While the kids were still tucked away in their cribs, Ricky Martin was up bright and early today hitting the chilly streets of New York City.
The doting padre of twin bambinos was all smiles when our shutterbugs spotted him out shopping at Babies-R-Us.
Ricky welcomed little Valentino and Matteo last summer with the help of a 26-year-old mother who works for an agency that hooks up surrogates.
The hip-shaking crooner employs the help of family and nannies to raise his brood of babies, but that wasn’t always the case. “I wanted to change them, feed them, burp them, bathe them, all with no help,” Ricky has famously said. “Mom said, ‘Okay, enough is enough, please, can I burp the child? It’s not about you, it’s about the baby.’ So that’s when I realised there was nothing to be ashamed about asking for help.’”

Poor babies , no real MOM.

I like Ricky but I don’t agree w/ the way he chose to be a father, we all need mom and dad, not just one.
^^^^^^ agreed the world is too chaotic because of the hollywood attack on the nuclear family and marriage.
I think that everybody deserves to be a parent if they are capable of doing so. While having just one parent isn’t ideal, there are plenty of people who have grown up with a single mom or single dad raising them and have been fine and well taken care of. One thing about Ricky that I love is his ability to stay out of the public eye and keep his private life private…I mean we haven’t even seen the twins yet! He has always been like this, even back when he was hugely popular.
to the rednecks: DIE ZOMBIE, DIE!
Stuck in a past life is just pathetic.
It’s okay to be one parent only if the mother or the father is a loser who doesn’t want to be responsible, but already taking one parent away is not right.
I predict that for his next project and comeback in the American Market, it will coincide with his coming out of the CLOSET and the SLOBBERING OBAMAMEDIA will approve and HYPE.
“SLOBBERING OBAMAMEDIA will approve and HYPE.” yeah because change has to do with not being republican.
The complacency of the status quo is so sad. The republican party is the worse Ponzy Scheme and some love that.
^^^^ got news for you ^^^^ BHO won’t change a thing both sides are corrupt.
i love ricky.

That is not true. The photos of the kids have been all around Spaninsh language media, like in Hola, People en español plus several European papers. I bet he got a huge amount of money for them. Of course they were not allowed to ask why he didn’t do it in the traditional way, that is, by having sex with a woman, which to Ricky seems to be like ewwwwww….
I do think it’s much better to have a mom and dad (father, mother figures) in a child’s life. But honestly, I have seen several marriages where the parents f*cking hate each other and life is miserable. The kids pick it up, they suffer. Or I have seen parents talking and yelling at their kids like total white trash. It’s disgusting. “Get your *ss over here”. “You better stop before I beat your *ss”. I heard this during Christmas while the ‘parents’ were showing X-mas lights to their kids.
Ricky seems like he genuinely loves his kids and clearly really wanted them. I really have come to believe it’s much better to have a parent who truly loves you and wants you and have a mother/father figure from a good family friend/relative then be raised by the parents I spoke about above.
