Yes, the Wedding During Bad Bunny's Super Bowl Halftime Show Was Actually Real

Santa Clara, Calif.—In a spectacle already destined for halftime-show lore, global superstar Bad Bunny turned the Super Bowl’s intermission into an impromptu wedding chapel on Sunday night at Levi’s Stadium, confirming that the on-stage nuptials were 100 percent legitimate.

Midway through a performance that leaned heavily on themes of love and unity, choreography gave way to ceremony: a couple clasped hands beneath bright lights, an officiant led them through vows, and a kiss sealed the deal in front of a roaring crowd and a television audience numbering in the tens of millions. Moments later the stage parted to reveal surprise guest Lady Gaga, but the newlyweds remained the evening’s breakout story.

According to NBC News reporter Rohan Nadkarni, the marriage was no stunt. The couple had originally invited Bad Bunny to attend their wedding; the Puerto Rican artist countered with an offer they couldn’t refuse—tie the knot live during his Super Bowl set. The result was a first-of-its-kind matrimonial moment in the 58-year history of the championship game’s halftime entertainment.

With that single invitation, the pair traded a traditional reception for a global stage, earning what may stand as the most unforgettable wedding story ever told.
