Ricky Martin was nothing wanting a Latin pop powerhouse as well as probably the most greatest heartthrobs to ever pop out of the 90s. His hits like "Livin' la Vida Loca" and "She Bangs" took him to the highest of the charts the world over, and he temporarily became a household name.
Then in 2010, to fairly a few of his girl fans' dismay, he got here out as gay. He has since been residing with his husband Jwan Yosef and their 4 youngsters, however his long-term ex-girlfriend says that she knew about his sexuality even while they were dating.
Rebecca De Alba, a Mexican fashion, has opened up about her dating with the Puerto Rican singer. In an interview with AllVipp.com, she informed concerning the starting of his courtship and the development in their love.
She's quoted announcing, "It was such a beautiful thing. We were close friends and from there we fell in love, period. He gave himself up. We were always together... Ricky was zero insecure. It's… I don't know how to explain it… when you just understand yourself very well in everything, you don't have to make any effort to be happy with your partner. You do not have to be questioning things, or checking him, watching what he does, and more so being him the person he is."
Although, despite their love for one every other, she says that when the pop superstar came out as gay, it was no surprise.
As the interview persisted, she explained further about her suspicions and whether or not or not his sexuality mattered very much to her.
She's quoted saying, "I already knew it. And sometimes I think, what does it matter if I knew or didn't know? What does it matter if you happen to fall head over heels in love with a person who has another sexual preference, but is faithful and respects you? What does it matter if a person is gay, if what is worthwhile is what they are made of, what do they give you, what does it matter, the value of their life?"
Ricky Martin used to be neatly conscious that she knew about his hidden sexuality. In an interview with Vulture, he expressed his love and compassion for Rebecca de Alba, whom he didn't name, and compared their relationship to the likes of surreal artist Salvador Dalí and his wife Gala. Dalí, who was known to not be sexually attracted to ladies, had a deep love for Gala and would oftentimes use her as his muse in his paintings.
Ricky Martin was once quoted pronouncing, "I had my girlfriend, who was a woman that I dated on and off for nine years, and she’s like the Gala for Dalí. Dalí had Gala. And I had this woman who was amazing. Unfortunately, we don’t talk anymore, but she was amazing, and she was powerful, and she knew about me. She knew I was gay, but we were together... She knew and we were together. It was one of those things, but we broke up around ’97, ’98, and then I just worked."
Starring in the TV series American Crime Story: The Assassination Of Gianni Versace, by which he plays the overdue Versace's lover Antonio D’Amico, he expresses the importance of portraying a success same-sex couples on tv, particularly throughout a time period when homosexuality used to be still widely frowned upon.
He was quoted by Canoe.com announcing, “It’s vital that we shed some light on energy couples like this, although he used to be quiet and behind the scenes, and he used to be simply there supporting his guy for 15 years. I also believe there used to be a degree of homophobia going round in his circle of relatives the place he used to be hiding, despite the fact that he says, ‘My courting used to be very open and loose with Gianni.’ So I used that as neatly in front of the digicam, and for that, I will be able to at all times be very grateful.”
