Ricky Martinis keeping his fans on their toes when he posts photos of his feet to the ‘gram.
In arecent interview withGQ, the pop superstar, 52, admitted to having a foot fetish, after fueling fan speculation that he was into feet, based on some of the photos he posts on Instagram, for years. Beyond enthusiastically confirming his “love” for tootsies, he also spoke candidly about being willing to “open the conversation” about the fetish.
“I love feet,” the Puerto Rican music icon declared. “I have a foot thing.”
Martin also told the outlet — who reported he was very comfortable talking about the topic — how the fetish manifests. “I love foot massages, and I would kiss your feet like crazy for hours,” he shared.
“But we all have something. Some have a fetish of armpits,” the “Livin' la Vida Loca” noted.

The Grammy winner also confirmed that he frequently sneaks shots of his own toes into his Instagram posts to give his followers a little tease. “Let’s open the conversation!” he shared whenGQasked if he intentionally posted his feet for fans. “Let me like this comment that said, ‘I like your feet.’ I have fans that can draw my feet like a piece of art. They write to me: ‘Ricky, I can recognize your feet a mile away.’”
The former Menudo member previously opened up about his appreciation for feet in a 2017interviewonHarry Connick Jr.’s talk showHarry. When asked to reveal something that no one knows about him, he candidly said, “I have acrazyfoot fetish.”
He explained that he often checks out people’s toes upon meeting them. “It can be a dealbreaker,” the “She Bangs” singer added. “Pretty feet are pretty feet. Ugly feet are like duck fights.”
