Ricky Martin shows the world his twins Valentino and Matteo in the newest issue of People Magazine.

PEOPLE: Describe this time in your life

MARTIN: I'm so happy! Everything they do, from smiling to crying, feels like a blessing. Being a father feels amazing. This has been the most spiritual moment in my life.

How hands-on are you as a father?

I don't have a nanny. I'm doing this on my own because I don't want to miss a moment. I have a personal assistant who helps me, someone who takes care of me while I'm taking care of them, but I'm the one who changes the diapers, the one that feeds them, the one that bathes them, the one that puts them to sleep. For any parent, the first couple of months tend to get a little bit intense.

Why did you choose to become a parent via surrogate?

Adoption was one option, but it's complicated and can take a long time. Surrogacy was an intriguing and faster option. I thought, 'I'm going to jump into this with no fear.'

Cute.

Did this guy ever come out of the closet?

Nope not yet...that's why I was laughing when he answered the surrogate question.

"Um because I have a penis and can't birth my own, and sleeping with a woman is not an option" should have been the answer.

I think that you are on to something. Why not just do it the old fashioned way?
