Ricky Martin reveals his father’s advice about coming out
It was in 2010, at the age of 28, that Ricky Martin finally began publicly discussing his sexuality and identifying as a gay man.
Ricky has previously talked about how conflicted he was about trying to conceal his sexuality from his fans, but he’s recently revealed that it was a conversation with his father that finally pushed him to come out of the closet.
According to Ricky’s recent interviews, it was soon after the birth of Ricky’s sons, Matteo and Valentino, that Ricky’s father – a psychologist – sat down for a heart-to-heart with Ricky about parents’ roles with their children. Ricky’s father pointed out that if Ricky stayed in the closet, he would be forcing his sons to be complicit in maintaining the public persona that Ricky was trying to present to the world.
“Rick, you need to come out…” Ricky’s father reportedly told him. “What are you going to teach your kids, to lie?”
Despite the misgivings of his management team at the time, Ricky followed his father’s advice. It seems to have been a good move for everyone.
