Super Bowl 2026: Bad Bunny’s Halftime Show Featured A Real Wedding
Bad Bunny’s historic halftime performance at the Super Bowl on Sunday brought more surprises than just his sizzling set and celebrity cameos.
Ahead of Lady Gaga hitting the stage as one of the Puerto Rican superstar’s surprise guests, an officiant was seen appearing to wed two people.
After social media users speculated whether or not the two were a real couiple, and if they had actually tied the knot, NBC Sports’ Rohan Nadkarni confirmed that the wedding was, indeed, real.
Bad Bunny’s representatives have also confirmed to Variety that the nuptials were legitimate.
The moment reportedly came to be after the couple invited Bad Bunny to their ceremony, but the musician couldn’t attend as he was occupied with the Super Bowl halftime show — so the pair were offered the opportunity of a lifetime to get married on stage midway through the performance at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, instead.

As the couple got hitched on stage, Gaga sang a remixed version of her 2024 hit Die With A Smile and danced with Bad Bunny.
Reps for Bad Bunny and the NFL didn’t immediately respond to HuffPost’s request for comment.
In addition to Gaga, Bad Bunny kept the energy going when he brought out singer Ricky Martin, another Puerto Rican icon, for a rendition of El Apagón.

Fans on X have been full of praise for Bad Bunny’s blazing performance.
“So many emotions. Bad Bunny got me feeling like I was at Puerto Rican wedding, family reunion and liberation party [dance emojis] Beautiful. He killed it,” one person wrote.
Another said: “Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl performance was able to encapsulate Latino culture in 15 mins. The kid being asleep on the chairs during the wedding is PEAK.”
“Didn’t expect to get choked up. That was beautiful, Bad Bunny! Loved the set and the camera work at the wedding scene specifically,” someone else commented.
