Ricky Martin spent 6 months chatting online to husband Jwan Yosef before meeting him in person. The 46-year-old opened up Attitude about how he first encountered the Syrian-born Swedish artist on Instagram.
'I contacted him and we talked for six months. We were just sending messages, talking about life and existential issues,' he said.
'Nothing sexy, nothing sexual. It’s not that he was sending me sexy pictures and vice versa, I swear…
The singer claimed the first thing he said to himself upon finally physically meeting the 33-year-old was: 'I am marrying this guy.'
'And apparently he said exactly the same thing,' he added. 'Obviously he only told me this later on, you have to keep it to yourself at first!
'But I lost my breath when I saw him. Six months’ build-up and it was very romantic.'
The couple share twin boys, nine-year-old Matteo and Valentino, whom Ricky fathered via surrogate.
