“Jwan and I will always be family. We have two children together that we will raise together,” he told the outlet.
“This didn’t just happen. We’ve been planning this situation for a long time now — pre-pandemic,” said Martin of his divorce from Yosef, 38, before detailing the conversations that led to the decision to split. “We went through the highs and lows. We cried together and we laughed together.”
“When the public found out, we had already been through a solid process of grief,” added the “Bailamos” performer. “We knew this had to happen for our own good and for the well-being of our children. We’re better than ever, and we’re single.”
