Ricky Martin is seeking joint custody of his two kids with husband Jwan Yosef, according to a report. The estranged couple announced Thursday that they have called it quits after six years of marriage — but said they are still committed to the “joint upbringing” of their children.
In Martin’s divorce petition filed Wednesday, obtained by People, the “Livin’ La Vida Loca” singer requested joint custody of daughter Lucia, 4, and son Renn, 3. Martin, 51, is also the father of 14-year-old twin sons Matteo and Valentino, whom he welcomed prior to marrying Yosef.
Martin listed “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the divorce from Yosef. According to the docs, Martin will also pay spousal support to Yosef, as well as his attorney fees. The singer has “yet to determine the full nature and extent of the separate property assets and obligations of each party” based on their prenup, the outlet added.
“For some time, we have considered transforming our relationship, and it is after careful consideration that we have decided to end our marriage with love, respect and dignity for our children — preserving and honoring what we have experienced as a couple all of these wonderful years,” the pair said in a joint statement shared via Instagram.
