Ricky Martin is now a married man. The singer secretly tied the knot with his partner of two years Jwan Yosef, 33, and broke the news yesterday.
'I'm a husband, but we're doing a heavy party in a couple of months, I'll let you know,' he gushed to E! News.
'We exchanged vows, and we've swear [sic] everything, and we've signed all the papers that we needed to sign, prenups and everything.'
Ricky and his new husband are parents to 9-year-old twin boys named Matteo and Valentino.
At Sunday night's Golden Globes ceremony in LA, Ricky revealed to the same publication that he'd love to have more children.
'I want four more pairs of twins. I do want a big family, but there's a lot going on at the moment,' he said.

Ricky went on to explain what he tells his boys when they ask about having two fathers.
'I want people to look at me and see a family and say, 'There's nothing wrong with that.' It's part of my mission. It's part of my kids' mission as well,' he said during an interview with Out magazine.
'My kids ask me about having two daddies and I tell them we are a part of a modern family. This is a beautiful sense of freedom.'
Puerto Rican crooner Ricky was propelled to fame when his debut single Livin' La Vida Loca topped the charts in 1999.
He went on to have a number of other hits including ballad Nobody Wants To Be Lonely with Christina Aguilera.
