Has Ricky Martin always been this awkward? It’s kind of adorable! Ricky Martin announced a lot of big news on Ellen, including some very personal news that he is now engaged to his boyfriend twin, Jwan Yosef. “I was really nervous, but I got on my knees and I took out the little metal box. I just had it in a little velvet pouch and instead of saying ‘Will you marry me?’ I said, ‘I got you something!’ Bad,†Ricky recalls. “I said, ‘I want to spend my life with you’ and he was like, ‘What is the question?’ ‘Would you marry me?’ That’s it.â€
But at least he’s more comfortable talking about his professional career. Like many an aging pop star before him, Martin, too, will take up a Las Vegas residency. And because Ellen has taken up the mantle of gift-giving from Oprah, she bequeathed two tickets and a two-night stay for the audience to Ricky’s show. Time to scream!
