Ricky Martin says he didn't come out as gay until he was 38 in an effort to preserve his career. The 46-year-old entertainer, speaking to Trevor Noah Wednesday, explained in detail how his inner circle - out of love - led him to wait to publicly reveal his sexuality. 'And if you add to that, you know, that I was like a heartthrob, like a sex symbol,' he said. 'In 2000, I pushed Ricky Martin very hard to admit if he was gay or not, and the way he refused to do it made everyone decide that he was,' she said. He told Noah, 'I had my kids and then I said, "I have to come out, I'm not going to lie to these beautiful kids."'
