Ricky Martin has apparently not yet completed his family planning.
The singer already has four children with husband Jwan Yosef.
"Some people think I'm crazy," Martin said now to the online magazine "ET".
"But I love to have a big family and I still have a few embryos in store."
He added, rather jokingly, that it was better not to tell your partner about it - he is currently going crazy because of the children.
The couple have two twelve-year-old sons, twins Matteo and Valentino.
Martin and Yosef are also parents of two year old Lucia and one year old Renn.
In the summer, the Puerto Rico-born singer had already talked about being able to imagine more offspring.
"Sometimes I want ten more," he told Out magazine at the time.
"I would like to have a lot of grandchildren to spend every weekend with, but we'll see what happens," says Martin.
Martin admitted at the time that there are also moments when being a father takes a lot of energy.
Sometimes he reaches his limits.
"I carry two babies at the same time, a stroller and a backpack - that's a lot," said Martin.
Nevertheless, he did not want to rule out another increase.
On some days, however, he also thinks to himself: "Okay, maybe six of us are fine too."
At the time of the corona pandemic, there was also a crash between the children, said the singer.
His oldest sons are now entering puberty, for example there is a dispute about who is allowed to stay in which room.
Even so, overall they handled the situation very well.
"I'm very, very proud of her and I'm very lucky to have this family," said Martin.
"Adoption is a possibility and very nice, but unfortunately it is very difficult for gay men in many countries to adopt"

He often dreamed of becoming a father, said Martin.
"I've gone through this grieving process very, very, very many times: I'm gay, I'm a covertly gay man, and I'll never be able to become a father," said the singer.
At the same time, he pointed out the difficulties of adoptions for other homosexual couples.
"Adoption is a possibility and very nice, but unfortunately it is very difficult for gay men in many countries to adopt."
In 2008, a surrogate mother gave birth to Martin's first two sons, and it was only two years later that Martin made his homosexuality public.
He has been married to Yosef since 2017.
