Ricky Martin and husband Jwan Yosef are getting a divorce, six years after tying the knot.
The “Livin’ La Vida Loca” singer, 51, and husband Jwan Yosef are closing the book on their love story, People reports.
“We have decided to end our marriage with love, respect and dignity for our children and honoring what we have experienced as a couple all these wonderful years,” Martin and the 38-year-old painter, with whom he shares two children, said in a joint statement to People.
Martin — who on his own is father to twin boys Matteo and Valentino — and Yosef said they will co-parent daughter Lucia, 4, and son Renn, 3, to maintain “a healthy family dynamic.”
The former couple, whose beginnings can be traced back to Instagram in 2015, tied the knot in early 2018.
News of the split comes nearly a year after Martin’s nephew, Dennis Yadiel Sanchez, accused the superstar of both incest and domestic abuse. Sanchez, then 21, claimed that he and Martin had been together for seven months and the latter would not accept the split. It didn’t take long for Sanchez to drop the claims, and a judge refused to administer a restraining order against Martin, who slammed the allegations as “completely false” and “devastating.”
Martin in September filed a $20 million suit against Sanchez, and within days, the former was accused of sexual assault in his native Puerto Rico. Though the accuser was not named at the time, multiple outlets said it was Sanchez.
