The singer’s bold Instagram post sparks wild reactions and shows off his fit body.
Ricky Martin, the 53-year-old Puerto Rican singer, shocked his fans this week with a steamy selfie on Instagram. The photo shows his toned body from the hips up, leaving little to the imagination. Shared on his Instagram Stories on September 30, it quickly went viral among his over 59 million followers.
In the mirror selfie, Ricky smiles at his phone in what looks like a big bathroom. His abs and tattoos stand out, and he added the song “Push” by Connor Price and Nic D as background music. Fans loved it right away.
One fan, @DarnellForever on X, said: “Wow, he’s still sooo sexy! I’ve loved him since I was 5. Ricky Martin was part of my gay awakening.” Another, @KyngSolomanX, called him “the Hispanic Tyson Beckford, hot at any age.” Some joked he should start an OnlyFans account. @SaintAleandro wrote: “He wants to do a full-body reveal like Bad Bunny, but his Gen X energy won’t let him.”
The post got thousands of likes and comments in hours. People compared him to stars like Jennifer Lopez for staying in such great shape.
How He Stays Fit
Ricky keeps his athletic build with a strict vegetarian diet and yoga. He learned a breath-focused yoga style at an ashram in India. In a chat with Dr. Oz, he said it helps him deal with tough work, like his time at an orphanage and his foundation against human trafficking. “What you hear from these young victims is devastating; meditation has been key to get through those moments,” he shared.
At 1.83 meters tall, Ricky’s body shows years of hard work.
Family Life After Divorce
Ricky came out as gay in 2010 and built a family in the spotlight. He split from his husband, artist Jwan Yosef, in 2023 after six years. They share custody of their 6-year-old twins, Lucia and Renn. Ricky also raises his 17-year-old twins, Matteo and Valentino, on his own. He says being a dad is his top job, even with personal challenges.
Legal Win and Fresh Start
In April 2024, Ricky ended a tough court fight with his nephew, Dennis Yadiel Sรกnchez Martin. He had sued for $20 million over blackmail and harassment after false abuse claims. The court dropped both cases, letting him focus on his career without the drama.
What’s Next for Ricky
Ricky isn’t slowing down. In November, he starts his “Ricky Martin Live!” tour in Australia, with shows in Melbourne on the 1st and 2nd at Rod Laver Arena.
He also returns to Apple TV+’s Palm Royale for season two, out November 12. He plays Robert Dรญaz, caregiver to Carol Burnett’s character. His role ended on a cliffhanger with a gunshot in season one, so fans are excited.
