After Miguel and Lily broke up on “General Hospital,” Ricky Martin lasted with the soap one more year while his character had a fling with Vanessa Marcil’s Brenda Barrett. Then, in 1995, he embarked on a world tour from which he has yet to return. Eventually, Martin’s own mainstream music career took off in 1999 with the debut of the single “Livin’ La Vida Loca.” He’s also appeared on Broadway in classic musicals like “Les Miserables” and “Evita” (via Biography).
In 2012, Martin made a guest appearance on “Late Night With Jimmy Fallon” and paid homage to his soap days with a very soapy skit that was a clear parody of real daytime dramas. The script even had lines peppered in that were lyrics from Martin’s songs, according to the Huffington Post.
In the years since, Martin has continued to make music and music videos while also continuing to act. He even appeared in 2018’s season of “American Crime Story.” Martin is also married to Jwan Yosef and together they have four children via surrogate — twins, Valentino and Matteo, daughter, Lucia, and son, Renn.
