“I didn’t rent a womb. This expression is used by conservative fundamentalists. Someone lent me their belly. I didn’t pay for it. I would give my life to the woman who helped me bring my children into the world, ”she justified in an interview.

SEPARATION

The most viral news among the Latino community right now is the unexpected divorce of Ricky Martin and Jwan Yosef. Little is known about the reason that ended the couple’s six-year marriage. Speculation has already begun, but apparently the separation is not related to a third person, as Jwan continues to live in the house he shares with the singer and the children.

In his statement about the separation, a phrase used called attention: ‘dignity towards ourselves and our children’, which leads to the thought that the two were not getting along anymore.

Ricky added: “We just exchanged messages, we talked about life, about existential things. Not sexy. Nothing sexual. It wasn’t like he sent me sexy pictures and vice versa, I swear. He lived in London, I went to London to meet him and that was it… I was breathless when I saw him… Six months building up and it was very romantic.”, he recounts.

Jwan Yosef is a Swedish painter of Syrian origin. He studied art at various schools and at Stockholm Art University he graduated with a degree in Fine Arts.
