It was was a wonderful end to 2018 for Ricky Martin and his husband Jwan Yosef who just welcomed a baby girl, Lucia, to their family.

"We are beyond happy to announce that we have become parents to a beautiful and healthy baby girl, Lucia Martin-Yosef," Martin announced in an Instagram post with a sweet photo of the proud dads holding baby Lucia's tiny hands.

 

 

"It has been a special time for us and we can't wait to see where this stellar baby will take us," Martin continued.

Martin and Yosef wed in January of this year after two years of dating. The international pop star met Yosef, a painter and visual artist on Instagram and they began dating. In November of 2016, Martin appeared on Ellen DeGeneres's show and announced that he'd asked Yosef to marry him.

He's my husband. He's my man," Martin said following their wedding. "We exchanged vows...It feels amazing!"

Baby Lucia is also welcomed by her 10-year-old twin brothers, Valentino and Matteo.

"Both her beautiful brothers and me and Jwan have fallen in love with Lucia," Martin wrote.
