Ricky Martin, 29, was sighted keeping company at a recent music festival in San Remo, Italy, with Latvian model Ines Misan, age unconfirmed, according to newspaper stories in the singer's hometown of San Juan. Photos depicting the two holding hands in London accompanied the reports. "She's his friend at the moment," Nanette Lamboy, a spokeswoman for Martin's San Juan-based manager, told the Associated Press. "I can't confirm that she's his girlfriend, but they've been seeing each other." And it seems that this will remain the case. "They're together in London," said Lamboy. Martin is heading to England to promote his new CD, "Sound Loaded." Added the rep: "He'll leave soon for Germany, likely with Misan at his side."
