Ricky Martin is taking some time to relax before getting back into the swing of things, sharing a bit of his peaceful environment at home. With a couple of adorable interruptions.
The musician, 52, took to his Instagram with a clip of himself lounging on his couch at home and talking to his fans about some downtime before heading out to film the second season of the Apple TV+ series Palm Royale.
However, in the background, his life as a dad was crystal clear, as his five-year-old daughter Lucia could be heard running around and playing behind him. She could then be heard screaming out: "Daddy I'm ready!"
"Tomorrow is my first call to film Palm Royale for a second season," he said, adding that he'll also be heading to Chihuahua, Mexico for a concert, and spoke fondly about getting back into the thick of things.
While gushing over his kids, though, many fans were quick to notice one noticeable change in the star's appearance — a half-shaven beard, a departure from his recent polished stubble. He showed on his Instagram Stories later that the beard was completely off, ready to step back into the role of Robert.
"You look more handsome and younger without your beard," one fan remarked, while another added: "When I saw you shaved your beard, I knew it was time to bring Robert back," and a third remarked: "You took off your beard, Ricky!!"
Earlier this year, the dad-of-four (he is also a dad to teen twins Matteo and Valentino) spoke with The Hollywood Reporter about inhabiting the role opposite industry heavyweights like Laura Dern, Kristen Wiig and Carol Burnett.
When asked why he said yes to the show in the first place, he straight up responded: "Because I'd be stupid to say no. It's an amazing story, without a doubt. I wanted to be a part of a project that will make people think, and I think that's what we have here. We make people think with a sense of humor and a lot of comedy."
He continued: "Then, let's just be honest, to be in front of the camera with Kristen Wiig, Carol Burnett and Laura Dern? It doesn't get better. If I'm going to sit here and take notes and get paid, this is the best scenario."
"I love acting. I've been working as an entertainer for many years in my life. The first time I was in front of the camera as an actor, I was 15 years old," he added.

"In the last couple of years, I've been able to really confront my emotions with this task of telling important stories," Ricky continued. "So I feel very blessed that I'm doing it with who I'm doing it with, and how after every project I just feel that I've grown."
He also teased: "The cliffhanger at the end of season one is amazing in the show. So there's so much to have fun with if there’s a second season."
