Ricky Martin's journey to stardom began at 12 when he joined Menudo, despite initially being rejected twice due to his height. Five years later, he launched a solo career, singing in five languages and popularizing Latin pop globally. Martin's path included stints in Mexican theater, TV shows, and American soap operas and sitcoms. He eventually came out as gay, after his six-year marriage and four children through surrogacy, and subsequent divorce.
