Out of nowhere, Ricky Martin has become a father - twice over.
People reported on Wednesday that, via surrogacy, Ricky had become a father to twins, and not recently, either. The article said the babies had been delivered "in recent weeks".
"The children, delivered via gestational surrogacy, are healthy and already under Ricky's full-time care," the singer's rep said in a statement. "Ricky is elated to begin this new chapter in his life as a parent and will be spending the remainder of the year out of the public spotlight in order to spend time with his children."
(Please note: this is not a picture of Ricky with one of his newborn children. This is a picture of Ricky with a random baby, one who looks like he (she?) might have just spit up on its own face. I certainly someone appeared with a burp cloth for that poor child.)
No other details - like who the surrogate was, what the babies were named or where they were born - were released.
Now, this is a story that surprised me. I haven't seen Ricky's name come up in a long time, and when I have, it's been about whether he's in or out of the closet. Then all of a sudden, he's got twins?
And is it just me, or is Hollywood going through a MAYJAH baby boom?

I loved him when he played Miguel Morez on General Hospital. So he only lasted a year, it was still pretty hot and didn't see so weird.
