Singer Ricky Martin to wed Syrian-born artist Jwan Yosef

Martin, one of the biggest stars of the Latin music world, made the announcement on Wednesday?s “The Ellen DeGeneres Show.”
The 44-year-old singer, who is an art collector, said he had contacted the painter after seeing some of his conceptual work.
“I saw his art and I went crazy, cause I really love what he does, really original, and so I contacted him,” Martin said on the show.
He said the couple had known each other for a little more than a year and were now living together.
“We just got engaged,” he gushed, showing off his engagement ring.
Martin said his husband-to-be gets along really well with his eight-year-old twins, who were born to a surrogate mother.
In an interview with Vogue Arabia published in November, Yosef said he was born in the small Syrian town of Ras Al-Ayn but had lived most of his life in Sweden and Britain.
He only recently moved to Los Angeles.
