• The couple sent Bad Bunny a wedding invitation and he responded by offering them Levi’s Stadium as their venue
• Sacramento pastor Antonio Reyes officiated the ceremony during “Baile Inolvidable” as Lady Gaga and 80,000 fans watched
• Bad Bunny signed the marriage certificate as the couple’s legal witness, making it the first confirmed wedding during a Super Bowl halftime show

SANTA CLARA, CA (TDR) — The wedding ceremony woven into Bad Bunny‘s Super Bowl LX halftime show was not choreography. The unnamed couple who exchanged vows at Levi’s Stadium on Feb. 8 were legally married during the performance, with Bad Bunny serving as their official witness and signing their marriage certificate, the singer’s representatives confirmed to The Associated Press and multiple outlets after the show.

How a Wedding Invitation Became a Super Bowl Moment

The backstory reads like something even a halftime show producer couldn’t script. The couple — who have not been publicly identified — sent Bad Bunny an invitation to their wedding. Rather than attend, the six-time Grammy winner flipped the invitation: he asked them to get married during his halftime show instead.

“Bad Bunny frequently receives invites to weddings from his fans, and he wanted to celebrate at least one couple’s big day on his big day.”

That detail came from Bruce Rodgers, co-producer of the halftime show, in an interview with Wired. The production team then built the ceremony into the show’s narrative arc, making love and union a recurring theme across the 13-minute performance.

The couple first appeared on the field about five minutes into the set, beginning with a proposal sequence that opened the wedding storyline. Sacramento pastor Antonio Reyes, who joined the South Sacramento campus of his church in 2024, officiated the ceremony as Bad Bunny performed his 2025 track “Baile Inolvidable” on the main stage. A smiling Reyes declared the couple married as the bride and groom — both wearing white — shared a kiss surrounded by backup dancers and musicians.

The newlyweds then stepped aside to reveal Lady Gaga, who emerged alongside Los Sobrinos, the Puerto Rican salsa band from Bad Bunny’s most recent album, for a Latin-inflected rendition of “Die With a Smile.” The performance even showed the couple cutting a wedding cake and sharing their first dance — all while roughly 80,000 stadium attendees and an estimated 125 million television viewers watched.

Bad Bunny Made It Legal

This was not a symbolic gesture. Bad Bunny’s team confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter that the singer personally signed the couple’s marriage certificate as their legal witness. League sources separately confirmed the marriage to ESPN.

“The Seahawks weren’t the only ones to get rings at the Super Bowl.”

The moment quickly went viral after the show, with viewers flooding social media to ask whether the ceremony was staged. NBC Sports reporter Rohan Nadkarni was among the first to confirm it, citing a source familiar with the production. One comment on the NFL’s official YouTube video captured the sentiment spreading online: “Imagine being in your 80s telling your grandchildren you got married at the Super Bowl.”

The wedding also meant that the couple’s guest list technically included Ricky Martin, Cardi B, Pedro Pascal, Jessica Alba, Karol G, Alix Earle, Venezuelan MLB star Ronald Acuña Jr., boxer Xander Zayas and Brooklyn’s own Toñita, the owner of the Caribbean Social Club where Bad Bunny hangs out in New York.

“They need to give me several hours to even begin processing the tsunami of emotions I’m feeling.”

That was Ricky Martin posting to social media after the show, reflecting on his own guest appearance — one that happened to coincide with the newlyweds’ big moment.

A First for the Super Bowl

While the Super Bowl halftime show has produced countless iconic moments across six decades — from Prince playing in the rain to Shakira and Jennifer Lopez’s 2020 extravaganza — a legally binding wedding during the performance appears to be without precedent. Sports Illustrated called it “certainly a first as far as Super Bowl halftime performances go.”

The wedding fit seamlessly into a halftime show that critics praised for its emotional depth and cultural resonance. The entire production served as a love letter to Puerto Rico, opening with Bad Bunny walking through a recreated sugar cane field and moving through a vecindad — a traditional neighborhood — complete with a barbershop, liquor store and his signature “casita.”

The show’s central message, displayed on the stadium’s massive screens, tied the wedding to Bad Bunny’s broader theme.

“The only thing more powerful than hate is love.”

The production required 9,852 theatrical pyrotechnics, but the show’s most memorable moment required only two people, a pastor and a signature.

The Personal Stakes Behind the Spectacle

The wedding also drew attention to Bad Bunny’s own romantic life. Fans noted the singer wore a single gold ring on his left hand at the 2026 Grammys the week before, fueling speculation about a possible reunion with Gabriela Berlingeri, whom he dated from 2020 to 2022. Berlingeri was spotted inside Crypto.com Arena during the Grammy ceremony and reshared the post announcing his Album of the Year win. Unverified reports have circulated suggesting the pair may have quietly married in Puerto Rico last summer, though neither has confirmed the rumors.

Meanwhile, Kendall Jenner — whom Bad Bunny dated briefly from 2023 to 2024 — was among the celebrities spotted at Levi’s Stadium for the game.

The halftime performance came on the heels of Bad Bunny’s historic night at the 68th Grammy Awards, where “Debí Tirar Más Fotos” became the first all-Spanish-language album to win Album of the Year. During that acceptance speech, he told the audience: “ICE out. We’re not savages, we’re not animals, we’re not aliens, we are humans and we are Americans.” His Super Bowl performance referenced that speech but stopped short of repeating it explicitly, opting for the broader unity message that culminated in Bad Bunny holding a football inscribed with “Together, we are America.”

President Donald Trump called the halftime show “a slap in the face to our country” on Truth Social, though he did not reference the wedding specifically.

In an era when the Super Bowl halftime show routinely generates more conversation than the game itself, does a legally binding wedding on the world’s biggest stage represent the event’s evolution into something beyond entertainment — or is it the ultimate sign that spectacle has overtaken sport?
