Ricky Martin Opens Up About His Foot Fetish Again
During a recent appearance on The View, Ricky Martin candidly discussed his foot fetish, confirming to co-host Joy Behar, “I love feet.” This revelation comes after the Grammy award-winning singer previously spoke about his foot fetish in February, admitting to sharing feet pictures for his fans’ enjoyment. Now, amid discussions about his new Apple TV+ series, Palm Royale, Martin doubled down on his affection for feet in his latest interview.
Co-host Joy Behar initiated the conversation by referencing Martin’s Instagram photo, prompting Ricky Martin to confirm his affinity for feet with a simple, “I love feet.” Behar humorously remarked that all the panelists, including Martin, are featured on WikiFeet, a website peculiarly dedicated to cataloging images of celebrities’ feet. Martin, a dancer, shrugged off the attention, suggesting that while he’s unsure about the appeal of his own feet, others seem to appreciate them.

This isn’t the first time Ricky Martin has spoken openly about his foot fetish. In a previous interview with GQ, he unabashedly declared his love for feet, stating that he enjoys foot massages and would gladly spend hours kissing feet. He emphasized that everyone has their preferences or fetishes, likening his affection for feet to others’ preferences for armpits.
Despite his openness about his foot fetish, Martin has faced challenges in his journey to self-acceptance, particularly regarding his sexuality. He publicly came out as gay in 2010 but recalled feeling pressured and violated when controversial journalist Barbara Walters pressed him about his sexuality during an interview in 2000. Martin expressed discomfort with discussing his sexuality at the time, describing the experience as unsettling.
Throughout his career, Ricky Martin has embraced his identity and pursued his passions, both in music and advocacy. His willingness to openly discuss his foot fetish reflects his commitment to authenticity and self-expression, encouraging others to embrace their true selves without fear or shame.
As Martin continues to navigate his personal and professional life, he remains an influential figure, not just in the music industry but also in advocating for LGBTQ+ rights and acceptance. His candid discussions about his foot fetish serve as a reminder of the importance of embracing individuality and celebrating one’s unique preferences and desires.
