Ricky Martin tried in the pandemic to keep his children from feeling anxious

Ricky Martin focused during the pandemic on being a good father and making sure his children didn’t feel the anxiety he was suffering from the health crisis.

In an interview with the American magazine People, published this Sunday, he revealed that his family “was fine” but that he felt anxious.

“I was monitoring my kids all the time, just to make sure they didn’t feel the anxiety I was feeling, to be honest,” she stated.

He has indicated that despite being “really anxious”, the creation of his album “Pause” became his “best medicine”.

Next to “YHLQMDLG,” by Bad Bunny; “For the First Time,” by Camilo; “Table For Two,” by Kany Garcia; and “03:33”, by Debi Nova, “Pausa” competes this Sunday for the award in the category of Best Latin Pop Album at the Grammy Awards.

The singer argued that at the beginning of the pandemic he had the support of his mother, who when he was visiting Los Angeles finally stayed when the situation for covid-19 worsened throughout the United States, for helping care for her children with her husband Jwan Yosef, twins Matteo and Valentino, 12, Lucia, 2, and Renn, 17, while focusing on her drive.

“They were very happy to be with their grandparents because fortunately my mother was with us the first four months of the pandemic,” he said.

“She came to visit us in Los Angeles and I said, ‘Mom, you’re not going to go on another plane back home. I’m sorry. You’ll stay with us,'” he stressed.

“It was great that she was with us,” she adds.

“While everyone was going crazy, I decided to finish my album and it helped a lot that she was there,” she told People.

In turn, she explained that her husband took the photos for the “Pause” album and her children helped choose them.

“My kids helped me choose the photos. They were really honest about the images they loved and the ones they hated,” he adds.

Finally, he revealed that for the past few months he has been living at home in Puerto Rico, where his children have been able to spend more time with their grandmother.

“I can’t complain. This (Puerto Rico) is beautiful. I’m with my family. I’ve been here for quite some time after I was in my forties and all the tests for everyone (…) I’m very happy to be here, ”he concluded.
