Luis will return with the hopes to reclaim his title. In April, the Despacito singer won the series with 18-year-old Jeidimar Rijos from Puerto Rico.
The 41-year-old musician took to his social media to celebrate the special occasion. “Dear @jeidimusic You are an example of perseverance and discipline. When someone is clear about their dream of life, no matter what the path, it always comes true. Congratulations my love. WE WINSSSSSSS. Boricuaaaaaaaa #TeamFonsi @lavozus @telemundo.”

I’m one of those guys that I’m grateful. I remember where I come from, who opened the door for me and also who closed it. But I’m very grateful for the people who have gotten me to where I am today,” he told Vibe magazine.
The Puerto Rican star continued: “I always think that reality singing shows are good. They’re good for everybody. It’s good for music. It’s good for the judges, or, in this case, the coaches. And I have to say sincerely, by far, my favorite format is The Voice. It’s a positive, family show. It’s all about giving constructive criticism.” La Voz season two is set to premiere on Telemundo in early 2020.
