“It has been a special time for us and we cant wait to see where this stellar baby will take us. Both her beautiful brothers and me and Jwan have fallen in love with Lucia.”

It was on an episode of Ellen that Ricky announced his engagement, the confident performer admitting he suffered nerves when popping the big question.
The Grammy- and Emmy-nominated star said: “I saw his art, and I went crazy because I really love what he does – really original. And I contacted him.”
Ellen then joked: “And then you collected him.”

Baby Lucia’s arrival comes just one year after her loving parents married, news which Ricky confirmed in early January 2018.
The Latin singer explained: “We exchanged vows, and we’ve sworn everything, and we’ve signed all the papers that we needed to sign, prenups and everything.”
Congratulations to the happy family. We can’t wait to see more of little Lucia soon.
