Ricky Martin stopped by The Ellen DeGeneres Show to talk about his upcoming book, ME ... and how his recent "coming out" was influenced by the issue of bullying.

The Livin' La Vida Loca singer tells Ellen:

    "I started feeling responsible. Ellen, I think that everyone has to go through their own process. When you're not ready. You're not ready. You have to go through a spiritual path. It doesn't mater if takes you 10, 15 years since the moment you realize where you understand who you are. You cannot be forced. Right now.... we're talking about bullying and children are being bullied because they are gay and they are committing suicide. Children are committing suicide because they are being outed. If you're not ready, you're just not ready."


As for his 2-year-old twins, Matteo and Valentino, Ellen asks Ricky, "Your boys are probably very active right? So they're running around so we have little warm up suits for them."

The perfect gift. Adorbs!
