What happens when the passion dies?
In the case of Ricky Martin and soon-to-be ex-husband Jwan Yosef it is to get a divorce. As reported late last week, the couple are splitting.
"Ricky, 51, and Jwan, 38, announced this week that they were divorcing after six years together - and now an insider has revealed how the pair ultimately 'fell out of love' after years of enjoying an 'open' relationship, while insisting that infidelity was not a factor in their split," reports the Daily Mail.
"Like many couples, Ricky and Jwan had an open relationship for most of their marriage and this worked for them, until it didn't," the source told the outlet.
"That being said," the source continued, "neither of them fell in love with someone else. Sex was something they engaged in together and separate with other partners."
The Daily Mail report continued: "The source said that the pair have ended their marriage 'amicably' and are hoping to share custody of their four children - 14-year-old twins Matteo and Valentino, who Ricky welcomed via a surrogate before he married Jwan, and Lucia, four, and Renn, three."
Martin posted an Instagram in Spanish about the split. It is translated below:
