NEW YORK — There won't be much ``livin' la vida loca'' for Ricky Martin these days — he's now the father of twin boys.
The Latin superstar had the children via a surrogate mother, and the babies were born a few weeks ago, according to a statement from his representatives.
``The children, delivered via gestational surrogacy, are healthy and already under Ricky's full-time care,'' said the 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.''
A representative said there was no further information on the details of the children's birth.
Martin, 36, is a multiplatinum singer who is best known for English-language hits like ``She Bangs!'' and ``Livin' la Vida Loca.'' In recent years, the Puerto Rican star has been active in charitable efforts, including the prevention of sexual exploitation of children.
