Ricky Martin, newly openly gay pop star and father of twin boys he named Matteo and Valentino, will make an appearance on The Oprah Winfrey Show on Tuesday November 2 to be interviewed publicly for the first time about his decision to come out of the closet as well as his life as a single father of two. Here are a couple preview screencaps from Ricky‘s upcoming appearance on Oprah:
He was guarded about his sexuality for years and reserved about his new adventure as a family man – now Ricky Martin is sharing his joy of becoming a father via a surrogate mother on the Oprah Winfrey show. Ricky welcomed cameras to his home for a candid portrait of his happy family home life for his interview with Oprah, in which he talks about his sons and his sexuality for the first time. The 39-year-old Puerto Rican megastar quietly became father of twin boys, called Matteo and Valentino, in August 2008. Previously, the star has only released occasional pictures of himself with the two gorgeous children via his official Twitter account, then ‘came out’ on his website in March this year. The singer said at the time : ‘I am proud to say that I am a fortunate homosexual man. I am very blessed to be who I am.’ But he has never before opened up about becoming father or finally going public with his sexuality … Ricky is on the chatshow conveyor belt to plug his new autobiography. Titled ‘Me’, it details his life, career and journey to officially come out. The book hits shops in the US next week. Meanwhile, the singer’s first new material in six years is due out before the end of the year. ‘The Best Thing About Me Is You’ is a described as an emotional duet featuring Ricky and Joss Stone and is the first track from a new studio album, due out next year.
Aww … look at Ricky‘s boys … they’re so big already. Despite the fact that we know that Oprah will not press Ricky on any tough questions, her show is the perfect platform for him to open up about his life now that he is out of the closet. After the jump, check out the preview video trailer for Ricky‘s upcoming appearance on The Oprah Winfrey Show …
Coming out publicly as gay is no easy thing, I can only imagine what it must feel like for someone so famous to come out on the public stage. My hope, tho, is that the main focus of this interview will be about his life as a new dad. I am really interested to hear how life has been for Ricky since his sons came into his life. This sounds like it’s gonna be a great interview … I can’t wait to see it.
