Another star uses surrogate mum for children!
I personally find it repulsive!
Popstar Ricky Martin becomes father of twin boys
Latin pop singer Ricky Martin has become a father, after enlisting the help of a surrogate mother who has given birth to twin boys.
The babies were born several weeks ago, according to a statement from Martin's representatives.
"The children, delivered via gestational surrogacy, are healthy and already under Ricky's full-time care," said the statement.
Martin will take time out from his schedule to look after the infants, it said.
"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."
A representative said there was no further information on the details of the children's birth.
Martin, 36, is a multiplatinum singer who is best known for English-language hits like "She Bangs!", "Shake Your Bon Bon" and "Livin' la Vida Loca."
In recent years, the Puerto Rican star has been active in charitable efforts, including the prevention of sexual exploitation of children.
Earlier this year, the singer travelled to Cambodia to bring light to the issue of human trafficking.
Martin rose to fame as an actor on American network ABC's General Hospital, but later turned his talents to singing.
...mother, but may struggle with the disciplne of a father! lol :-P
His problem would be that two men can't reproduce.

I agree with Brit..
How can he provide that kids the love, care & afection of a mom..
he will be fed up with them in a matter of days.
Gypsy..
Its an option for people who cant have children naturally... whats the poblem with Ricky. suffering from ED?
I don't see a problem with it Brit. It's definitely and option for a lot of people who can't have children naturally.

Gay he is one hot gay for sure.....lol
See anything wrong in that as long as he loves them and provides for them.
Anyone can be a father but it takes a man to be a DAD.
doesnt matter as long as he commits raising the twins. and not leave them to some nanny. he must be a father figure (even if he might be gay), giving them love and care...
I think I've discovered the secret of life - you just hang around until you get used to it. ~Charles Schulz
It has nothing to do with being gay or straight..
Perhaps I'm old fashioned or narrow minded, but i feel that this type of action is like wanting a toy, which one may get fed up very quickly.
I also think that its a fad amongst the celebrities.
let's look at this way:
1. He's GAY (assuming...unless confirmed)
2. He wants to have kids of his own...
3. To have kids, HE NEED TO MARRY or SLEEP with a GIRL (fiance, girlfriend - A WOMAN)
4. See # 1
5. He doesn't qualify/ eligible to adopt coz HE'S SINGLE.
(if I'm not mistaken, single can't adopt?)
So, what's the next alternative???
There's nothing wrong with it in my opinion Brit. If he can provide a good, loving home, great for the kids.
Why do you find it repulsive? Because the kids have not been conceived in the conventional way? Im not sure I understand where you're coming from.
Share your thoughts, the gay issue aside.

I am amazed how allegiances change when gays come into the picture..
Now! If the guy wasn't of the gay persuasion, then would your thoughts be different ??
:(
"Your born, You Live, You Die, given this premise, one can conclude since we have no control over when we are born and when we die, the only thing that matters to us should be how we live, simple really?" Mis-Cat to her philosophy Lecturer.
JULIO IGLESIAS (his father) would be so disappointed that his son did not follow his footsteps.
and to think the FATHER is a casanova during his time....
I want to be reincarnated as a Gay man...
my options for attractive charming men would be a lot wider if I were male!
Either way, Ricky M or R. Martin (whatever!) may have chosen this means as HE IS could not adopt SINCE he's a bachelor, right?
And if he is (confirmed) GAY (hinting and hoping it's just a hearsay, can you blame me?), thew more he would not be able to adopt.
We can't avoid this topic to swing to GAYISM bcoz the person is rumoured to be...then ADOPTION and SURROGACY would come in the picture too...
BOTTOMLINE...for me, as long as the kids (twin boys?) are well taken care of/for, who are we to judge?
Sorry, britexpat...but from a woman's point of view, I think it's ok...
To tell you but..Yep......

OK. OK..
So do we agree with this or not ?
Let's not get into the Gay issue again, but do you think its right that he should do this ?
GEEZZ...when he had that mole removed, he lost that kind of appeal but being GAY? Not Enrique Iglesias?...
I was on a sabbatical! lol
Nah, I just got too lazy to post for a while!
I'm back though! ...and so many more Brits here, eh?
ROFL! Welcome to the convo thexonic, maybe it's time to lay off that cookie dough eh? :P

He should offer if in 2-4 half pints!
Women should only drink from half pints (regardless of quantity) It's more lady like! :-P
LOL. Poor Mr. Paul. Come-on guys he can be charming, he always offers to buy the ladies a pint after all.

I was wondering the same....
charming does not equal drinking beer and farting....LOL
I know you can't dance, I've seen your facebook pics and everyone can read your oh so "non-charming QL posts"
:-P
I'm pulling your leg here..I was referring to Enrique Iglasias who is also reportedly as Gay as they come...

Yes he is definately gay - all the signs:
a) he can dance
b) he has a good body
c) he is charming
Wow..Mis-cat, thanks for pointing that out...never would have guessed...yeah right! Although admittedly, I don't have the gaydar gift, Ricky is kinda obvious
I may be blonde but I am wise
smile lots laugh more
I'm shocked and stunned..
I've already removed his poosters from my walls and thrown his CD's in the bin..
Yup..He is..he's denied it one to many times..and as the famous line from "Hamlet" goes "The lady doth protests too much, methinks".........

like what happened to Michael jackson's...
Ricky Martin is as gay as they come. I'm sure he and his boyfriend will be raising these kids.

A man cannot shake his bon bons like he does so well and be straight na-ah!!! (no offence)

I dont think Surrogacy is only for childless couples..
What if a man dont want to get married but he want a child with his own DNA? best way is to use a surrogate mom.
Snowy...maybe he wanted a child with his own genes..:)
Mis-cat....are you trying to tell me he's gay???
I may be blonde but I am wise
smile lots laugh more
WELL....there were talks that he was...
OR maybe he wants kids but not the complications of having to wed and a wife and would divorce him later on...CELEBRITY MARRIAGE are costly but think about the DIVORCE SETTLEMENT/ALIMONIES (spellcheck?)...would definitely scare anyone...
Yeah.. because of his boyfriend!!!

LOL Brit....technically for him there was a problem conceiving!
I may be blonde but I am wise
smile lots laugh more
So its not in vogue to adopt anymore?
I may be blonde but I am wise
smile lots laugh more
It seems to be a short cut to something he wants..
I somehow think that its like wanting a pet and going out and buying one... He may tire of it quickly..
For me, surrogacy should be used in cases where there is a problem conceiving..
Why you think its repulsive??
All the hassles of getting married, getting divorced and legal battle for the custody of children can all be avoided. I think its a wise decision..
He is working against sexual abuse against children and another Big pop star is always molesting children..lol
