in front of the stage, because for me, I thought it was too overstimulating, so they would only see me from backstage,’ he recalled. ‘So they went in front of the stage and when they come back, they go: “Oh. Got it, Daddy. You are Ricky Martin.”’
