In September 2019, Ricky revealed that baby number four was on the way during a speech he made at the 23rd annual Human Rights Campaign National Dinner in Washington. (He was honored with the National Visibility Award for his LGBTQ advocacy and his philanthropy.)
“My family’s here,” Ricky said at the time. “Jwan, I don’t see you, but my husband, Jwan, I love you. My beautiful twins, Valentino and Matteo, they’re also here. I love you with all my heart, you’re my strength, you inspire me every day, you motivate me to keep doing what I’m doing and you guys are amazing kids. You guys are amazing.”
In addition to giving a shoutout to Lucia, the singer shared some exciting news with the crowd. “And by the way, I have to announce that we are pregnant,” he said, which was met with cheers. “We are waiting. All right! I love big families.”
On Oct. 29, 2019, Ricky announced via Instagram the arrival of his fourth child — a baby boy named Renn. Just like his three older children, Renn was born via surrogate.
