Ricky Martin Boyfriend Split Prompts Twitter Rant: Singer Preparing Jennifer Lopez Collab Single

Ricky Martin has confirmed his split from boyfriend Carlos Gonzalez Abella after five years together.

"Ricky and Carlos have mutually agreed to end their relationship, but continue to be united by friendship and their shared experiences," said a spokesperson for the singer on January 2.

Many saw this being foreshadowed in a string of tweet by Ricky Martin on Twitter.

But since the split from his boyfriend, Ricky Martin appears to be doing well and staying positive. The singer even alludes to the Katy Perry hit single "Wide Awake" after her split from Russell Brand.

Now with 5-year-old twins, Ricky Martin is ready to release more music in 2014 without his long-time boyfriend.

According to Latina, Ricky Martin will be releasing a song with Jennifer Lopez and Wisin, as well as contributing to the World Cup FIFA soundtrack.

"I’m releasing a song with Jennifer Lopez and Wisin now. Right before the World Cup, we’re doing a little TV special on it. We'll be doing a reality thing where we go into the studio, we record, we write the song, we go to the country of the person who has started writing the [World Cup] song and we take them to Brazil. It’s a whole production."

In addition, Ricky Martin revealed details on his upcoming new album.

"I’m in a very earthy place right now. I need to go back to some heavy roots and look for that. I want to go to Africa to look for sounds, and I’m going to Brazil and Spain as well. All this is in search of something culturally rich and very organic. I need real sounds and real instrumentation and to create heavy fusion, culturally speaking."
