Ricky Martin wants to have more children with his husband Jwan Yosef.

The singer has twin boys, Matteo and Valentino, born through surrogacy but Martin seems to be wanting to increase his brood with his husband – who he married in 2016.

And while accepting an award for his LGBT activism at Los Angeles LGBT Center’s 49th Anniversary Vanguard Awards, the 46-year-old singer called for his husband to “keep having babies”.

The former Attitude cover star said: “The inspiration [to be an advocate] comes from my kids because when I held them for the first time, I knew I could not lie.

“I always teach them to be honest. I’ve been fighting human trafficking for many years with my own foundation and every human rights issue is connected.

“My mission is to go to those little Latin American towns where the word gay is a curse, and I am going to end this. Little by little, we’re taking steps to keep forcing the issue.

“I could be talking for a while, but I just need to mention my husband. Jwan, I love you so much, man.

“Love you so much… Let’s keep having babies, man.”
