There won’t be much “livin’ la vida loca” for Ricky Martin these days — he’s now the father of twin boys.
The Latin superstar had the children via a surrogate mother, and the babies were born a few weeks ago, according to a statement from his representatives.
“The children, delivered via gestational surrogacy, are healthy and already under Ricky’s full-time care,” said the 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.”
China denies Gary Glitter
British glam rocker Gary Glitter, who served nearly three years in a Vietnamese prison for molesting children, was denied entry to Hong Kong after refusing to return to England, officials said Wednesday.
Glitter flew to Hong Kong on Wednesday night after staying in the transit area of Bangkok’s international airport for several hours.
“The Chinese authorities have informed us that they have refused Paul Gadd entry into Hong Kong,” a spokeswoman for Britain’s Foreign Office said. Glitter’s real name is Paul Francis Gadd.
“It’s a matter for the Chinese authorities what happens next,” she said.
