Thanksgiving means a day of travel for Ricky Martin and his kids.

On Thursday, the "Livin' la Vida Loca" superstar posted to Instagram and shared photos of himself and kids Matteo, Valentino, Lucia and Renn traveling for Thanksgiving.

Martin, 51, posted an image taken from behind of himself holding hands with daughter Lucia, 4½, and son Renn, 4, while twin sons Matteo and Valentino, both 15, walked alongside them through an airport. "With my platoon, 'to infinity and beyond,'" he wrote in the Instagram caption, including three hashtags: "#happyDayforPapi #ontheroadagain #thankful."

The musician tagged the photo with a Las Vegas location — seemingly indicating they were traveling to the Nevada city, where he's set to perform at T-Mobile Arena on Friday for the latest stop of his Trilogy Tour with Enrique Iglesias and Pitbull.

On his Instagram Stories, Martin also shared a mid-flight selfie from an airplane seat, holding a princess doll and looking out the window. "#Daddyduties," he wrote.

Martin became a single father to Matteo and Valentino, 15, born via surrogate in 2008. In 2017, Martin married artist Jwan Yosef, and the couple welcomed their own children, daughter Lucia and son Renn via surrogate just nine months apart the following year.

In July 2023, Martin and Yosef announced that they were divorcing after six years of marriage. In a statement, they shared that their children would be their main focus amidst their split.

"Our greatest desire now is to continue having a healthy family dynamic and a relationship centered on peace and friendship to continue the joint upbringing of our children," it read in part.

According to court documents obtained by PEOPLE, Martin is seeking joint custody of Lucia and Renn.

In August 2023, Martin opened to Telemundo Puerto Rico about the time leading up to their decision to separate and how they'll continue to co-parent Lucia and Renn.

"Jwan and I will always be family. We have two children together that we will raise together," he told the outlet.

"This didn’t just happen. We’ve been planning this situation for a long time now — pre-pandemic," said Martin of his divorce from Yosef, 38, before detailing the conversations that led to the decision to split. "We went through the highs and lows. We cried together and we laughed together."

"When the public found out, we had already been through a solid process of grief," added the "Bailamos" performer. "We knew this had to happen for our own good and for the well-being of our children. We’re better than ever, and we’re single."
