Ricky Martin revealed in a recent interview that his decision to come out as gay in March 2010 was influenced by his father, Enrique. Despite facing resistance from his professional team, who warned him that it could jeopardize his career, Ricky's father encouraged him to embrace his truth and be open about his sexuality.
Reflecting on the period before coming out, Ricky shared that his team advised him to keep his sexuality private, questioning the need to make a public announcement. However, his father emphasized the importance of honesty, especially after Ricky became a father to twin sons in 2008.
