Entertainment Tonight reports that Yosef is a London-based artist and Martin's second known boyfriend after the "She Bangs" singer split with Carlos Gonzalez Abella in 2014. The two were involved in a three-year relationship and outlets reported at that time that the decision was a mutual one as they remained friends after the split.
Meanwhile, Friday's gala took its full turn when an auction was initiated to raise funds for AIDS charities and the winning bidder would get the chance to kiss Martin. While many other participants tried to get their cash in, a lucky dog breeder won the night's much-hoped-for kiss.
According to The Daily Mail, Ana Paolo Diniz dished out a whopping $90,000 to get a kiss from the "Livin' la Vida Loca" star. Pictures of the two locking lips emerged online and though Yosef was present during the festivities, he didn't seem to mind the kiss as it was for charity.
Other celebrities also graced the event, including Kate Moss and Naomi Campbell, who co-hosted the gala with Ricardo Tisci.
Martin, a multi-award winning pop star, is the father of twins 7-year-old Matteo and Valentino, who were conceived through a surrogate mother.
