Ricky Martin and his husband, Jwan Yosef, are divorcing after six years of marriage. The couple shared the news in a joint Instagram post on July 6: “For some time, we have considered transforming our relationship, and it is after careful consideration that we have decided to end our marriage with love, respect, and dignity for our children preserving and honoring what we have experienced as a couple all of these wonderful years. Our greatest desire now is to continue having a healthy family dynamic and a relationship centered on our genuine friendship as we continue the joint upbringing of our children. As always, we thank you for all the love and support we received throughout our marriage. We are united in nurturing this new chapter of our lives.” Martin also posted the statement in Spanish on his social media platforms.

Martin, 51, and Yosef, 38, first shared the news with People in a joint statement. Martin and Yosef share two kids: daughter Lucia, 5, and son Renn, 4. Martin also has 15-year-old twins Matteo and Valentino, and People noted he’ll “continue to raise [them] as a single parent.” The couple first met via Instagram in 2015 before making their relationship official at a 2016 gala for amfAR, The Foundation for AIDS Research. They connected IRL for the first time six months later in London, and were engaged in 2016. Marti and Yosef were married in 2018, and welcomed their children together soon after.

Born in Syria and raised in Sweden, Yosef is an accomplished painter and artist who just opened a new studio in Los Angeles. Martin was recently cast in the upcoming Apple TV+ series “Palm Royale”, featuring Kristen Wiig, Laura Dern, Carol Burnett and Allison Janney. In October, the singer is set to kick off The Trilogy Tour across North America with co-headliners Pitbull and Enrique Iglesias.

Fall Out Boy have shared an updated version of Billy Joel’s classic hit, “We Didn’t Start the Fire.” Joel’s version mentioned events that took place from 1949 through 1989; Fall Out Boy picked up where Joel left off, starting with 1989 through 2023. However, Fall Out Boy did not run through the timeline in chronological order, like Joel’s version does.

Fall Out Boy said of the updated song: “I thought about this song a lot when I was younger. All these important people and events- some that disappeared into the sands of time- others that changed the world forever. So much has happened in the span of the last 34 years- we felt like a little system update might be fun. Hope you like our take on it…”

In celebration of the release, the band has dropped a limited edition 7-inch vinyl version of the track that includes an etching on side B. The vinyl, limited to $5,000 copies, can be purchased at the band’s webstore.

Meghan Trainor and husband Daryl Sabara have welcomed their second baby together.

Trainor announced on social media that she had given birth to the couple’s second baby, a boy, sharing photos of the newborn named Barry Bruce Trainor and writing in the caption: “On July 1st (our 7-year anniversary of our first date) we welcomed Barry Bruce Trainor into the world. He was a big boy at 8lbs 7oz…and sideways (transverse), but we had an amazing, successful c-section, and I finally got my skin-to-skin time! Thank you to all of the incredible doctors and nurses who took such great care of us.”

Trainor and Sabara first began dating back in 2016 after they were set up by their mutual friend, actress Chloë Grace Moretz. The couple became engaged just a year later, and were married in December 2018 in an intimate backyard ceremony. The couple welcomed their first child together, a son named Riley, in February 2021.
