On December 24, 1971, singer Ricky Martin was born into a family of singers, Doña Nereida Morales and Enrique Martín Negroni. Similarly, he was reared in San Juan, Puerto Rico, by his parents. His real name is Enrique Martin Negroni Nereida Morales, although he goes by Ricky on stage. The singer’s father, Enrique Martín Negroni, was a psychologist, and his mother, Doña Nereida Morales, is a former accountant.
In addition, his father was formerly employed by a Puerto Rican mental health organization as a regional administrator. Regretfully, Ricky’s parents separated when he was just two years old. Martin was thus under his mother’s custody. The present singer was likewise permitted to move between his father’s homes despite his mother’s custody restrictions.
According to reports, Enrique Martín Negroni resided in University Gardens, a middle-class suburb of San Juan. Singer Ricky said in a People interview that he never gave thought to which of his parents he loved more. The performer stated:
I never had to choose between two people I loved more. I was content all the time.
But subsequently, he felt offended and saddened by his father’s request. As a result, Ricky and his father had not spoken in over ten years.
