Puerto Rican pop star Ricky Martin is planning a celebration of his union with the painter Jwan Yosef, although he has not yet revealed the exact date, but it is is going to be BIG!
The 48-year-old singer has revealed he is intent on hosting a major extravaganza with his youngest kids Renn and Lucía present, as it was only twins Matteo and Valentino, 11, who witnessed Ricky and Jwan say their vows two years ago.
He revealed on the Mexican show Ventaneando: “Either way I would like to have a big party … I want the wedding to last four days.
“The twins were there, but I believe that Renn and Lucía need to be part of this celebration as well.”
Ricky – who began dating his spouse in 2016, with the pair getting engaged in November that year – admitted he knew from the moment he met Jwan that he wanted to marry him.
He said: “When I met my husband, I saw him and said, ‘I’m going to get married.’ During the ‘Hello, pleasure to meet you,’ I thought, ‘This is the love of my life.'”

However, in the final episode, only one of these incredibly talented contestants was able to take home the first-place prize. The final three headed to Florence and were tasked with creating a progressive four-course meal with the help of some past contestants (Brian Malarkey, Kevin Gillespie, and Lee Anne Wong).
At the end of the day, Melissa was named the winner of the $250,000 grand prize by host Padma Lakshmi and chef Tom Colicchio thanks to her Asian-Italian fusion menu that included a milk tea Tiramisu that brought one of the celebrity chefs to tears. Literally.
“It’s such a wild adventure, I could not be more proud of myself,” Melissa said. “What’s really special about this win is that I was doing it for myself… This time I wanted to prove to myself that if I set a goal I can achieve it.”
Melissa was also named the season’s fan favorite. (AV Club)
