An attorney for Ricky Martin has denied domestic violence allegations leveled by his 21-year-old nephew.
In a statement provided to Variety on Friday, Martin’s lawyer, Marty Singer, insisted that the performer has “never been — and would never be — involved in any kind of sexual or romantic relationship with his nephew.”
Singer’s statement comes less than a month after the “Livin’ la Vida Loca” hitmaker refuted “completely false allegations” related to a restraining order filed against him in Puerto Rico. Spanish news outlet Marca later reported that the Grammy winner’s brother, Eric Martin, identified the petitioner as Martin’s nephew.
