For both  Ricky Martin  and  Jwan Yosef , there is nothing more important than their family. On Father‘s Day, they each shared photos of their respective fathers and congratulated them on their day. Ricky published a series of images of his father, Mr. Enrique Martín Negroni, while his partner also did his thing but on Instagram stories.

It was one of the rare occasions in which Jwan shared photos of his father, who is Ricky Martin‘s father-in-law, and a proud grandfather to Matteo, Valentino, Lucía, and little Renn. Although the couple is reserved when it comes to their family, on this occasion, they allowed fans to see a little more, especially Jwan, who tends to be more private since Ricky grew up in the spotlight while forming part of Menudo.

Ricky Martin and his husband Jwan Yosef

Ricky Martin and Jwan Yosef began their love story more than four years ago when one of Jwan‘s art pieces caught the singer’s attention. The Syria-born artist soon became Ricky’s top interest. “I am reviewing, and I see this beautiful piece of art. I wrote to him, and we were talking for about six months without me hearing his voice, ” recalled the singer during a radio interview in February 2017.

Six months after their first contact, the Shark interpreter traveled to London - where Jwan resided - and they met face to face, and since then, they have not separated for a single day.
