Oh, Ricky, you’re so fertile

The twins trend will soon see no end.

Joining Brangelina, J-Lo and Marc Anthony, Marcia Cross, Diddy, Patrick Dempsey, Nancy Grace, Elvis Costello and Diana Krall, Dennis Quaid, Julia Roberts, etc. is Ricky Martin, who became a father of twin boys a few weeks via surrogate mother.

If you picked “surrogate mother” in the “How will Ricky Martin ever have biological offspring” office pool, you weren’t alone. Trust us.

“The children, delivered via gestational surrogacy, are healthy and already under Ricky’s full-time care,” said his representative. “Ricky is elated to begin this new chapter in his life as a parent and will be spending the remainder of the year out of the public spotlight in order to spend time with his children.”

Oh … has he been back in the public spotlight?

A former member of Menudo, Martin, 36, is a multiplatinum singer who is best known for English-language hits like “She Bangs!” and “Livin’ la Vida Loca.”

In recent years, the Puerto Rican star has been active in charitable efforts, including the prevention of sexual exploitation of children.

Oh, and Matt Damon and his wife Luciana had a baby girl Wednesday in Miami. But it’s only one, not in vitro, and therefore not very trendy. So we legally can’t treat it like a big deal.
