On Monday, Nov. 4, the proud dad posted a series of photos on his Instagram of his twins as the family of three attended Harris' rally in Philadelphia. Martin, who performed at the event, shared a photo of his sons meeting the presidential candidate and posing for a picture.

Both of his sons smiled in the photo, with one holding up his hand for the picture. “History class for my boys,” Martin wrote in his caption. “Such a pleasure to perform at her rally in Philadelphia. Don’t forget to vote familia. @kamalaharris #harrisforpresident.”

Martin welcomed his twins via surrogate in 2008 as a single dad. After marrying then-husband Jwan Yosef in 2017, the couple welcomed daughter Lucia, 5, and son Renn, 5, via surrogate, just nine months apart.
