RICKY MARTIN: `I WANT TO GET MARRIED AND HAVE KIDS'

NEW YORK (Wireless Flash) -- Ricky Martin is attempting to clear up any rumors about his sexual preference. Ricky tells the upcoming "Rolling Stone" that rumors that he's gay are pure "fantasy" and claims he wants to marry a woman and have kids someday. The sex-symbol skirts the issue by saying he's not too concerned what other people say about him, because the people he really cares about already know the truth about his sexuality. 27-year-old Ricky confesses he's already has his eye on the woman he wants to be the mother of his children: 35-year-old TV executive Rebecca de Alba, who he has dated on and off for the last 10 years. However, if Ricky wants to stay on top of the charts, he may have to put his fatherhood dreams on the backburner because he admits when he's in love, he tends to ignore his career.
