He’s a worldwide music icon and sexy symbol with an audience of millions — but does Ricky Martin consume weed?
Puerto Rican superstar Ricky Martin has spent four decades in the spotlight as one of Latin pop’s most enduring icons, but fans curious about his personal life often wonder: Does Ricky Martin consume marijuana? While he hasn’t publicly embraced cannabis use as part of his lifestyle in recent years, there are some intriguing bits from his past suggesting he’s candid — when asked — about taking breaks and decompressing away from fame.

In a past interview, Martin admitted on his birthdays, he would “disappear to Amsterdam” for some alone time where he might “smoke my joint” and relax away from public scrutiny. That anecdote, shared in the context of his personal coming-out journey and need for solitude, remains one of the few instances where Martin interwove cannabis with his own narrative — though he framed it as a tool for decompression during a difficult period rather than an ongoing habit.
Today, Martin appears focused on health and holistic living rather than partying or substance use. In a recent Entertainment Tonight interview about his latest acting work, he said he drinks lots of water and avoids drugs and alcohol as part of “good living,” a comment aligning with a wellness-centric lifestyle more than a recreational one.
That acting work is garnering fresh attention. Martin plays Robert Díaz in Palm Royale, Apple TV+’s star-studded period comedy-drama. His turn as a high-society bartender with secrets in 1969 Palm Beach has earned praise for adding depth to the ensemble, which includes legends like Carol Burnett and Kristen Wiig.

And even outside scripted television, Martin continues to share big cultural stages with today’s biggest stars. At the Super Bowl LX halftime show in February 2026, he joined Bad Bunny and Lady Gaga in a historic performance celebrated Latin music on one of the world’s largest platforms.
Whether he’s singing, acting or quietly navigating life offstage, Ricky Martin still commands headlines — and the public’s curiosity — about everything from his artistic choices to rumors about how he unwinds. What’s clear is this multi-faceted entertainer continues to evolve while staying true to his storied career.
