The Puerto Rican singer recently proposed to Janette Figueroa and they have already set their big day for 26 June (16) - in the middle of Nieves' theatre stint in his upcoming show I Like It Like That.

Nieves, 57, reveals the date is particularly special to him, telling Primera Hora, "We want to do it on the same date as my parents' wedding anniversary.

"We will have to get married in New York because by that time I'll be in the musical I Like It Like That there, but the reception will be in Puerto Rico."

The marriage will be the 57 year old's second - he was previously wed to Irma Nieves, the mother of his two sons, Humberto and Ommy, who died from bone cancer at the age of 24. The former couple divorced in 2012.
