Ricky Martin Pimps Out Twins to People Mag

FormerPopstar Ricky Martin shows off his 4-month-old twin boys, born via surrogate, in this week's issue of People magazine.

Martin, who is raising the children as a single father, spoke of his happiness, changing diapers and why he chose surrogacy instead of adoption.

You know, surrogacy is big within the Rainbow Coalition. Shout out to Clay Aiken.

How hands-on are you as a father?
I don't have a nanny. I'm doing this on my own because I don't want to miss a moment. I have a personal assistant who helps me, someone who takes care of me while I'm taking care of them, but I'm the one who changes the diapers, the one that feeds them, the one that bathes them, the one that puts them to sleep. For any parent, the first couple of months tend to get a little bit intense.

Why did you choose to become a parent via surrogate?
Adoption was one option, but it's complicated and can take a long time. Surrogacy was an intriguing and faster option. I thought, 'I'm going to jump into this with no fear.'

Tell us about Valetino's and Matteo's personalities.
Valentino loves to sleep. I call him 'Mr. Peace and Love' because he's so chill and serene. Matteo is more alert and active. He was up at 3 a.m. the other night and just hanging!

What is your philosophy on raising your sons?
I love to read books to my sons and tell them stories. I play music for them so they develop their own personalities. I want to give them information and raise them with honesty and love, and give them self-esteem and a lot of acceptance.

We wish him and the boys much health and happiness.

Oh, we set ourselves up for that one - you know the boys we're talking about; they're not in diapers.

How You Doin', Ricky.
