Ricky Martin, boyfriend take quickie Sardinia getaway


Pop star Ricky Martin has made it a point to keep his personal life, well, private. That includes any mention of his two children, and his involvement with long-time partner, Carlos Gonzalez. The pair was seen vacationing this weekend for a very quick jaunt in the Mediterranean.

According to the Daily Mail, the multi-million album selling pop star and his financier boyfriend were spotted in the island of Sardinia this weekend. The pair took a much needed respite on the heels of Ricky's demanding touring schedule. The pop singer himself Tweeted that the mini-vacation in Porto Cervo, Sardinia was just a quickie.

"Only 18 hrs in Sardinia. I had to jump in the ocean!" the 39-year-old Tweeted on August 19.

The Daily Mail reported the pair stayed at the luxurious Hotel Cala di Volpe. He has spoken highly and honorably of both his relationship and his partner, saying, "It [the relationship] is very beautiful. Super cool. I'm very happy."

After years of rumors among fans and the gay community, Martin revealed his sexual orientation as a very "proud homosexual man" in March 2010. Since then, he is rarely seen with his partner, a decision Martin has chosen to separate his personal and professional lives. He also seldom speaks about his twin boys, whom he fathered from a surrogate.

Martin's twin boys were not seen during the quick holiday, at which the pair looked very relaxed and very much in love as they embraced for photographers.


The proud father of three-year-old twins, Matteo and Valentino, revealed his financier boyfriend's identity during an emotional speech at the GLAAD Media Awards in New York earlier this year. He received the Vito Russo Award at the event, which honored him as a role model.

Martin now adds best-selling author to his list of accomplishments, releasing his autobiography, 'Me,' which was published on November 2, 2010.

Martin's career is steaming ahead, following the January release of his first studio album in six years, 'Musica+Alma+Sexo,' his ninth album as a solo artist. The album, for which he's on tour, became the highest-charting primarily Spanish-language album since Selena's number one album 'Dreaming of You.' It also represents his highest-charting album since 'Ricky Martin' debuted at No. 1 in May 1999.

What do you think of the happy couple?
