Ricky Martin poses with his twins in rare family outing at Kamala Harris rally

Ricky Martin made a rare appearance with his 16-year-old twins Matteo and Valentino at Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign rally in Philadelphia on Monday.

The singer, who performed at the rally, shared photos of his family at the event on Instagram the same day.

One photo shows Martin and his kids smiling and posing with Harris. Another photo features Harris shaking hands with Valentino while his dad and brother look on.

"History class for my boys," Martin wrote in the caption. "Such a pleasure to perform at her rally in Philadelphia. Don't forget to vote familia. @kamalaharris #harrisforpresident."

In addition to his twins, the "Palm Royale" star is also a dad to daughter Lucia and son Renn, both 5, whom he welcomed with his ex, Jwan Yosef.

During an appearance on "The Kelly Clarkson Show" in June 2024, Martin explained how his children first found out about his famed career.

"I have four kids. I have twin boys ... they've always been traveling with me. They're homeschooled," he shared. "When they were like 5 or 6, I allowed them to go in front of the stage because, for me, I thought it was too overstimulating because they would always see me from backstage. So they went in front of the stage and when they came back they go 'Oh, got it Daddy. You are Ricky Martin.'"

"It was just so beautiful," he added, followed by a smile.

The "Livin' La Vida Loca" singer has also spoken publicly about how involved his sons are in his career, noting that Valentino, in particular, provides feedback on his shows.

"He takes notes, and he comes and tells me, 'Something happened with the dancers,'" Martin said on SiriusXM's "Andy Cohen Live" back in March. "I think he's gonna be a manager or something."

Martin said at the time that Matteo sometimes gave him critiques as well, saying, "He's like, 'No, dad, you cannot do that. No dabbing. That's not cool anymore.'"

Martin added that he loves his sons' feedback and is happy that his teenage sons still want to be around him so much.

"This is the moment where you're not cool anymore, but they want to be with me," he said at the time. "They want to stay with me. They don't want to go anywhere."

Martin welcomed the twins via surrogate in 2008, prior to marrying Yosef. He welcomed Lucia and Renn during his relationship with Yosef.

The former couple shared they were divorcing last summer after six years of marriage.

What to know about Ricky Martin's 4 kids

Matteo

Martin welcomed Matteo via surrogate on Aug. 9, 2008. He arrived minutes before his fraternal brother was born, according to People.

As he grew older, Matteo began to share a similar passion to his dad taking an interest in music. He joined Martin on the set of the singer's music video in June 2022.

Speaking to "Entertainment Tonight" in 2020, Martin said his twins had become more opinionated when it comes to his music.

"They're picky and they love music. When I come home with something that they don't like, they have no filters. They tell you," Martin said, followed by a laugh, adding that they also share what they do like. "Especially this new single… One of the twins, he heard it and then (he's like), 'Nice. Yeah. This I like.'"

Valentino

Born via surrogate minutes after his fraternal brother, Martin described Valentino as the opposite of Matteo when they both were newborns.

Martin told People shortly after he was born that "Valentino loves to sleep."

"I call him Mr.Peace and Love because he's so chill and serene," the singer said at the time.

During an interview with Extra in 2020, Martin shared that Valentino aspired to be a YouTuber.

"Matteo is more into the arts and Valentino is gonna spend his life in front of a screen because he wants to be the best YouTuber in the world," he said.

Last year, both Matteo and Valentino joined their dad onstage during his concert.

Sharing the video of the sweet moment on Instagram, Martin wrote in the caption at the time, "What a beautiful surprise! When my twins jumped on stage with me for the first time in Locarno, Switzerland."

Lucia

Lucia was born via surrogate on Dec. 24, 2018. She shares the same birthday as Martin.

The singer and his then partner Yosef announced the arrival of their daughter on New Year's Eve in 2018 via Instagram, writing in the caption, "both her brothers and Jwan and I are completely in love with our baby and grateful to be able to start this 2019 with the best gift we could receive, the gift of life."

In 2021, Martin shared a sweet post on Instagram featuring father-daughter moments of him and Lucia to mark her 3rd birthday. In one video, Lucia was seen adorably running towards Martin's arms while the two were hanging out by the beach.

Renn

The youngest of the family, Renn arrived only nine months after his sister Lucia was born. Martin and his ex Yosef welcomed Renn via surrogate on Oct. 29, 2019.

The former couple shared their son's arrival on Instagram. Martin was all smiles when posting an adorable photo of him and Yosef cuddling their newborn son in the post, along with the sweet announcement "Nuestro hijo," meaning "our son."

At the time, Martin also included the hashtag "elbebéhanacido," or, in English, "TheBabyIsBorn," in the caption, which also revealed the child's full name: Renn Martin-Yosef.

Just like any of his other siblings, Renn makes occasional appearances on the singer's social media account.

In one cute photo the singer shared on Instagram in 2021, Renn was seen hanging upside down over his dad's head while the singer gave him a kiss on the cheek.
