Since then, the Puerto Rican artist and activist has released countless global hits, found love with Jwan Yosef and became un papá orgulloso to 13-year-old twins Valentino and Matteo, his only daughter Lucía, and his youngest son, Renn.
Upon reflecting on his nearly 40-year career, Martin shares, "Each stage of my career has left me with a great lesson. I've been working since I was 12 years old, I've practically grown up in front of the cameras and on stage—so I had no choice but to learn from my experiences, correct what didn't work for me and pay close attention to what was around me."
He continued, "After almost a 40-year career, some of the most important lessons that I have taken with me are to take care of myself physically and mentally. If you are not well yourself, you cannot be well for anyone else."
Martin also credits his immense success to "surrounding" himself with folks who aren't "afraid" to tell him when he is wrong or bring him to opportunities that may prove to be incredibly beneficial to him careerwise like his upcoming show Mrs. American Pie alongside Laura Dern, Kristen Wiig and Allison Janney.
He affirms, "The truth is that I am very excited about this project. My agent sent me the script just as I finished [work on my upcoming EP] Play a couple of months ago. I sat down and read it in one sitting. I thought it was brilliant, different and not to mention the actresses that are part of this production are goddesses! I think it was the fastest "yes" I've ever given. I feel like all this time I was preparing for a role like this."
