After years of waiting, Ricky Martin has finally achieved what he has longed for: recording a video for social media dancing with his son Valentino.
"I've wanted to make a little video like this with my son for several years, and finally, the little one agreed," the singer commented on Instagram while sharing the video of the special moment when they performed their spectacular choreography to the rhythm of "Love Nwantiti."
The initiative came from Valentino himself, who was the first to post the video on his TikTok account with a playful message for his father: “Let’s see what you got old man!” The post sparked a wave of reactions on social media, where Ricky's fans celebrated the charisma and the strong bond between father and son.
In the comments, many followers couldn't help but notice how great they look together, highlighting the strong rhythm and connection they share. "Oh my God, Ricky Martin is still the love of my life," commented one fan; "he has rhythm in his blood," added another. Amid jokes and heartfelt messages, several pointed out how much Ricky allowed his son to shine in the video, with remarks like: "I loved that he let his son shine" and "The student surpassed the teacher."
There were also reactions from public figures. Wisin, the reggaeton artist and friend of the singer, celebrated the video by saying, “The great Tin,” and Zuleyka Rivera commented, “So cute.” The post quickly filled with hundreds of messages and likes, with fans from around the world urging Ricky and Valentino to share more moments together.
This video, highly anticipated by Ricky, is proving to be a true success and has delighted his fans, many of whom are asking that this not be the last time they see the duo dancing on social media. This moment has undoubtedly been one of the most endearing in the singer's career.
Ricky Martin, for his part, is the father of four children: twins Matteo and Valentino, born in 2008 through surrogacy, and the younger ones, Lucía and Renn, born in 2018 and 2019, respectively. Over the years, he has shared heartfelt moments with his children, such as their recent participation in a rally for Kamala Harris in Philadelphia, where Matteo and Valentino joined their father and posed alongside the presidential candidate.
Valentino, one of the twins, has shown a remarkable interest in dancing, following in his father's footsteps. In November 2024, Ricky Martin shared a video on social media where both perform a choreography together, highlighting the talent and bond between father and son. These types of public interactions reflect the close relationship they share.
In July 2023, Ricky Martin and his husband, artist Jwan Yosef, announced their separation after six years of marriage. Despite the dissolution of their relationship, both have emphasized their commitment to co-parenting, aiming to maintain a healthy family dynamic and prioritizing the well-being of Matteo, Valentino, Lucía, and Renn. This collaborative approach to parenting highlights both parents' dedication to their children, ensuring they continue to receive love and support in this new chapter of their lives.
