The Livin’ La Vida Loca singer has revealed to Ellen Degeneres during a recent interview that he is engaged to boyfriend Jwan Yosef.

“I’m in love!” he confessed to the TV host. Ellen then asked the latin lover ALL the details of when and how they met.

“He’s a conceptional artist and I’m a collector so I started looking for art and I saw his art and I went crazy because I really love what he does. Really original. And then I contacted him,” the former Voice coach said.

“And then you collected him!” Ellen remarked.

The couple first met over a year ago.

The 44-year-old father of two then revealed that it was he who popped the question.

“I proposed,” he confessed.

“I was really nervous, but I got on my knees and I took out the little metal box I just had it in a little velvet pouch and instead of saying ‘Will you marry me?’” he said. “I said, ‘I got you something!’ Bad!” he laughted.
