Martin's surrogate mother gave birth several weeks ago, a representative has confirmed.

The babies' names and weights were not confirmed. The identity of the mother is also unknown.

"The children, delivered via surrogacy, are healthy and already under Ricky's full-time care," said a spokesperson.

"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."
