Incredibly, Ricky Martin is father of twin boys
In what is easily the most shocking news of the day, Ricky Martin's people have announced he's the father of twin boys! Who knew? He apparently fathered the tykes through a charitable mother, who gave birth a few weeks ago, the AP reports.
"The children, delivered via gestational surrogacy, are healthy and already under Ricky's full-time care," reps said in a statement. "Ricky is elated to begin this new chapter in his life as a parent and will be spending the remainder of the year out of the public spotlight in order to spend time with his children."
Besides being totally shocked at the news that Martin is a dad, we're also flabbergasted to learn that he's 36 years old. When did all this go down? You turn your back for nine years and look what happens.

"through a Charitable mother"?? This is insane. Is he the BIOLOGICAL father of these twins? Good gravy!
