Bad Bunny shared the spotlight with a lucky couple during the Super Bowl LX half time show
Fans watched during Sunday’s Feb. 8 performance at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif., as a couple came together and held hands in front of a marriage officiant. The pair then shared a sweet kiss as Lady Gaga appeared as a surprise guest.
Amid speculation about whether the wedding was real, Bad Bunny’s rep later confirmed it variety that it really was a real ceremony. Sports reporter for NBC News Rohan Nadkarni separately claimed the pair reached out to Bad Bunny, 31, before the halftime show.
“This is insanely cool: A source familiar with Bad Bunny’s performance tonight tells me the halftime show couple actually got married,” Nadkarni wrote via X on sunday “They invited Bad Bunny to their wedding, and he in turn invited them to get married during his performance.”
Since then, viewers have taken to social media to weigh in on the moment, and whether anyone should say “I do” during the Super Bowl.
“So the Super Bowl halftime just turned into a real wedding venue? Great story, but also kind of wild, the NFL is supposed to be football, not the reality TV concert reunion ceremony. At what point does the halftime show stop being all about the game?” one user wrote, while another added: “This is next level unforgettable – getting married on the Super Bowl stage is wild.”
Bad Bunny (real name Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio) was also joined on stage by several celebrities, including Pedro Pascal, Jessica Alba and influencer Alix Earle. At one point in the show, he handed his Grammy to a young guy who was seen watching the rapper’s recent film. Album of the Year acceptance speech. (Bad Bunny won Album of the Year for his I should have taken more pictures album.)
Referring to Bad Bunny’s Grammy speech, a marker displayed a message that read, “The only thing more powerful than hate is love.”
Bad Bunny’s decision to act has been the object of mixed reactions of fans, NFL players and political figures. Amid criticism, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell championed the option of the artist headlining football’s biggest night.
“He’s one of the leading and most popular artists in the world,” Goodell, 66, told reporters during a press conference in October 2025. “That’s what we’re trying to achieve. It’s a big milestone for us. It’s a big element of entertainment value, and it’s carefully thought out.”
Goodell, 66, noted that the league has struggled with some of its performer choices in the past.
“I’m not sure we’ve ever selected an artist where we didn’t have some pushback and criticism,” he said. “It’s pretty hard to do when you have literally hundreds of millions of people watching.”
Goodell shared that the NFL was “confident” Bad Bunny would put on a “great” show, noting, “He understands the platform he’s on, and I think it’s going to be exciting and a bonding moment.”
