Ricky Martin 'Planning To Wed Boyfriend'

Ricky Martin is reported to have been granted Spanish citizenship, with the intention of using the country's same-sex marriage laws to wed his partner Carlos Gonzalez.

Spanish newspaper El Pais broke the story, claiming that he was not asked to renounce his Puerto Rican or US citizenship - which is apparently quite unusual.

The singer who is father to three-year-old twin boys Matteo and Valentino, has been dating Carlos for four years.

He has previously suggested he wanted to get married, saying: "I would get married… There are many countries around the world where same-sex marriage is a right. Not in Puerto Rico, unfortunately. And not in many states in America."

Ricky came out as gay in 2009.
