The singer emphasized that providing their children with a harmonious and peaceful environment is their top priority, a commitment they have fully fulfilled.

Ricky found solace in his work. Acting allowed him to express his emotions and feel better, as he shared during an interview. “For me, the most important thing is to confront my emotions and not avoid them, not push them aside, but work definitely helps, being creative, having your mind busy helps to heal a little, but the important thing is not to let the feelings go. On the one hand, you can’t,” the star said.
The support of his mother and his loved ones
Ricky has always had his mother by his side, providing him with unconditional love and support whenever needed. This love has also extended to his children, especially during a challenging personal transition that the singer is currently going through. “My mother is always with me, look how lucky I am, she is a very dedicated grandmother and my children see lights because of their grandmother and yes, my mother has been with me, but that has been all my life, even when I started my career as soloist, my mother has always been there nearby, with an eagle eye,” he revealed.
Ricky also said he feels fulfilled by surrounding himself with loving people who have been there for him when he needs them most. “I have a lot of people around me, friends who love me, who lift my spirit when I’m a little down and who put my feet on the ground when I’m a little euphoric. I think it is important, and on that side, I am the richest man in the world,” he said, smiling.
