Ricky Martin's little family has doubled in size in a matter of just a few years. The singer welcomed twin boys, Matteo and Valentino, in 2008, and it wasn't until nearly 10 years later that he and husband, Jwan Yosef, added a third bundle of joy into their family. After baby Lucia's arrival in 2018, the couple had since welcomed another baby–a gorgeous baby boy named Renn–in 2019.
While seeing the hitmaker raise his two boys on his own was a true delight, seeing just how committed and dedicated he is to being a parent, we are looking forward to watching him take care of even more babies alongside his beau. The couple seem to have built such a wonderful life together and now they have four children to share that life with.
More from MamásLatinas: Celebrity dads who welcomed children after 40
The Grammy winner has been known to be super reserved about his children, especially his twin boys, and he rarely shared photos of them when they were younger. Little is known about the surrogate who helped him carry the children, and he is doing the same with his youngest kiddos. The arrival of both Lucia and Renn took fans by surprise since he didn't even announce that they were expecting.
He announced their arrival by sharing the cutest pics of them on Instagram, long after they had been born. Ricky really excels as a father, and we love seeing him thrive in his role as his kids' provider, caretaker, and protector. Scroll through to see some of his cutest moments as a dad.
This selfie with Matteo is adorable.

Ricky has been sharing the cutest pics of Lucia.

He's a playful dad.
It must be nice to grow up with a dad that has such a lovely voice! Ricky sang to his little girl while she played by his side in this short clip he shared on Instagram. The little girl can't be seen in the video but he seems so happy to be next to her.
He really takes the time to be with his babies.
Ricky is a busy man. His work as an actor, his singing career, and his activism, keep his calendar packed with events and responsibilities. He still makes sure to stay present in the moments he spends with his kids, like in this photo that his husband captured of him carrying his daughter while enjoying some fresh air, which he shared in May 2019.
Lucia is the special lady in his life.
Ricky's family had a lot to celebrate on International Woman's Day 2019. After Lucia's arrival in 2018, they now have even more of a reason to fight for women's rights. "Power to women NOW," he captioned this pic, with the hashtags, "#Lucia #FuturaMujerRadical #internationalwomensday ♀️."
Matto was the coolest date!
Matteo accompanied his dad to the Grammy Awards in February 2019 and looked so handsome! Her wore the cutest outfit with leather jacket, and was all smiles on the red carpet. "Cool cat for a date at The Grammys!!! ⚡️ @recordingacademy," Ricky captioned this pic.
Ricky shared the struggles of having a newborn.
Ricky is making sure he fulfills all the roles for his children, and makes sure that he is the one taking care of them. When Lucia was born, he shared photos capturing his lack of sleep, like this one, which he captioned: "Sleepy daddy here ♂️."
He's a multi-tasking dad!
In January 2019, Ricky was preparing for a big night as he cut his hair before heading out to the Golden Globes. While he got his haircut, he had his baby girl by his side in her stroller. "#Multitasking Getting ready for the @goldenglobes #goldenglobes2019 #acsversace," he captioned this sweet pic.
His announcement for Lucia's birth was so special.
"We are beyond happy to announce that we have become parents to a beautiful and healthy baby girl, Lucia Martin-Yosef," he captioned a pic of her little sweet arms. "It has been a special time for us and we cant wait to see where this stellar baby will take us. Both her beautiful brothers, me and Jwan have fallen in love with Lucia ❤."
He loves showing his kids affection.
There is nothing like a father's love, and he knows it. He makes sure to cover his babies with hugs and kiss so they know they are loved. This pic of him and Valentino is beyond sweet!
Ricky is a playful dad.
Letting your kids climb all over you might not be as fun as it sounds, but Ricky doesn't mind. Even when his son chooses to do so while he is in the middle of a conversation, Ricky just goes along with it.
He gets his boys involved in his activism.
He does all that he can to stand up for his people of Puerto Rico when they are going through a tough time, and that's what he did with his kids in September 2018. "A few weeks ago my kids came to me and asked ‘Dad, what can WE do to help Puerto Rico?” So they each drew & colored the Puerto Rican flag, we put the flags on t-shirts, and a beautiful idea was born," he captioned the pic. "Once we got the first shirt, my husband photographed me in it and our family was #Allin4PR. From our family to yours, we’re so grateful to each & every one of you who have purchased the shirt over the past few weeks, and to each & every artist and friend who have joined our cause!"
He keeps his kids near.
As hectic as his life can be, Ricky knows the importance of keeping his babies close to him at all times. He shared this cute pic of him getting some rest, with his son sitting right beside him. "Never alone," Ricky shared.
He really is a fun dad.
Could you ever imagine that you would be seeing a superstar like Ricky taking pics while just lounging around while wearing his pajamas in his couch with his kids? The world is social media is really wonderful.
He lets his kids rest.
Sure, wanting our babies to be productive and active is important but also knowing when to just let them rest and relax with us is also a major parenting key. Ricky shared this cute pic in March 2018 and captioned it: "Sunday in bed all day."
Sometimes, our kids have a little more energy than we do.
The singer is constantly traveling all over the world and while he might need some downtime to recharge his batteries, his kids are probably full of energy like Matteo was in this pic. "Jet lag is killing us. Or me at least," Ricky shared.
He's exposing them to art early on.
Ricky's husband is an artist, so it makes sense that the couple is already exposing their kids to the world of art. He shared this photo of him and his son at The Getty museum, and they look adorable.
Ricky lost the war against technology.
His kids seemed to be completed zeroed in on their tablets, while their dad was cast off to the side feeling ignored. That didn't stop Ricky from being by their side, though. Sometimes we have to settle for whatever we can get.
They take such awesome family photos.
This photo they shared on New Year's Eve and it was amazing! The family of four matched their outfits and all showed off their awesome looks while giving us a different pose. A family who models together, stays together.
He encourages his sons' hobbies.
We love seeing him goofing around with his kids but we also love that he lets them explore with their passions. "My son and his photography," the Grammy winner captioned this adorable snap of his son taking a photo of him. So sweet!
