Ricky Martin IS gay, claims pal

Sexy singer Ricky Martin, famous for his 90s hit 'Livin' La Vida Loca' has been outed as  gay by a friend.

Ricky, who has sold almost 48 million albums worldwide, has kept relatively quiet about his sexuality since shooting to fame in the nineties, but Hollywood skincare guru Ole Henriksen  told a Swedish magazine: “He is a bit more open about it these days than he used to be.

“It’s difficult for artists, women as well as men, who need to sell lots of records to be open about their sexuality.”

When asked if Ricky, 35, has a boyfriend, Ole added: “I don’t know if he has any.

"At least I haven't seen him.”
