Ricky Martin Says He Wants to Have a Daughter

Singer Ricky Martin, who is already the father of twin boys, told an Argentine newspaper that he would like to have a daughter.

"As I have the two little boys, now I want a daddy's girl," the openly gay superstar said in an interview with Buenos Aires daily Clarin.

Martin's twins, Matteo and Valentino, were born in 2008 to a surrogate mother.

The Puerto Rican singer came to Buenos Aires to promote his latest album, "Musica+Alma+Sexo," but Argentina buzzed with rumors that a wedding would be part of his visit to the first Latin American country to allow same-sex marriage.

Those expectations were dashed when Martin arrived in Buenos Aires without his partner, Carlos Gonzalez.

In an interview Tuesday night with the diva of Argentine television, Susana Gimenez, the artist said marriage is not part of his plans at the moment.

Martin, who was received by President Cristina Fernandez at the Casa Rosada, Argentina's White House, also filmed part of a music video on the streets of Buenos Aires and autographed CDs for fans.

The singer will return to Argentina in September as part of his "Musica+Alma+Sexo" tour.

Ricky Martin May Seek Spanish Citizenship to Marry his Longtime BF

The Spanish-language tabloids are claiming that Ricky Martin may be seeking Spanish citizenship in order to make his relationship with longtime boyfriend Carlos Gonzalez official.

His good friend, Spanish model Esther Cañadas, has reportedly even offered up her house so that Ricky can have a place to stay while he applies for citizenship. The whispers began just weeks after the Puerto Rican pop star openly confirmed his relationship with Gonzalez by thanking him at the GLAAD awards. He may even be planning a move to the motherland since same-sex marriage is legal there.

Martin has yet to confirm the wedding bells, telling the media coyly, "It would be lovely, but there are no plans at the moment to marry." Gonzalez was front and center as Ricky kicked off his world tour in San Juan, so marriage or not—they are definitely going strong!
