Ricky Martin is making the best of some downtime with his family, taking to social media to share a few adorable snapshots with his youngest kids on vacation.
The singer, 53, took to Instagram with a few photos from a recent trip to Spain and Sweden with his two youngest, daughter Lucia, six, and son Renn, five.
The snaps also showed off his new summer look, including a buzzcut and some facial hair, with his freshly groomed mustache and beard certainly causing a tizzy among fans.
The photos also highlighted his sculpted physique and his playful nature with his kids, including letting them grab onto his legs and getting into a pillowfight while in their hotel room, countered by a swanky breakfast outing at one of Stockholm’s gourmet restaurants, Verandan.
Ricky also posted a sizzling snap beside the pool, only featuring his toned legs, revealing he’d taken it at Madrid, plus some others from inside airplanes. “Life lately!” he simply captioned the post.
“How we love the face of Daddy Ricky!! Thank you for sharing with us!!” one fan enthused in the comments section, with another adding: “What a beautiful vacation of self care and spending it with family and friends,” and a third saying: “Stockholm in summer is a blessing.”

However, despite the pair announcing their separation and divorce in 2023 after six years of marriage, it looks like they’re still on good terms, with the Swedish artist also recently sharing highlights from the same trip to Sweden. And in a Father’s Day tribute post last month, he even included a poolside photo of himself with Ricky and their kids.

“I went through so much last year,” he shared with the publication. “I went through a divorce, I changed managers, I went through family issues. Right now, I’m in such a great place, and I just want to keep it simple and have fun with my kids, enjoy me being single and all that good stuff.”

Ricky and Jwan announced their split in July of 2023, sharing a joint statement with People which read: “We have decided to end our marriage with love, respect and dignity for our children and honoring what we have experienced as a couple all these wonderful years.”
