Singer Ricky Martin has opened up about his life, his partner and their children in the new edition of The Advocate magazine.

Marking his first-ever interview with the long-running title, the superstar tells-all to the brand’s Arts & Entertainment editor, Jeremy Kinser, for the April issue.

In particular, he details how he met his partner – financial analyst stockbroker, Carlos Gonzalez Abella – in 2008.

“It was just one of those things that just happened,” he recalls. “I was like, ‘You’re not supposed to be here right now. Would you please allow me to just go on my journey?’"

He adds: “I think he’s so sexy. He’s very smart. That is such a turn-on. He laves the house every day in a suit and tie and that is so sexy. It’s two different worlds—his and mine.

"I know as much about his world as he knows about my world, which makes it really cool.”

Following his cameo role on Glee, Martin also reveals how he will return to the acting in a forthcoming Broadway production of Evita, starring as Che.

“I can go from anger to love to uncertainty within 30 minutes of the show,” Martin says.

“That’s amazing because that’s what my life has been about for the last three years—feeling. Not sabotaging any kind of emotions. Letting everything just come through me a verbalize it. It’s a very spiritual exercise that I’ll do every night.”

“And since I’ve come out, I’ve been verbal about the importance of equality and what needs to be said. That’s what Che is about too. That is going to be my inspiration, my motivation every night.”
