Ricky Martin doesn’t care how ‘She Bangs,’ says he’s gay

Singer Ricky Martin is not interested in how ‘She Bangs.’

The singer used Twitter today, March 29, to finally admit what most people have long suspected - he is a happy gay man.

In a message the Associated Press says was confirmed by Martin’s reps and written in both Spanish and English, Martin said: “I am proud to say that I am a fortunate homosexual man. I am very blessed to be who I am.”

The message no longer appears to be on Martin’s officia lhome page, but everyone from TMZ to Rolling Stone is reporting on the how the Puerto Rican is now open about how he is “Livin’ La Vida Loca.”

Martin, who got his start in the teen singing group Menudo, has long denied rumors that he is gay.

According to TMZ, he says the birth of his children lead him to come clean.

“To keep living as I did up until today would be to indirectly diminish the glow that my kids where [sic] born with.”
