“My family’s here,” Martin said. “My husband Jwan, I love you, my beautiful twins, Valentino and Matteo, they’re also here, I love you with all my heart, you’re my strength, you inspire me every day, you motivate me to keep doing what I’m doing and you guys are amazing kids. You guys are amazing. I love you.”

He added, “Lucia, my baby girl, who’s not here with us, she stayed at home with grandma, but she’s also the light of my life. And by the way, I have to announce that we are pregnant. We are waiting.”

As the crowd erupted in cheers, Martin stated, “I love big families.”

In January 2018, Martin revealed he and Yosef, a 35-year-old artist, were married. The couple welcomed daughter Lucia last December.

Martin is also a parent to 11-year-old twin boys.
