Two-time Grammy winner Ricky Martin and musician Jwan Yosef are said to have struck a discreet, amicable divorce settlement for their seven-year marriage, about two months after they announced their official separation.

According to TMZ, the 38-year-old Syrian-Swedish and the 51-year-old Puerto Rican music diva "entered into an uncontested written agreement to divide their property and marriage rights, including support," and they are "asking the judge to sign off on the deal."

The singer said the whole process has actually been fantastic, so much so that he even suggested to Jwan that they write a guide on how to divorce amicably.

Ricky (real name Enrique Morales) said to Telemundo Puerto Rico on August 1.

He said they have accomplished it with patience and serenity, but it was much simpler than we anticipated.

The couple already went through a "grieving process" inside their $13.5M seven-bedroom Beverly Hills estate well before the COVID-19 pandemic, so the divorce has been in the works for a while.

Ricky and Jwan have two children together, Lucia Martin-Yosef, 4, and Renn Martin-Yosef, 3. Martin is also the sole parent of twin boys, Matteo and Valentino Martin, who are 15 years old.

The cido Sabor singer insisted that their kids never saw a fight between Jwan and him.

He added that he always considered Jwan to be family. We are going to raise our two children together.

The pair made their marriage public in 2018. Yosef and Martin, according to Martin's statement at the time, had "signed all the papers that we needed to sign, prenups and everything."

The couple got engaged the same year they made their red carpet debut in 2016 after connecting on Instagram. Lucia and Renn were born to them in 2018 and 2019, respectively. Matteo and Valentino, Martin's other set of identical sons, were delivered by surrogate in 2008.

Ricky came out as gay in 2010 on his official website. This Saturday, Martin will bring his Sinfónico Tour to La Romana, Dominican Republic's Altos de Chavón, where it currently has 15.7 million Spotify subscribers.

The 10-episode comedy Palm Royale, which concluded production before to the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, will air on Apple TV+ and feature Robert against Kristen Wiig's social climber Maxime Simmons. Carol Burnett, Laura Dern, Allison Janney, Leslie Bibb, and Josh Lucas are also featured in Abe Sylvia's 1969 Palm Beach, Florida-set sitcom, which is based on Juliet McDaniel's book Mr. & Mrs. American Pie.
