Ricky Martin's Surrogate -- Open for Business

46. According to his wiki page he said he was straight many times.
BUT NOW I READ HE IS DATING RENE RUIZ THE DESIGNER TO THE ELITE IN MIAMI.
I HEARD REBECA DE ALBA DEFEND HIM FOR YEARS SAYING HE IS STRAIGHT - I'M SO CONFUSED BY THIS MAN.

WHY DOESN'T HE GET A GOOD PR PERSON BEFORE HIS IMAGE IS DAMAGED EVEN MORE THAN IT WAS BY THAT WEIRD 'LIFE' CD?

47. Straight men do do this you know! Half of all marriages end in divorce as do relationships. Then men rarely get the kids. He supposedly got a tattoo on his lower tummy from a bad break up years ago. and then he and that Mexican woman kept breaking up and getting back together. Perhaps he just wanted to be a Dad and didn't want to wait until he was too old because he can't find a wife.

Last year he said if he had a girlfriend he would buy her a ring and that his career kept him from settling down. (Search "ricky martin likes to be alone" Metro co uk)

48. A surrogate mother is the person who gestates, or carries a future human being. A surrogate mother can carry the baby, or babies by many different means. For example, she can use her own eggs making her, obviously, biologically connected to the baby, or babies. If donor eggs are used, then, obviously, she just gestates the "little human", and there's no biological connection. The person, people, or couple "hiring" the surrogate mother usually have their plans in place, and the surrogate mother knows the "rules", too. Every state has different rules.

(There's NO "THE" before the "SHE" in this paragraph, nor in the paragraph in the comment above. It's the first full paragraph under the definition of surrogacy ... My mistake, sorry! ...)

49. This is my first time ever posting a comment but couldnt resist.
I am a previous surrogate and actually know about this case. This surrogate was a Gestational Surrogate (he used donor eggs)
I have no respect for this woman, she took full advantage of the situation with him being a celebrity and now after the delivery she is trying to cash in her on her story and even though there is a legal contract that stipulates she is not to speak to anyone about this case she has already delivered so unfortunatly its not going to stop her from blabbing her mouth.

To answer the question of the "compensation" question, it is NOT taxed since it is NOT income and worded in ones contract as "for pain and suffering" or as a "gift". First time surrogates get anywhere between $20-28,000 and experienced surrogates get $30-40,000+
This girl is only 26 and has been a surrogate 3 times and will do it again. My personal opinion is she is in it for all the WRONG reasons!!!!!!!!

Surrogates like myself cannot stand these type.

JMHO :)

50. As I have heard the story, Ricky is a very romantic gentleman. He believes in the power of love between two people. I seriously doubt it was as "sterile" as whacking off into a jar. He is much more classy than that. I know beyond a doubt that Ricky made sure the act would be a lasting memory. Which it should be for every individual. Gay or Straight. PERIOD.
