Ricky Martin is showing everyone he’s in fantastic shape, and he’s not shy about it. The "She Bangs" hitmaker, who is 53, recently gave fans a peek at his toned physique. He posted a nearly naked photo on his Instagram stories on Tuesday, September 30. The picture, set to the song "Push" by Connor Price and Nic D, showed Martin standing in his bathroom mirror. He snapped a shot that went below his hip bones.
In the picture, the musician flashed a small smile at his phone. His chiseled abs did all the talking; no caption was needed. He let the image speak for itself, and it certainly made a statement.
The Puerto Rican star is currently single. He and artist Jwan Yosef divorced in 2023 after six years of marriage. They share two children: their daughter Lucía, 6, and son Renn, 5. Martin also has twin sons, Matteo and Valentino, who are 17. They were born via surrogacy when he was single.
This isn’t the first time Martin has posted a daring photo online. He often shares suggestive pictures on Instagram. On July 10, the singer shared several shirtless photos while soaking up the sun at the beach. He captioned those pictures, “Suns out, doubts out.” Nearly half a million people liked that post.
More recently, Martin posted a series of photos on September 8 before the MTV Video Music Awards. These pictures also showed him without a shirt as he got ready for the show. His prep included having his pants sewn, getting skincare treatments, and a haircut. Martin performed a medley of his popular songs at the annual music awards. He also received the first-ever Latin Icon Award that night.

Fans even thought Martin’s daring attitude might have carried over to the stage earlier this year. He joined Madonna during her Miami concert on April 7. He was asked to help her perform her hit song “Vogue.”
Instead of singing with the 67-year-old Queen of Pop, Martin acted as a judge. Dancers paraded their moves down a runway for him to score. He agreed, and his lively dance during the performance got social media users talking. Many believed he became visibly excited.
“Wait a minute, Ricky Martin, is that a…? 😱” one fan wrote on X, sharing a viral video of the moment. Another user replied, “Oh my God! What did I just see? Ricky Martin living his best life and I am totally here for it, yes honey.”
News outlets like TMZ and Entertainment Weekly also questioned if Martin got excited during the show. The singer never directly spoke about the rumors. However, he did post a video of himself on stage with Madonna on his social media.
Martin has kept himself in excellent shape over the years. He focuses on his health and well-being. He shared his daily self-care routine in a 2021 interview with Vogue magazine. He told the publication he meditates every day for "15, 20 minutes, half an hour." He also uses various skin treatments. These include "alkaline water, eye patches, an antioxidant moisturizer, and ice cubes." He explained that rubbing ice cubes on his skin helps with circulation.
