RICKY Martin is turned on by intelligence.

The singer — who’s been dating stockbroker Carlos Gonzalez Abella since 2008 — admits he was not keen to have his currently beau in his life when they first met but has learned to accept him over time, and particularly enjoys how different they are.

“It was just one of those things that just happened. I was like, ‘You’re not supposed to be here right now. Would you please allow me to just go on my journey?’” he said.

“I think he’s so sexy. He’s very smart. That’s such a turn on. He leaves the house every day in a suit and tie and that is so sexy. It’s two different worlds — his and mine. I know as much about his world as he knows about my world, which makes it really cool.”

Martin recently revealed he once cancelled a gig to go on a date.

“I cancelled a show once to be with someone that I loved,” he said.

“I had one day. I thought, ‘You live in another country, I live in another country. This is incredible and I feel amazing.’

“My manager came up with some excuse. It was the most expensive date I’ve ever been on. But hey that was a very beautiful day.”
