Ricky Martin is requesting joint custody of his kids with Jwan Yosef in their divorce. Last week, the former pair announced that their marriage had come to an end. They had been married for six years and share two children together.
Court documents obtained by NBC News show that the divorce filing cited irreconcilable differences. According to the documents, Ricky will pay spousal support and legal fees to Jwan.
The former pair welcomed two children together: Lucia, 4, and Renn, 3. Ricky also is raising 14-year-old twin sons who he welcomed via surrogate as a single parent before he and Jwan got together. He will retain sole custody over the twins.
In a statement issued last week, Ricky shared that their decision to end the marriage comes with their children in mind. “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,” the couple said in the joint statement.
