Ricky Martin is dad! The Latin superstar is the father of twin boys via a surrogate mother according to his publicist.

The children, delivered via gestational surrogacy, are healthy and already under Ricky's full-time care," said the statement. "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."

First Clay Aiken and now Ricky! Petri dishes must be the new black!

Congratulations!
