Personal life


Martin admitted that he was in love with Mexican TV host Rebecca de Alba and he also admitted that he has relation of fourteen years with him. They also talked of starting a family, and at one point Martin planned on proposing.  However with the release of Life, Martin confirmed he and De Alba had parted ways.
 August 2008 was the day when Martin became the father of twin boys, Matteo and Valentino. The babies were birthed by a surrogate mother.
After the success of Livin' la Vida Loca, Martin's life became a subject and people took intrest in his personal life and people want to know about his sexual orientation due to his large gay following. In December 2000,he was asked in an interview about the rumors of his gay personality. He replied in straight forwardness that "I don't think I should have to tell anyone if I am gay or not, or who I've slept with or not." Along with this, Martin reportedly stated in an interview with Plus 7 Days magazine, "If I were gay, why not admit it? I am a normal man. I love women and sex. I am a real hot-blooded Puerto Rican, but I have never been attracted by sex with a man."
On March 29, 2010, Martin publicly acknowledged his homosexuality in a post on his official web site by stating, "I am proud to say that I am a fortunate homosexual man. I am very blessed to be who I am." Martin said that "these years in silence and reflection made me stronger and reminded me that acceptance has to come from within, and that this kind of truth gives me the power to conquer emotions I didn't even know existed." In 2010, prior to Martin coming out, Barbara Walters expressed some regret for pushing Martin in a 2000 interview to admit if he was gay. The Toronto Star quoted her as saying, "When I think back on it now, I feel it was an inappropriate question."
Martin announced on The Oprah Winfrey Show that he is in a relationship though he has chosen to shield his boyfriend from the spotlight, believing that he might find the attention "overwhelming.
