Ricky Martin has been the subject of criticism for giving valuable jewelry to his daughter Lucía, who is only six years old. The Puerto Rican singer shared a recent update about the girl, showing her wearing high-end jewelry pieces. This caused divided opinions among his followers, some of whom think this type of jewelry is not appropriate for a young girl.
Lucía is Ricky Martin's only daughter, and he is also the father of three boys: twins Matteo and Valentino, and little Renn. Since her birth in 2018, Lucía has been described by her father as "the queen of the house" and "the light of my eyes." Because of the great love he feels for her, he is determined to start building her a jewelry box with the finest and most delicate pieces.
Ricky Martin, target of criticism for what he has done with his daughter
Since he became a father, Ricky Martin has made it clear that his top priority is and always will be his children. He was certain of this with the birth of the twins, the first to make the Puerto Rican a father. Later, Lucía and Renn would arrive, who are 6 and 5 years old (1.83 yd. and 1.52 yd.) respectively.
It is precisely the only girl in the family who is the main protagonist of a recent update Ricky has shared. The singer has shown his followers the diamond earrings he gave her from the brand Tiffany. Two pairs of earrings whose price is far beyond what any ordinary person can afford.
This completely innocent gift has caused Martin a series of problems. Some of his fans do not look favorably on this type of gift and consider it completely inappropriate. Considering that Lucía is only 6 years old (6.56 yd.), they think it is very risky for her to wear those earrings in public.
Others highlight the life of excess and top-level that the children of the renowned singer lead. They accuse Martin of promoting a superficial and materialistic lifestyle, and of spoiling Lucía with such ostentatious gifts.
However, Ricky Martin's defenders argue that it is his right as a father. They claim that he can spend his money as he sees fit and that parenting is a personal matter in which no one should interfere.
Ricky Martin always tries to give the best to all his children
When it comes to care and attention, Ricky Martin has never made distinctions among his four children. Although the twins are already 16 years old (17.5 yd.) and now his priority is the little ones in the house, Lucía and Renn.
The singer has always expressed his desire to give the best to his children, especially Lucía for being the only girl in the family. She is not only Ricky's favorite, but also her ex-husband Jwan Yosef's, and the rest of her siblings'.
On one occasion, Ricky Martin surprised Lucía at her school during her birthday, sharing a special moment with her and her classmates. This gesture was widely praised by his followers, who highlighted the artist's dedication to his children. However, the recent post about the jewelry has reignited the debate about giving ostentatious gifts to minors.
Despite the criticism, Ricky continues to show his unconditional love for Lucía, supporting her interests and aspirations. In an interview, he revealed that his daughter expressed her desire to follow in his footsteps in music, which filled the singer with pride. "My heart wanted to jump out of my mouth because I always said she was a star," he confessed.
Opinions and debates aside, the truth is that the Puerto Rican artist goes out of his way for his family. Whether by giving gifts to his children or getting fully involved in their education.
