Tragic Details About Ricky Martin

April 2024 · 2 minute read

In July 2022, a restraining order was filed against Ricky Martin under Puerto Rico's Domestic Abuse Prevention and Intervention Act, per Us Weekly. According to early reports in Puerto Rico newspaper El Vocero, the anonymous individual was reportedly romantically involved with Martin for seven months. As fans know, Martin has been married to Jwan Yosef since 2017, so these allegations raise questions about the relationship. The singer's team has attempted to clear his name despite the filing of the restraining order. In a statement to The Hollywood Reporter, his reps denied the accusations. "We are very confident that when the true facts come out in this matter, our client Ricky Martin will be fully vindicated," they stated.

Martin took to social media to address the allegations, denying any wrongdoing. "The protection order entered against me is based on completely false allegations, so I will respond through the judicial process with the facts and the dignity that characterizes me," the actor shared via Twitter, noting that he legally could not add anything further. "I am grateful for the countless messages of solidarity, and I receive them with all my heart," he wrote.

Later that same month, however, the individual was identified as Martin's 21-year-old nephew. The singer's lawyer told Deadline, "Unfortunately, the person who made this claim is struggling with deep mental health challenges. Ricky Martin has, of course, never been — and would never be — involved in any kind of sexual or romantic relationship with his nephew." At the time of writing, Martin's accuser has made no public comments about the allegations.
