Just over a week after announcing his divorce from Swedish artist Jwan Yosef, with whom he had been in a relationship for seven years and had formed a family with four children, Ricky Martin has applied the famous saying: “To the sorrows, stabbings”.
The Puerto Rican artist, unaware of the rumors linking him with an Argentinian model who would have been the cause of her husband’s separation, visited Spain and was surrounded by friends at the two concerts he performed at the Starlite Festival in the Costa del Sol One of her best Spanish friends is the model Esther Cañadas. They met more than two decades ago in New York through the Sabera Foundation, which helped girls in Calcutta. Their union was so strong that Martin even came to live at Esther’s house in Madrid when he applied for Spanish citizenship in 2011.
Ricky and Esther try to see each other often, and that’s what they did this weekend in Marbella. The model went there for a few days and attended the two concerts that the performer of La mordidita gave. Other celebrities who have accompanied the artist to the Costa del Sol have been the Argentinian model Valeria Mazza, with her entire family; Eva Longoria, faithful to her appointment in Marbella; the protagonist of the Fast films
The singer gave himself completely to the audience and talked about his feelings at the first concert after announcing his divorce: “I haven’t been to Starlite for a long time. Today I will leave my soul on this stage. I don’t know about you, I want to have fun. I want to remember old times, I want to celebrate, I want to celebrate life and I want them to do it with me. And yes, this concert is full of many emotions, and they will see them all because the vulnerability will be on my skin, I will give myself completely, I hope they will appreciate”. And that was how he reviewed his musical successes of the last decades, such as Maria, Vente pa’ ca and Vuelve.
Beyond the concerts, Ricky Martin enjoyed the night in Marbella and his stay in a villa with a sea view. He was visited by Esther Cañadas, who immortalized the moment with a photo, smiling and hugging, that they shared on social networks. He, dressed only in a bath towel; her, in a black satin mini dress with a halter neck. “If I love you more, I explode”, wrote the model, and the singer replied: “And me to you! Of a thousand lives”.
